Matthew 24:3-8
Wycliffe Bible
3 And when he sat on the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privily, and said [saying], Say to us, when these things shall be, and what token of thy coming, and of the ending of the world.
4 And Jesus answered, and said to them, Look ye [See ye], that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, and shall say, I am Christ [For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ]; and they shall deceive many.
6 For ye shall hear battles, and opinions of battles; see ye that ye be not disturbed [see ye, that ye be not distroubled]; for it behooveth these things to be done, but not yet is the end.
7 For folk shall rise together against folk, and realm against realm, and pestilences, and hungers, and earth-movings shall be by places;
8 and all these be beginnings of sorrows.

New Matthew Bible
3 And as he sat on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us when these things will be, and what sign will be of your coming, and of the end of the world.
4 And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ! and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and of the infamy of wars. But see that you be not troubled. For all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and realm against realm. And there will be pestilence, hunger, and earthquakes in all quarters. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
