Things to Come

1 aAs He was going° out of the temple°, one° of His disciples° *said° to Him, “Teacher°, behold° Iwhat° wonderful° stones° and Iwhat° wonderful° buildings°!” 2 And Jesus° said° to him, “Do you see° these° great° buildings°? aNot one stone° will be left° upon another° which° will not be torn° down°.”

Christ foretelleth the destruction of the Temple:

1 ¶ Andº as heº wentºª out ofº the² temple,º oneº of hisº disciplesº saithºª unto him,º Master,º seeº what mannerº of stonesº andº whatº buildingsº [are here]! 2 Andº Jesusº answeringºª saidºª unto him,º Seest² thou¹ª theseº greatº buildings?º there shall¹ª notº be leftºª one stone¹ upon¹ another,º² thatº shall¹ª notº be thrown down.ºª 3 Andº as heº satºª uponº the² mountº of Olivesº over againstº the² temple,º Peterº andº Jamesº andº Johnº andº Andrewº askedºª himº privately,ºº 4 Tellºª us,º whenº shall these thingsº be?ºª andº whatº [shall be] the² signº whenº allº these thingsº shallºª be fulfilled?ºª 5 Andº Jesusº answeringºª themº beganºª to say,ºª Take heedºª lestº anyº [man] deceiveºª you:º 6 Forº manyº shall comeºª inº myº name,º saying,ºª¹ Iº amºª [Christ]; andº shall deceiveºª many.º 7 Andº whenº ye shall hearºª of warsº andº rumoursº of wars,º be ye¹ª notº troubled:ºª forº [such things] must¹ª needs² be;ºª butº the² endº [shall] not [be] yet.º 8 Forº nationº shall riseºª againstº nation,º andº kingdomº againstº kingdom:º andº there shall beºª earthquakesº in divers¹ places,º² andº there shall beºª faminesº andº troubles:º theseº [are] the beginningsº of sorrows.º
