v6

These things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down.

v12

But before all these things, they will lay their hands upon you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name’s sake.

v13

And it shall happen unto you for a testimony.

v14

Lay it up therefore into your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer:

v15

For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.

But woe to them that are with child, and give suck in those days; for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

v24

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword; and shall be led away captives into all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles; till the times of the nations be fulfilled.

v25

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves;

v26

Men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved;

v27

v30

When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh;

v31

So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.

v32

Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, till all things be fulfilled.

v33

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

v34

And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly.

For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.

v36

Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come, and to stand before the Son of man.

v37
