1After Jesus left the temple, his disciples came over and said, “Look at all these buildings!”
2Jesus replied, “Do you see these buildings? They will certainly be torn down! Not one stone will be left in place.”
Warning about trouble(Mark 13.3-13; Luke 21.7-19)3Later, as Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him in private and asked, “When will this happen? What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?”
4Jesus answered:
Don't let anyone fool you.
5Many will come and claim to be me. They will say that they are the Messiah, and they will fool many people.
6You will soon hear about wars and threats of wars, but don't be afraid. These things will have to happen first, but that isn't the end.
7Nations and kingdoms will go to war against each other. People will starve to death, and in some places there will be earthquakes.
8But this is just the beginning of troubles.
9You will be arrested, punished, and even killed. Because of me, you will be hated by people of all nations. of your house, don't go inside to get anything.
21This will be the worst time of suffering since the beginning of the world, and nothing this terrible will ever happen again.When the Son of Man appears(Mark 13.24-27; Luke 21.25-28)Jesus continued:
29Straight after those days of suffering,
“The sun will become dark,
and the moon
will no longer shine.
The stars will fall,
and the powers in the sky
will be shaken.”
30Then a sign will appear in the sky. And there will be the Son of Man. All nations on earth will weep when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
34I can promise you that some of the people of this generation will still be alive when all this happens.
35The sky and the earth won't last for ever, but my words will.
No one knows the day or time(Mark 13.32-37; Luke 17.26-30,34-36)Jesus continued:36No one knows the day or hour. The angels in heaven don't know, and the Son himself doesn't know. Only the Father knows.
37When the Son of Man appears, things will be just as they were when Noah lived.
40Two men will be in the same field, but only one will be taken. The other will be left.
41Two women will be together grinding grain, but only one will be taken. The other will be left.
42So be on your guard! You don't know when your Lord will come.
43Homeowners never know when a thief is coming, and they are always on guard to keep one from breaking in.Lk 12.39,40.
44Always be ready! You don't know when the Son of Man will come.
Faithful and unfaithful servants(Luke 12.35-48)Jesus continued:45Who are faithful and wise servants? Who are the ones the master will put in charge of giving the other servants their food supplies at the proper time?
46Servants are fortunate if their master comes and finds them doing their job.
47You may be sure that a servant who is always faithful will be put in charge of everything the master owns.
48But suppose one of the servants thinks that the master won't return until late.
49Suppose that evil servant starts beating the other servants and eats and drinks with people who are drunk.
50If that happens, the master will come on a day and at a time when the servant least expects him.
51That servant will then be punished and thrown out with the ones who only pretended to serve their master. There they will cry and grit their teeth in pain.
