the sepulchres of the righteous,
[30] And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not
have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
[31] Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves,
that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
[32] Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
[33]
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
[34] Wherefore, behold,
I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and
some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
[35] That upon
you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the
blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
[36] Verily I say
unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
[37] O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest
the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children
together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
[38] Behold, your
house is left unto you desolate.
[39] For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say,
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Matt.24
[1] And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the
buildings of the temple.
[2] And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you,
There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
[3] And as he sat
upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things
be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
[4] And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
[5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive many.
[6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not
troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
[7] For nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in
divers places.
[8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.
[9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted,
and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
[10] And then shall many be
offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
[11] And many false prophets shall
rise, and shall deceive many.
[12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
[13]
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
[14] And this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
[15] When
ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy
place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
[16] Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
[17]
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
[18] Neither let him
which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
[19] And woe unto them that are with child, and to
them that give suck in those days!
[20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the
sabbath day:
[21] For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to
this time, no, nor ever shall be.
[22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh
be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
[23] Then if any man shall say unto
you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
[24] For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,
and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very
elect.
[25] Behold, I have told you before.
[26] Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
[27] For as the lightning cometh
out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[28] For
wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
[29] Immediately after the tribulation
of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall
from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
[30] And then shall appear the sign of
the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son
of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
[31] And he shall send his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one
end of heaven to the other.
[32] Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
[33] So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things,
know that it is near, even at the doors.
[34] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all
these things be fulfilled.
[35] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
