As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew were questioning Him privately,

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

"Tell us, when will these things come about, and what will be the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?"

Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

And Jesus began to say to them, "See to it that no one misleads you.

And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

"Many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He!' and they will mislead many.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

"When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.

And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

"For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are only the beginning of birth pains.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
