Matthew 24:3-8 - Signs Of The End Of The Age

³ So as he sat on the Hill of Olives the disciples came up to him in private and said, "Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign of your arrival and of the end of the world?"

⁴ Jesus replied, "Take care that no one misleads you; ⁵ for many will come in my name, saying 'I am the Christ,' and they will mislead many. ⁶ You will hear of wars and rumours of wars; see and do not be alarmed. These have to come, but it is not the end yet. ⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and realm against realm; there will be famines and earthquakes here and there. ⁸ All that is but the beginning of the trouble.

³ And as he sat on the Hill of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him in private, ⁴ "Tell us, when is this to happen? What will be the sign for all this to be accomplished?"

⁵ So Jesus began: "Take care that no one misleads you: ??6 many will come in my name saying, 'I am he,' and mislead many. ⁷ And when you hear of wars and rumours of war, do not be alarmed; these have to come, but it is not the end yet. ⁸ For nation will rise against nation, and realm against realm; there will be earthquakes here and there, and famines too. All that is but the beginning of the trouble.

⁷ So they asked him, "Teacher, and when will this happen? What will be the sign for this to take place?"

⁸ He said, "Take care that you are not misled; for many will come in my name saying, 'I am he' and 'the time is near' ??do not go after them. ⁹ And when you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be scared; these have to come first, but the end is not at once."

¹⁰ Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and realm against realm, ¹¹ there will be great earthquakes with famine and pestilence here and there, there will be awful portents and great signs from heaven.
