MATTHEW XXIII.

beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, 28 and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and 39 iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the 30 sepulchres of the righteous, and say; If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with 31 them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be wit

nesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them 32 which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of 33 your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers! how can 34 ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some of them ye shall kill and crucify, and some of them shall ye

MATTHEW XXIV.

1 And Jesus went out, and
departed from the temple;
and his disciples came to
him, for to shew him the
buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them;
See ye not all these things?
verily I
say unto you, there!
shall not be left here one
stone upon another, that
shall not be thrown down.
And as he sat upon
the Mount of Olives, the
disciples came unto him pri-
vately, saying; Tell us, when

And he looked up and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2 And he saw also a certain poor widow, casting in thith3 er two mites, and he said; Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all. 4 For all these have of their

Verily I say unto you, that all these things shall come upon this generation.

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gather38 eth her chickens under her wings! and ye would not. Be39 hold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you; Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Andrew, asked him private4 ly; Tell us, when shall these things be, and what shall be the sign, when all these things shall be ful5 filled? And Jesus answering them, began to say; Take heed lest any man deceive 6 you. For many shall come in my name, saying; I am Christ; and shall deceive 7 many. And when ye shall

shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of 4 the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them; Take heed that no man de5 ceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying; I am Christ; and shall de6 ceive many. And ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars; see that ye be not troubled; for all these things must come to pass; but the 7 end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning 9 of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you; and ye shall be hated of all nations 10 for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended; and shall betray one another, and shall hate one 11 another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall 12 deceive many. And be- 10 cause iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax 13 cold. But he that shall en

dure unto the end, the same 14 shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world. for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end 15 come. When ye there

hear of wars, and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled; for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines, and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves; for they shall deliver you up to councils, and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten, and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings, for my sake, for a testimony. against them. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate; but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the

But when ye shall hear of wars, and commotions, be not terrified; for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not 10 by and by. Then said he unto them ; Nation shall rise against nation, and king11 dom against kingdom; and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights, and great signs shall there be from heaven. But before all these they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. 13 And it shall turn to you for 14 a testimony. Settle it there

fore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye 15 shall answer. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to 16 gainsay or resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause 17 to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men 18 for my name's sake. But there shall not a hair of your

brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men, for my name's sake. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not; (let him that readeth understand ;) then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains; and let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his 16 house; and let him that is

Judea flee into the moun- 13 17 tains; let him which is on the house-top not come down to take the things in his 18 house; neither let him which is in the field return back to 19 take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give 20 suck, in those days! But pray ye, that your flight be not in the winter, neither on 21 the sabbath-day. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall 22 be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved; but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall say unto you; Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall 25 deceive the very elect. Be
