The Life of Jesus

In your patience you shall possess your souls.

And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army, then know that the desolation thereof is at hand.

Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains: and those who are in the midst thereof depart out: and those who are in the countries not enter into it.

For these are the days of vengeance, that all things may be fulfilled, that are written.

But woe to them that are with child and 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 captives into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles till the times of the nations be fulfilled.

And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea, and of the waves:

Men withering away for fear and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved.

And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty.

But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.

And he spoke to them a similitude. See the fig tree and all the trees:

When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh;

So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.

Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away till all things be fulfilled.

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and the cares of this life: and that day come upon you suddenly.

For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.

Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come and to stand before the Son of man.

And in the daytime, he was teaching in the temple: but at night going out, he abode in the mount that is called Olivet.

And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.

Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the pasch, was at hand.

And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Jesus to death: but they feared the people.

And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.

And he went and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them.

And they were glad and covenanted to give him money.
