[1]Andas he went out of the temple, one of his disciples sayde vnto hym: Maister, see what stones, & what buildynges [are here.
[2]AndIesus aunswered, & sayde vnto hym: Seest thou these great buildynges? There shall not be left one stone vpon another, that shall not be throwen downe
[3]Andas he sate vpon the mount of Oliues, ouer agaynst the temple, Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrewe, asked hym, secretely
[4]Tellvs, when shall these thynges be? And what shalbe the signe when all these thynges shalbe fulfylled
[5]AndIesus aunswered them, and began to say: take heede, lest any man deceaue you
[6]Formany shall come in my name, saying I am [Christe:] and shall deceaue many
[7]Whenye shall heare of warres, and tidynges of warres, be ye not troubled: For such thynges must nedes be, but the ende is not yet
[8]Forthere shall nation aryse agaynst nation, and kyngdome agaynst kyngdome: And there shalbe earthquakes in diuers places, and famine shall there be, and troubles. These are the begynnyng of sorowes
[9]Buttake ye heede to your selues: For they shall deliuer you vp to councels, and to synagogues, and ye shalbe beaten, yea, and shalbe brought before rulers & kynges for my sake, for a testimoniall vnto them
[10]Andthe Gospel must first be published among all nations
[11]Butwhen they leade you, and present you, be not carefull aforehande, neither take thought what ye shall speake: but whatsoeuer is geuen you in the same houre, that speake ye. For it is not ye that speake, but the holy ghost
[12]Thebrother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the sonne: and the chyldren shall ryse agaynst their fathers and mothers, and shall put them to death
[13]Andye shalbe hated of all men for my names sake: But who so endureth vnto the ende, the same shalbe safe
[14]Moreouer,when ye see the abhomination of desolation, wherof is spoken by Daniel the prophete, stande where it ought not (let hym that readeth vnderstande) then let them that be in Iurie, flee to the mountaynes
[15]Andlet hym that is on ye house toppe, not go downe into the house, neither enter therin, to fetch any thyng out of his house
[16]Andlet hym that is in the fielde, not turne backe agayne vnto the thynges which he left behynde hym, for to take his garmente with hym
[17]Wo[shalbe] then to them that are with chylde, and to them that geue sucke in those dayes
[18]Butpray ye that your flyght be not in the Wynter
[19]Forthere shalbe in those dayes such tribulation, as was not from the begynnyng of creatures, which God created, vnto this tyme, neither shalbe
[20]Andexcept that the Lorde shoulde shorten [those] dayes, no fleshe shoulde be saued: But for the electes sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened [those] dayes
[21]Andthen, yf any man say to you, lo here is Christe, lo he is there, beleue not
[22]Forfalse Christes, and false prophetes shall ryse, and shall shewe signes and wonders, to deceaue, yf it were possible, euen the elect
[23]Buttake ye heede: Beholde, I haue shewed you all thynges before
[24]Moreouer,in those dayes, after that tribulation, the sunne shall waxe darke, and the moone shall not geue her light
[25]Andthe starres of heauen, shall fall: and the powers which are in heauen, shalbe shaken
[26]Andthen shall they see the sonne of man commyng in the cloudes, with great power and glory
[27]Andthen shall he sende his Angels, and shall gather together his elect, from the foure wyndes, from the ende of the earth, to the vtmost part of heauen
[28]Learnea parable of the fygge tree. When his braunche is yet tender, and hath brought foorth leaues, ye knowe that sommer is neare
[29]Soye in lyke maner, when ye see these thynges come to passe, vnderstand, that [he] is nye, euen at the doores
[30]UerylyI say vnto you, that this generation shall not passe, tyll all these thynges be done
[31]Heauenand earth shall passe away, but my wordes shall not passe away
[32]Butof that day and tyme knoweth no man: no not the Angels which are in heauen, neither the sonne him selfe, saue the father only
[33]Takeheede, watche and pray: for ye knowe not when the tyme is
[34]Asa man which is gone into a straunge countrey, and hath left his house, and geuen auctoritie to his seruauntes, and to euery man his worke, and commaunded the porter to watche
[35]Watcheye therfore, (for ye knowe not whe the maister of the house wyl come, at euen, or at mydnyght, whether at the cocke crowyng, or in the dawnyng.
[36]Lestyf he come sodenly, he fynde you slepyng
[37]Andthat I say vnto you, I say vnto all, watche
