lieveth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak; and I know that his commandment is life everlasting. Whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

The destruction of the temple foretold.

AND Jesus went out, and departed from the temple;

and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily, I say unto you, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, the disciples, Peter and James and John

and Andrew, asked him privately, saying, Master, tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many; and the time draweth near; go ye not therefore after them. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must first come to pass, but the 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; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. All these are the beginning of sorrows. But beware of men; for before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, and they will deliver you up to the councils, and into prisons, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; and

ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake; and it shall turn to you for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say; for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. Settle it therefore in your hearts,

lieveth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

SUPP

UPPOSE ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division. I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they For from henceforth there

of his own household. shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child; and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death; ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but in your patience possess ye your souls. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom: he that endureth to the end shall be saved. And I say unto you, my
