2 The destruction of Ierusalem. 10 The Gospel shalbe prea ched to all. 9 22 The persecutions and false Prophetes which shal be before the cōming of Christ, whose houre is vncerteine. 33 He exhorteth euery one to watch.

1 ANd * as he went out of the Temple, one of* 1.1 his disciples said vnto him, Master, se* 1.2 what stones, and what buyldings (are here.)

2 * Then Iesus answered and said vnto him,* 1.3 Seest thou these great buyldings? there shal not be left one stone vpon a stone, that shal not be throwen downe.

3 And as he sate on the mount of oliues, ouer against the Temple, Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew asked him secretly,

4 Tel vs, when shal these things be? and what (shalbe) the signe when all these things shal∣be fulfilled?* 1.4

5 And Iesus answered them, and began to say,* 1.5 * a 1.6 Take hede lest any man deceiue you.

6 For many shal come in my Name, saying, Ib 1.7 am (Christ,) and shal deceiue many.

7 Furthermore when ye shal heare of warres and rumors of warres, be ye not troubled: for (suche things) must nedes be: but the end (shal) not be yet.

8 For nacion shal rise against nacion, and king dome against kingdome, and there shalbe earth quakes in diuers quarters, and there shalbe famine and troubles: these (are) the be ginnings of sorowes.

9 But take eye hede to your selues: for they shal deliuer you vp to the Councils, and to the Sy nagogues: ye shalbe beaten, and broght be∣fore rulers and Kings for my sake for ac 1.8 te∣stimonial vnto them.* 1.9

10 And the Gospel must first be published a∣mong* 1.10 all nacions.

11 * But when they lead you, and deliuer you vp

take ye nod 1.11 thoght a fore, nether premedi∣tatee 1.12 what ye shal say: but whatsoeuer is gi∣uen you at the same time, that speake: for it is not ye that speake, but the holie Gost.

12 Yea, and the brother shal deliuer the bro∣ther to death, and the father the sonne, and the children shal rise againste their parents, and shal cause them to dye.

13 And ye shalbe hated of all men for my Na∣mes sake: but whosoeuer shal endure vnto the end, he shalbe saued.

14 * Moreouer, when ye shal se the abomina∣cion of desolation (spoken of by * Daniel* 1.13 the Prophet)f 1.14 “ 1.15 standing where it oght not,* 1.16 (let him that readeth, consider it) * then let* 1.17 thē (that be) in Iudea, flee into theg 1.18 moun∣taines,

15 And let him that is vpon the house, not come downe into the house, nether entre therein, to fetch any thing out of his house.

16 And let him that is in the field, not turne backe againe vnto the things which he left behinde him, to take his clothes.

17 Thē wo (shalbe) to thē that are withh 1.19 chil∣de, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes.

18i 1.20 Pray therefore that your flight be not in the winter.

19 For there shalbe in those dayes suche tribu∣lation, as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created vnto this time, nether shalbe.

20 And except that the Lord had shortened those dayes, no“ 1.21 flesh shulde be saued: but for the elects sake, whiche he hathe chosen, he hathe shortened thoses dayes.

21 Then * if any man say to you, Lo, here is* 1.22 Christ, or, lo, (he is) there, beleue it not.* 1.23

22 For false Christs shal rise, and false Prophe∣tes, and shal shewe signes and wonders, to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 if it werek 1.24 possible, the very elect.

23 But take ye hede: beholde, I haue shewed you all thingsl 1.25 before.

24 ¶ Moreouer * in those dayes, after that tri∣bulation the sunne shal waxe darke, and the moone shal not giue her light,

25 And them 1.26 starres of heauen shal fall: and the powers which are in heauen, shal shake.

26 And then shal they se the Sonne of man co∣ming* 1.27 in the cloudes, with great power and* 1.28 glorie.* 1.29

27 * And he shal then send his Angels, and shal* 1.30 gather together his elect from the foure windes, (aud) from the vtmost parte of the earth to the vtmost parte of heauen.

28 Now learne a parable of the sigge tre. Whē her bough is yet tender, & it bringeth forthe leaues, ye knowe that sommer (is) nere.

29 So in like maner, when ye se these things come to passe, knowe that (the kingdome of God) is nere, (euen) at the dores.

30 Verely I say vnto you, that thisn 1.31 generaciō shal not passe, til all these things be done.

31 Heauen and earth shal passe away, but my wordes shal not passe away.

32 But of thato 1.32 day and houre knoweth no mā no, not the Angels which are in heauen, ne∣ther thep 1.33 Sonne him self, saue the Father.

33 * Take hede: watche, & pray: for ye knowe not when the time is.

34 (For the Sonne of man is) as a man going in to a strange countrey, and leaueth his house, and giueth autoritie to his seruants, and to* 1.34 euerie man his worke, and commandeth the porter to watch.

35q 1.35 Watch therefore, (forye knowe not whē the Master of the house wil come, at euen, or at midnight, at the cocke crowing, or in the dauning)

36 Lest if he come suddenly, he shulde finde you sleping.

37 And those things that I say vnto you, I say vnto all men, Watch.
