2And he answering said to them, Do ye not see all these things? Verily I say to you, Not a stone shall be left here upon a stone which shall not be thrown down.

2But he answered and 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.

2and Jesus said to them, `Do ye not see all these? verily I say to you, There may not be left here a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.'

3And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign of thy coming and [the] completion of the age?

3And as he sat on 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?

3And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, `Tell us, when shall these be? and what <FI>is<Fi> the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?'

4And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one mislead you.

4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.

4And Jesus answering said to them, `Take heed that no one may lead you astray,

5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall mislead many.

5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray.

5for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall lead many astray,

6But ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not disturbed; for all [these things] must take place, but it is not yet the end.

6And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet.

6and ye shall begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, be not troubled, for it behoveth all <FI>these<Fi> to come to pass, but the end is not yet.

8But all these [are the] beginning of throes.

8But all these things are the beginning of travail.

8and all these <FI>are<Fi> the beginning of sorrows;

9Then shall they deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you; and ye will be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.

9Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name’s sake.

9then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated by all the nations because of my name;

10And then will many be offended, and will deliver one another up, and hate one another;

10And then shall many stumble, and shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.

10and then shall many be stumbled, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.

12and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold;

12And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold.

12and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many shall become cold;

13but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.

13But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

13but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved;

15When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand),

15`Whenever, therefore, ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe)

16then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;

16then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains:

21for there shall be then great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world till now, no, nor may be.

22and if those days had not been cut short, no flesh had been saved; but on account of the elect those days shall be cut short.

22And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

22And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened.

23Then if any one say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here, believe [it] not.

23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe it not.
