Temple Destruction and Other Signs

(Matthew 24:1–8, Mark 13:1–8)

5 As some [of the disciples] were remarking how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and consecrated gifts, [Jesus] said, 6 “[As for] what you see here, [the] time will come [when] not one stone will be left on [another]; [every one] will be thrown down.”

7 “Teacher,” they asked “when {will} these things happen? And what [will be] the sign [that] they are about to take place?”

8 [Jesus] answered, “See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am [He],’ and, ‘The time is near.’ {Do} not follow them. 9 When you hear of wars and rebellions, {do} not be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end [is] not imminent.”
