33rd Friday after Pentecost

Mark 13:1-8

1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!  2 And Jesus answering said unto him, See thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.  3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?  5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  7 And when you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be you not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.  8 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.
