6 And you are going to hear about wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation will rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in

9 “Then they will hand you over to persecution and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations
10 And then many will be led into sin and will betray one another and will hate one another,
11 and many false prophets will appear and will deceive many,
12 and because lawlessness will increase, the love of many will grow cold.
13 But the one who endures to the end—this person will be saved.

19 And woe to those
20 But pray that your flight may not happen in winter or on a Sabbath.
21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will happen.
22 And unless those days had been shortened,

41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left.

47 Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
