7
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign +w will there be|strong=“G3195”+w* when these things shall come to pass?
8
And he said, +w Take heed that|strong=“G0991”+w* +w ye be|strong=“G4105”+w* +w not|strong=“G3361”+w* +w deceived|strong=“G4105”+w*: +w for|strong=“G1063”+w* +w many|strong=“G4183”+w* +w shall come|strong=“G2064”+w* +w in|strong=“G1909”+w* +w my|strong=“G3450”+w* +w name|strong=“G3686”+w*, +w saying|strong=“G3004”+w*, +w I|strong=“G1473”+w* +w am|strong=“G1510”+w* +add Christ+add*; +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w the time|strong=“G2540”+w* +w draweth near|strong=“G1448”+w*: +w go ye|strong=“G4198”+w* +w not|strong=“G3361”+w* +w therefore|strong=“G3767”+w* +w after|strong=“G3694”+w* +w them|strong=“G0846”+w*.
