Mace(i)
3 And when he was upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him in private, and said, tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of this age?
4 Jesus answered them, take care not to be deceived by any one:
5 for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ: and shall deceive many.
6 ye shall hear likewise of wars, and rumours of wars: take care not to be disturb'd: for these things must happen, but the end of the Jewish age is not yet.
7 for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.
8 yet all this is but the beginning of sorrow.
9 then shall they deliver you up to torments, and to death: and ye shall be hated by all nations upon my account.
10 then shall many relapse, and shall pursue one another with mutual treachery and hatred.
11 many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 and as iniquity becomes more flagrant, the zeal of many will grow cool.
13 but he that shall persevere unto the end, shall be preserved.
14 and this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, to testify to all nations, that the end will then come.
