And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what signe wil there be, when these things shall come to passe?

And he said, Take heede that yee be not deceiued: for many shall come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and the time draweth neere: goe yee not therefore after them.

But when ye shall heare of wars, and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to passe, but the end is not by and by.

Then said he vnto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdome against kingdome:

And great earthquakes shall be in diuers places, and famines, and pestilences: and fearefull sights and great signes shall there be from heauen.

But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, deliuering you vp to the Synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before Kings and rulers for my Names sake.

And it shall turne to you for a testimony.

Settle it therfore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answere.

For I will giue you a mouth and wisedome, which all your aduersaries shall not be able to gainsay, nor resist.

And yee shall be betrayed both by parents and brethren, and kinsefolkes and friends, and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

And ye shalbe hated of all men for my Names sake.

But there shall not a haire of your head perish.

In your patience possesse ye your soules.
