Luke 21:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”

⁸ Jesus replied, “Keep watch! Be careful that you are not fooled. Many will come in my name. They will claim, ‘I am he!’ And they will say, ‘The time is near!’ Do not follow them. ⁹ Do not be afraid when you hear about wars and about fighting against rulers. Those things must happen first. But the end will not come right away.”
