Mark xiii.5. And Jesus answering them, began to say Mat.xxiv.4. 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. Luke xxi. 8. and the time draweth nigh; go ye not therefore after them. Mat.xxiv.6. Luke xxi. 9. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: But when ye shall hear of wars, Mark xiii.6. and rumours of wars, Luke xxi.9. and commotions, be not terrified: Mat.xxiv.6. see that ye be not troubled, for all these things Luke xxi. 9. first come to pass, Mark xiii.7. but the end shall not be yet. Lu. xxi. 10. 11. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against na- And great earthquakes shall be in divers places; Lu. xxi. 11. and fearful sights, and great signs shall there be from Mat.xxiv.8. Mark xiii.9. All these are the beginning of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves: for Lu. xxi. 12. before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up Mark xiii.9. they shall deliver you up to the councils, Lu. xxi. 12. to the synagogues, Mark xiii.9. (and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten :) Lu. xxi. 12. and into prisons, Mat. xxiv.9, to be afflicted, Mark xiii.9. and ye shall he brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony Lu. xxi. 12. for my name's sake. 13. And it shall turn to you for a testimony Mark xiii.9. against them. 10. And the Gospel must first be published among all nations. 11. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take Lu. xxi. 14. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: Mar.xiii.11. but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak Lu. xxi. 15. ye: For I will give you a mouth, and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay or resist: Mar.xiii.11. for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. 12. Lu. xxi. 16. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son, and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and bre Jerusalem. 10. thren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall Jerusalem. they cause to be put to death; Mat. xxiv.9. and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Lu. xxi. 18. 19. Mt.xxiv.11. 12. 13. 14. Mar.xiii.14. Lu. xxi. 20. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 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. But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, Mt.xxiv.15. in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand.) And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21. Mar. xiii.15. Mt.xxiv.18. Lu. xxi. 22. 23. 24. Mt.xxiv.20. Mar. xiii.19. Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter there-, into. And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled. But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For in those days Mt.xxiv.21. shall be great tribulation, Mar.xiii.19. shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation Mt.xxiv.21. of the world Mar.xiii.19. which God created unto this time, neither shall be Mt.xxiv.21. no, nor ever shall be. Mar.xiii.20. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, Mt.xxiv.22. there should no flesh be saved: Mar. xiii.20, but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath Jerusalem. shortened the days. 21. And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo here is Mt.xxiv.24. Mar.xiii.23. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall seduce the very elect. But take ye heed: behold I have foretold you all things. Mt.xxiv.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. 28. Mar.xiii.24. Mt.xxiv.29. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be. For where the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. But Immediately after the tribulation of those days Lu. xxi. 25. there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26. Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for Mar.xiii.24. the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, Mt.xxiv.29. 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, Mar.xiii. 26. And then they shall see the Son of man Mt. xxiv.30. coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. Mar.xiii.27. And then shall he send his angels, Mt.xxiv.31. with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, Mar.xiii.27. from the uttermost part of the earth, to the uttermost part of heaven, Mt.xxiv.31. from the one end of heaven to the other. Lu. xxi. 28. 29. Mt.xxiv.32. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spake unto them a parable, Now learn a parable of the fig tree : Lu. xxi. 29. Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; Mar.xiii.29. When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand, Lu. xxi. 30. 31. So likewise ye, Mt.xxiv.33. when ye shall see all these things Mar.xiii.29. come to pass, Lu.xxi. 31, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand, 30. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, Lu. xxi. 32. away, Mt.xxiv.34. till all these things be fulfilled. 35.
