¹ 耶稣出了圣殿，正走的时候，门徒进前来，把殿宇指给他看。

² 耶稣对他们说：你们不是看见这殿宇麽？我实在告诉你们，将来在这里没有一块石头留在石头上，不被拆毁了。

³ 耶稣在橄榄山上坐着，门徒暗暗的来说：请告诉我们，甚麽时候有这些事？你降临和世界的末了有甚麽豫兆呢？

⁴ 耶稣回答说：你们要谨慎，免得有人迷惑你们。

⁵ 因为将来有好些人冒我的名来，说：我是基督，并且要迷惑许多人。

⁶ 你们也要听见打仗和打仗的风声，总不要惊慌；因为这些事是必须有的，只是末期还没有到。

⁷ 民要攻打民，国要攻打国；多处必有饥荒、地震。

⁸ 这都是灾难（灾难：原文是生产之难）的起头。

⁹ 那时，人要把你们陷在患难里，也要杀害你们；你们又要为我的名被万民恨恶。

¹⁰ 那时，必有许多人跌倒，也要彼此陷害，彼此恨恶；

¹¹ 且有好些假先知起来，迷惑多人。

¹² 只因不法的事增多，许多人的爱心才渐渐冷淡了。

¹³ 惟有忍耐到底的，必然得救。

¹⁴ 这天国的福音要传遍天下，对万民作见证，然後末期才来到。

¹⁵ 你们看见先知但以理所说的那行毁坏可憎的站在圣地（读这经的人须要会意）。

¹⁶ 那时，在犹太的，应当逃到山上；

¹⁷ 在房上的，不要下来拿家里的东西；

¹⁸ 在田里的，也不要回去取衣裳。

¹⁹ 当那些日子，怀孕的和奶孩子的有祸了。

²⁰ 你们应当祈求，叫你们逃走的时候，不遇见冬天或是安息日。

²¹ 因为那时必有大灾难，从世界的起头直到如今，没有这样的灾难，後来也必没有。

²² 若不减少那日子，凡有血气的总没有一个得救的；只是为选民，那日子必减少了。

²³ 那时，若有人对你们说：基督在这里，或说：基督在那里，你们不要信！

²⁴ 因为假基督、假先知将要起来，显大神迹、大奇事，倘若能行，连选民也就迷惑了。

²⁵ 看哪，我预先告诉你们了。

²⁶ 若有人对你们说：看哪，基督在旷野里，你们不要出去！或说：看哪，基督在内屋中，你们不要信！

²⁷ 闪电从东边发出，直照到西边。人子降临，也要这样。

²⁸ 尸首在那里，鹰也必聚在那里。

²⁹ 那些日子的灾难一过去，日头就变黑了，月亮也不放光，众星要从天上坠落，天势都要震动。

³⁰ 那时，人子的兆头要显在天上，地上的万族都要哀哭。他们要看见人子，有能力，有大荣耀.，驾着天上的云降临。

³¹ 他要差遣使者，用号筒的大声，将他的选民，从四方（方：原文是风），从天这边到天那边，都招聚了来。

³² 你们可以从无花果树学个比方：当树枝发嫩长叶的时候，你们就知道夏天近了。

³³ 这样，你们看见这一切的事，也该知道人子近了，正在门口了。

³⁴ 我实在告诉你们，这世代还没有过去，这些事都要成就。

³⁵ 天地要废去，我的话却不能废去。

³⁶ 那日子，那时辰，没有人知道，连天上的使者也不知道，子也不知道，惟独父知道。

³⁷ 挪亚的日子怎样，人子降临也要怎样。

³⁸ 当洪水以前的日子，人照常吃喝嫁娶，直到挪亚进方舟的那日；

³⁹ 不知不觉洪水来了，把他们全都冲去。人子降临也要这样。

⁴⁰ 那时，两个人在田里，取去一个，撇下一个。

⁴¹ 两个女人推磨，取去一个，撇下一个。

⁴² 所以，你们要儆醒，因为不知道你们的主是那一天来到。

⁴³ 家主若知道几更天有贼来，就必儆醒，不容人挖透房屋；这是你们所知道的。

⁴⁴ 所以，你们也要预备，因为你们想不到的时候，人子就来了。

⁴⁵ 谁是忠心有见识的仆人，为主人所派，管理家里的人，按时分粮给他们呢？

⁴⁶ 主人来到，看见他这样行，那仆人就有福了。

⁴⁷ 我实在告诉你们，主人要派他管理一切所有的。

⁴⁸ 倘若那恶仆心里说：我的主人必来得迟，

⁴⁹ 就动手打他的同伴，又和酒醉的人一同吃喝。

⁵⁰ 在想不到的日子，不知道的时辰，那仆人的主人要来，

⁵¹ 重重的处治他（或作：把他腰斩了），定他和假冒为善的人同罪；在那里必要哀哭切齿了。

¹ God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother."

² Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, change your garments.

³ Let us arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went."

⁴ They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

⁵ They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn't pursue the sons of Jacob.

⁶ So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

⁷ He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

⁸ Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.

⁹ God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

¹⁰ God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel." He named him Israel.

¹¹ God said to him, "I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.

¹² The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your seed after you will I give the land."

¹³ God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.

¹⁴ Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

¹⁵ Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him "Bethel."

¹⁶ They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.

¹⁷ When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, "Don't be afraid, for now you will have another son."

¹⁸ It happened, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.

¹⁹ Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem).

²⁰ Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.

²¹ Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

²² It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

²³ The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

²⁴ The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

²⁵ The sons of Bilhah (Rachel's handmaid): Dan and Naphtali.

²⁶ The sons of Zilpah (Leah's handmaid): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

²⁷ Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.

²⁸ The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

²⁹ Isaac gave up the spirit, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
