3 Y sentándose él en el monte de las Olivas, se llegaron á él los discípulos aparte, diciendo: Dinos, ¿cuándo serán estas cosas, y qué señal [habrá] de tu venida, y del fin del mundo?

4 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Mirad que nadie os engañe.

5 Porque vendrán muchos en mi nombre, diciendo: Yo soy el Cristo; y á muchos engañarán.

6 Y oiréis guerras, y rumores de guerras: mirad que no os turbéis; porque es menester que todo [esto] acontezca; mas aún no es el fin.
