Signs of the End of the Age

As he sat on (A)the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him (B)privately, saying, “Tell us, (C)when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your (D)coming and of (E)the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, (F)“See that no one leads you astray. For (G)many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am (H)the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you (I)are not alarmed, for this (J)must take place, but the end is not yet. For (K)nation will rise against nation, and (L)kingdom against kingdom, and there will be (M)famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of (N)the birth pains.

“Then (O)they will deliver you up (P)to tribulation and (Q)put you to death, and (R)you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away[a] and (S)betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many (T)false prophets will arise (U)and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, (V)the love of many will grow cold. 13 (W)But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom (X)will be proclaimed throughout the whole world (Y)as a testimony (Z)to all nations, and (AA)then the end will come.

The Abomination of Desolation

15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation (AB)spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in (AC)the holy place ((AD)let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 (AE)Let the one who is on (AF)the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And (AG)alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.
