Mark 13:3-8
New Living Translation
3 Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives across the valley from the Temple. Peter, James, John, and Andrew came to him privately and asked him, 4 “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to be fulfilled?”
5 Jesus replied, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, 6 for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’[a] They will deceive many. 7 And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. 8 Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in many parts of the world, as well as famines. But this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.

Signs of the End of the Age
3 And as he sat on (A)the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, (B)Peter and James and John and (C)Andrew asked him (D)privately, 4 “Tell us, (E)when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?” 5 And Jesus began to say to them, (F)“See that no one leads you astray. 6 (G)Many will come in my name, saying, (H)‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. 7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, (I)do not be alarmed. This (J)must take place, but the end is not yet. 8 For (K)nation will rise against nation, and (L)kingdom against kingdom. There will be (M)earthquakes in various places; there will be (N)famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.
