3As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world?"
4Jesus answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5For many will come in my name, saying, `I am the Christ,` and will lead many astray.
6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren`t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
8But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
9Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name`s sake.
