Luke 21:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
The Signs of the End. 7 (A)Then they asked him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?” 8 He answered, “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’[a] Do not follow them!(B) 9 When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end.”
