| 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately,
4 \"Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?\"
5 Jesus said to them: \"Watch out that no one deceives you.
6 Many will come in my name, claiming, \'I am he,\' and will deceive many.
7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
8 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.
