CHAP. XXIIII.

1 Christ sheweth his disciples the destruction of the Tem ple. 5. 24. The false Christs. 13 To perseuere. 14 The* 1.1 preaching of the Gospel. 6. 29 The signes of the end of the worlde. 42 He warneth them to wake. 44 The sudden comming of Christ.* 1.2

1 ANd * Iesus went out, & departed frō the Temple, and his disciples came to him,

2 And Iesus said vnto them, Se ye not all these things? Verely I say vnto you, * there shal not be here left a stone vpon a stone that shal not be cast downe.

5 And as he sate vpon the mount of Oliues, his disciples came vnto him aparte, saying. TEll vs whē these things shalbe, and what signe (shalbe) of thy comming,b 1.3 and of the end of the worlde.

4 And Iesus answered, and said vnto them *c 1.4 * 1.5 Take hede that no man deceiue you.

3 For manie shal come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and shal deceiue manie.

6 And ye shal heare of warres, and rumors of warres: se that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to passe, but the end is not yet.

7 For nacion shal rise against nacion, and real∣me againste realme, and there shalbe pesti∣lence, and famine, and earth quakes in diuers places.

8 Al these are but thed 1.6 beginning of sorowes.

9 * Then shall they deliuer you vp to be affli∣cted,* 1.7 * 1.8 and shall kill you, and ye shalbee 1.9 hated of all nacions for my Names sake.

10 And then shal manie be offende, & shal be∣tray one another, and shal hate one another.

11 And manie false prophetes shall arise, and shal deceiue manie.

12 And becausef 1.10 iniquitie shalbe increased, the loue of manie shalbe colde.

13 * But he that endureth to the end, he shalbe saued.* 1.11

14 And thys Gospell of the kingdome shalbe* 1.12 * 1.13 preached through the whole worlde for a* 1.14 witnes vnto all nacions, and then shall the ende come.

15 ¶Wheng 1.15 ye* therefore shal se theh 1.16 abomi nation of desolation spoken of by * Daniel the Prophet, standing in the holie place, (let him that readeth consider it.)

16 Then let them which be in Iudea, flee into the mountaines.

17 Let him which is on the house top, not come downe to fetch anie thing out of his house.

18 And he that is in the field, let not him retur∣ne* 1.17 backe to fetch his clothes.

19 And wo (shalbe) to thē that are with childe, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes.

20 But pray that your flight be not in the win∣ter, nether on the * Sabbath (day.)

21 For then shalbe great tribulation, suche as was not from the beginnyng of the worlde to this time, nor shalbe.

22 And except those daies shuldbe shortned, there shulde no“ 1.18 flesh be saued: but for thei 1.19 electes sake those dayes shalbe shortened.* 1.20

23 * Then if anie shal say vnto you, Lo, here is* 1.21 Christ, or there, beleue it not.

24 For there shal arise false Christs, and false prophetes, and shal shewe great signes and wonders, so that if it were possible, they shulde deceiue the verie elect.

25 Beholde, I haue tolde you before.

26 Wherefore if they shal say vnto you, Be∣holde, he is in thek 1.22 desert, go not forthe, Be∣holde, he is in the“ 1.23 secret places, beleue it not

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the East and shineth into the West, so shal also the comming of the Sonne of man be.

28 * For wheresoeuer a deadl 1.24 carkeis is, thi∣ther wil the egles resort.

29 * And immediatly after them 1.25 tribulations of those dayes, shal the sunnen 1.26 be darkened and the moone shal not giue her light, and the starres shal fall frō heauen, & the powers* 1.27 of heauen shalbe shaken.* 1.28

30 And then shal appeare the signe of the Sōne* 1.29 of man in heauen: & then shal all the kinreds* 1.30 of the earth mourne, & they shalse the Sōne* 1.31 of man come in the cloudes of heauen with* 1.32 power and great glorie.

31 * And he shal send his Angels with a great sounde of a trumpet, and they shal gather to∣gether his elect, from the foure windes & frō the one end of the heauen vnto the other.

32 Now learne the parable of the figge tre: whē her bough is yet tender, & it bringeth forthe leaues, ye knowe that sommer (is) nere.* 1.33

33 So likewise ye, when ye se all these things,* 1.34 knowe that the (kingdome of God) is nere,* 1.35 (euen) at the dores.

34 Verely I say vnto you, thiso 1.36 generation shal not passe, til all these things be done.

35 * Heauen and earth shal passe away: but my wordes shal not passe away.

36 But of that day and houre knoweth no mā, no not the Angels of heauen, but my Father onely.

37 But as the dayes of Noe (were,) so likewise* 1.37 shal the comming of the Sonne of man be.* 1.38

38 * For as in the dayes (before) the flood they* 1.39 did eat and drinke, mary, and giue in mariage* 1.40 vnto the day that Noe entred into the Arke,

39 Andp 1.41 knewe nothing, til the flood came & toke them all awaye, so shal also the com∣ming of the Sonne of man be.

40 *q 1.42 Thē two men shalbe in the fields, the one* 1.43 shalbe receiued, & the other shalbe refused.* 1.44

41 Two women shalbe grindring at the mil: the one shalbe receiued, and the other shal∣be refused.

42 * Wake therefore: for ye knowe not what houre your master wil come

43 Of* this be sure, that if the good man of the house knewe at what watche the thief wold* 1.45 come, he wolde surely watche, and not suffre* 1.46 his house to be digged through.* 1.47

44 Therefore be ye also readie: for in the* 1.48 houre that ye thinke not, wil the Sonne of man come.

45 * Who then is a faithful seruant and wise,* 1.49 whome his master hathe made ruler ouer his householde, to giue them meat in season?

46 Blessed (is) that seruant whome his master, when he cometh, shal finde so doing.

47 Verely I say vnto you, he shal make him ruler ouer all his goods.

48 But if that euil seruant shal say in his heart, My master doeth deferre his comming,

49 And begin to smite his felowes, and to eat and to drinke with the drunken,

50 That seruants master wil come in a day, whē he loketh not for him, and in an houre that he is not ware of,

51 And wil“ 1.50 cut him of, and giue him his portiō with hypocrites:* there shalbe weping, and gnasshing of teeth.
