Signs of the End of the Age

³ As he sat on ^(A)the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him ^(B)privately, saying, “Tell us, ^(C)when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your ^(D)coming and of ^(E)the end of the age?”

⁴ And Jesus answered them, ^(A)“See that no one leads you astray.

⁵ For ^(A)many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am ^(B)the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.

⁶ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you ^(A)are not alarmed, for this ^(B)must take place, but the end is not yet.

⁷ For ^(A)nation will rise against nation, and ^(B)kingdom against kingdom, and there will be ^(C)famines and earthquakes in various places.

⁸ All these are but the beginning of ^(A)the birth pains.
