Matthew 24:3-8 - Signs Of The End Of The Age
3 And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, and said: Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: Take heed that no one deceive you. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled, for all things must be fulfilled; but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in various places. 8 But all these are the beginning of sorrows.
3 And as he sat on the mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately: 4 Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?
5 Jesus answering them, began to say: Take heed, lest any one deceive you. 6 For many will come in my name, saying, I am he, and will deceive many. 7 But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled; for these things must be: but not yet is the end. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines, and tumults.
7 And they asked him, saying: Teacher, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when these things come to pass?
8 He replied: Take heed that you be not deceived; for many will come in my name, saying: I am he; and, The time is near. Go not, therefore, after them. 9 But when you hear of wars, and tumults, be not terrified; for these things must first take place; but the end comes not immediately.
10 Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; 11 and there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and famines, and pestilences; and there shall be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
