As Jesus was leaving the Temple that day, one of his disciples said,“ Teacher, look at these magnificent buildings! Look at the impressive stones in the walls.”

耶稣从殿里出来的时候，有一个门徒对他说：“夫子，请看，这是何等的石头！何等的殿宇！”

耶稣从圣殿里出来的时候，有一个门徒对他说：“老师，请看，这是多么了不起的石头！多么了不起的建筑！”

耶稣从圣殿里出来的时候，有一个门徒对他说：“老师，请看，这是多么了不起的石头！多么了不起的建筑！”

耶稣走出圣殿的时候，有一个门徒对祂说：“老师，你看！这是多么大的石头，多么宏伟的建筑啊！”

耶稣从殿里出来的时候，有一个门徒对他说：“老师，请看，这是多么美好的石头！多么美好的建筑！”

耶稣走出圣殿的时候，他的一个门徒对他说：“老师，你看！多好的石头，多好的建筑啊！”

耶穌從殿裏出來的時候，有一個門徒對他說：「夫子，請看，這是何等的石頭！何等的殿宇！」

耶穌從聖殿裏出來的時候，有一個門徒對他說：「老師，請看，這是多麼了不起的石頭！多麼了不起的建築！」

耶穌從聖殿裏出來的時候，有一個門徒對他說：「老師，請看，這是多麼了不起的石頭！多麼了不起的建築！」

耶穌走出聖殿的時候，有一個門徒對祂說：「老師，你看！這是多麼大的石頭，多麼宏偉的建築啊！」

耶穌從殿裡出來的時候，有一個門徒對他說：“老師，請看，這是多麼美好的石頭！多麼美好的建築！”

耶穌從殿裏出來的時候，他的門徒有一個對他說：『老師請看，何等的石頭，何等的建築啊！』

耶穌走出聖殿的時候，他的一個門徒對他說：「老師，你看！多好的石頭，多好的建築啊！」

耶穌出殿、其徒之一曰、夫子、試觀斯石若何、殿宇若何、

耶穌出殿、有一門徒曰、先生、請觀斯宇斯石、一至於此乎、

耶穌出聖殿、有一門徒謂之曰、請觀此石若何、此殿宇又若何、

As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him,“ Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!”

Jesus was leaving the temple. One of his disciples said to him,“ Look, Teacher! What huge stones! What wonderful buildings!”

And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him,“ Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!”

As he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him,“ Teacher, look! What massive stones! What impressive buildings!”

As He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples* said to Him,“ Teacher, look! What wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!”

Then as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him,“ Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!”

And as he went forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Teacher, behold, what manner of stones and what manner of buildings!

As He was going out of the temple complex, one of His disciples said to Him,“ Teacher, look! What massive stones! What impressive buildings!”

And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings[ are here]!

Now as Jesus was going out of the temple courts, one of his disciples said to him,“ Teacher, look at these tremendous stones and buildings!”

As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him,“ Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings!”

Then the cherubim lifted their wings and rose into the air with their wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel hovered above them.Then the glory of the Lord went up from the city and stopped above the mountain to the east.

Then the glory of the Lord rose up from above the cherubim and went over to the entrance of the Temple. The Temple was filled with this cloud of glory, and the courtyard glowed brightly with the glory of the Lord.

“ Look! I am sending my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. Then the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come to his Temple. The messenger of the covenant, whom you look for so eagerly, is surely coming,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.“ But who will be able to endure it when he comes? Who will be able to stand and face him when he appears? For he will be like a blazing fire that refines metal, or like a strong soap that bleaches clothes.

They were proud of their beautiful jewelry and used it to make detestable idols and vile images. Therefore, I will make all their wealth disgusting to them.I will give it as plunder to foreigners, to the most wicked of nations, and they will defile it.I will turn my eyes from them as these robbers invade and defile my treasured land.

As Jesus was leaving the Temple grounds, his disciples pointed out to him the various Temple buildings.But he responded,“ Do you see all these buildings? I tell you the truth, they will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another!”Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said,“ Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?”Jesus told them,“ Don’t let anyone mislead you,for many will come in my name, claiming,‘ I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many.And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately.Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world.But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.“ Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other.And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people.Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold.But the one who endures to the end will be saved.And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come.“ The day is coming when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about— the sacrilegious object that causes desecration standing in the Holy Place.”( Reader, pay attention!)“ Then those in Judea must flee to the hills.A person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack.A person out in the field must not return even to get a coat.How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days.And pray that your flight will not be in winter or on the Sabbath.For there will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began. And it will never be so great again.In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God’s chosen ones.“ Then if anyone tells you,‘ Look, here is the Messiah,’ or‘ There he is,’ don’t believe it.For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones.See, I have warned you about this ahead of time.“ So if someone tells you,‘ Look, the Messiah is out in the desert,’ don’t bother to go and look. Or,‘ Look, he is hiding here,’ don’t believe it!For as the lightning flashes in the east and shines to the west, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.Just as the gathering of vultures shows there is a carcass nearby, so these signs indicate that the end is near.“ Immediately after the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world— from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.“ Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near, right at the door.I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take place.Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.“ However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.“ When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day.In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat.People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes.“ Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, the other left.Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left.“ So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into.You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.“ A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants and feeding them.If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward.I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of all he owns.But what if the servant is evil and thinks,‘ My master won’t be back for a while,’and he begins beating the other servants, partying, and getting drunk?The master will return unannounced and unexpected,and he will cut the servant to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And as I watched, the cherubim flew with their wheels to the east gate of the Lord’s Temple. And the glory of the God of Israel hovered above them.

“ Son of man,” he said,“ do you see what they are doing? Do you see the detestable sins the people of Israel are committing to drive me from my Temple? But come, and you will see even more detestable sins than these!”

Some of his disciples began talking about the majestic stonework of the Temple and the memorial decorations on the walls. But Jesus said,“ The time is coming when all these things will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another!”“ Teacher,” they asked,“ when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?”He replied,“ Don’t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming,‘ I am the Messiah,’ and saying,‘ The time has come!’ But don’t believe them.And when you hear of wars and insurrections, don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place first, but the end won’t follow immediately.”Then he added,“ Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and plagues in many lands, and there will be terrifying things and great miraculous signs from heaven.“ But before all this occurs, there will be a time of great persecution. You will be dragged into synagogues and prisons, and you will stand trial before kings and governors because you are my followers.But this will be your opportunity to tell them about me.So don’t worry in advance about how to answer the charges against you,for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply or refute you!Even those closest to you— your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends— will betray you. They will even kill some of you.And everyone will hate you because you are my followers.But not a hair of your head will perish!By standing firm, you will win your souls.“ And when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you will know that the time of its destruction has arrived.Then those in Judea must flee to the hills. Those in Jerusalem must get out, and those out in the country should not return to the city.For those will be days of God’s vengeance, and the prophetic words of the Scriptures will be fulfilled.How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days. For there will be disaster in the land and great anger against this people.They will be killed by the sword or sent away as captives to all the nations of the world. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the period of the Gentiles comes to an end.“ And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides.People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken.Then everyone will see the Son of Man coming on a cloud with power and great glory.So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!”Then he gave them this illustration:“ Notice the fig tree, or any other tree.When the leaves come out, you know without being told that summer is near.In the same way, when you see all these things taking place, you can know that the Kingdom of God is near.I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things have taken place.Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.“ Watch out! Don’t let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life. Don’t let that day catch you unaware,like a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth.Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man.”
