3 As Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives overlooking the Temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him in private,4 “Tell us: when this will happen? What's the sign that all this is about to be fulfilled?”

5 Jesus began telling them, “Make sure no one deceives you.6 Many will come in my name claiming, ‘I am the Christ.’ They will deceive many people.7 Don't be troubled when you hear of wars nearby and wars far away. These things must happen but this is not the end.8 Nation will fight against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines too. These are the beginnings of the world's birth pains.

9 Watch out for yourselves! They will hand you over to the courts to be tried. You will be beaten in synagogues. Because of me you will have to stand before governors and kings, and you will be witnesses to them.

10 The good news must first be announced in every nation.11 When they come to arrest you and put you on trial, don't worry about what to say. Just say what you're told at that time, because it's not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

Mark 13: 3-11
