   Bible Reading for October 12   
      
   Matthew Chapter 24   
      
   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.   
      
   3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him   
   privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall   
   be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?   
      
   4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.   
      
   5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive   
   many.   
      
   6 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 end is not yet.   
      
   7 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 of sorrows.   
      
   9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you:   
   and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.   
      
   10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and   
   shall hate one another.   
      
   11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.   
      
   12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.   
      
   13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.   
      
   14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for   
   a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.   
      
   15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of   
   by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him   
   understand:)   
      
   16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:   
      
   17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out   
   of his house:   
      
   18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.   
      
   19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in   
   those days!   
      
   20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the   
   sabbath day:   
      
   21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the   
   beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.   
      
   22 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 deceive the very elect.   
      
   25 Behold, I have told you before.   
      
   26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go   
   not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.   
      
   27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto   
   the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.   
      
   28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered   
   together.   
      
   29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be   
   darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall   
   fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:   
      
   30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then   
   shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of   
   man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.   
      
   31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and   
   they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end   
   of heaven to the other.   
      
   32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender,   
   and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:   
      
   33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is   
   near, even at the doors.   
      
   34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these   
   things be fulfilled.   
      
   35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.   
      
   36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of   
   heaven, but my Father only.   
      
   37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of   
   man be.   
      
   38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and   
   drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe   
   entered into the ark,   
      
   39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall   
   also the coming of the Son of man be.   
      
   40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other   
   left.   
      
   41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and   
   the other left.   
      
   42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.   
      
   43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what   
   watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have   
   suffered his house to be broken up.   
      
   44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the   
   Son of man cometh.   
      
   45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made   
   ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?   
      
   46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so   
   doing.   
      
   47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.   
      
   48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth   
   his coming;   
      
   49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink   
   with the drunken;   
      
   50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for   
   him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,   
      
   51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the   
   hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.   
      
   Matthew Chapter 25   
      
   1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which   
   took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.   
      
   2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.   
      
   3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:   
      
   4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.   
      
   5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.   
      
   6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;   
   go ye out to meet him.   
      
   7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.   
      
   8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps   
   are gone out.   
      
   9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us   
   and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.   
      
   10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were   
   ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.   
      
   11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.   
      
   12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.   
      
   13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the   
   Son of man cometh.
