And Jesus cried and said, “He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.  And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me.  I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.  And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not:  for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.  He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him:  the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.  For I spake not from myself; but the Father that sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.  And I know that his commandment is life eternal; the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak.”

DISCOURSE CONCERNING THE FUTURE.

And Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way; and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.

But he answered and said unto them, “See ye not all these things?  Verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”

And as he sat on the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, “Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished?”

And Jesus began to say unto them, “Take heed that no man lead you astray.  Many shall come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and shall lead many astray.  And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled:  these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet.  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be earthquakes in divers places; there shall be famines:  these things are the beginning of the travail.

“But take ye heed to yourselves:  for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them.  And the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations.  And when they lead you to judgment, and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak; but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.  But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends:  and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.

“And then shall many stumble, and shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.  And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray.  And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold.  But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

“But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.  Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains:  let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house:  and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak.  For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
