New Testament

Matthew 24:1-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. And Jesus departed from the temple and went away. And his disciples approached him, so as to show him the buildings of the temple.

2. But he said to them in response: "Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, there shall not remain here stone upon stone, which is not torn down."

3. Then, when he was seated at the Mount of Olives, the disciples drew near to him privately, saying: "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your advent and of the consummation of the age?"

4. And answering, Jesus said to them: "Pay attention, lest someone lead you astray.

5. For many will come in my name saying, 'I am the Christ.' And they will lead many astray.

6. For you will hear of battles and rumors of battles. Take care not to be disturbed. For these things must be, but the end is not so soon.

7. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places.

8. But all these things are just the beginning of the sorrows.

9. Then they will hand you over to tribulation, and they will kill you. And you will be hated by all nations for the sake of my name.

10. And then many will be led into sin, and will betray one another, and will have hatred for one another.

11. And many false prophets will arise, and they will lead many astray.

12. And because iniquity has abounded, the charity of many will grow cold.
