24 ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΘΘΑΙΟΝ Matthew Reference
Καθημένου δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ Ὄρους τῶν Ἐλαιῶν προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ κατ' ἰδίαν λέγοντες, Εἰπὲ ἡμῖν πότε ταῦτα ἐσται, καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον τῆς σῆς παρουσίας καὶ συντελε ίας τοῦ αἰῶνος. As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?"The Beginning of the Woes Mt.24.3-14 | Mk.13.3-13 | Lk.21.7-19
καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Βλέπετε μή τις ὑμᾶς πλανήσῃ· And Jesus answered them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray. 
πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου λέγοντες, Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Χριστός, καὶ πολλοὺς πλανήσουσιν. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. 
μελλήσετε δὲ ἀκούειν πολέμους καὶ ἀκοὰς πολέμων· ὁρᾶτε, μὴ θροεῖσθε· δεῖ γὰρ γενέσθαι, ἀλλ' οὐπω ἐστὶν τὸ τέλος. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 
ἐγερθήσεται γὰρ ἐθνος ἐπὶ ἐθνος καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν, καὶ ἐσονται λιμοὶ καὶ σεισμοὶ κατὰ τόπους· For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: 
πάντα δὲ ταῦτα ἀρχὴ ὠδίνων. all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs. 
τότε παραδώσουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς θλῖψιν καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἐσεσθε μισούμενοι ὑπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν διὰ τὸ ὀνομά μου. "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and put you to death; and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 
καὶ τότε σκανδαλισθήσονται πολλοὶ καὶ ἀλλήλους παραδώσουσιν καὶ μισήσουσιν ἀλλήλους· And then many will fall away, and betray one another, and hate one another. 
καὶ πολλοὶ ψευδοπροφῆται ἐγερθήσονται καὶ πλανήσουσιν πολλούς· And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 
καὶ διὰ τὸ πληθυνθῆναι τὴν ἀνομίαν ψυγήσεται ἡ ἀγάπη τῶν πολλῶν. And because wickedness is multiplied, most men's love will grow cold. 
ὁ δὲ ὑπομείνας εἰς τέλος οὗτος σωθήσεται. But he who endures to the end will be saved. 
καὶ κηρυχθήσεται τοῦτο τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς βασιλείας ἐν ὁλῃ τῇ οἰκουμένῃ εἰς μαρτύριον πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐθνεσιν, καὶ τότε ἡξει τὸ τέλος. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.
