| 13:2 | And Iesus aunswered, and sayd vnto hym: Seest thou these greate buyldinges? There shall not be left one stone vpon another, that shall not be throwen doune. |
| 13:3 | And as he sate on mounte Olyuete, ouer agaynst the temple, Peter, & Iames, & Iohn, & Andrewe axed hym secretelye: |
| 13:4 | tell vs, when shall these thynges be? And what is the sygne when all these thynges shalbe fulfylled? |
| 13:5 | and Iesus aunswered them, and began to saye: take hede leste any man deceyue you. |
| 13:6 | For manye shall come in my name, sayinge: I am Christ, and shall deceyue manye. |
| 13:7 | When ye shal heare of warre, and tydynges of warre, be ye not troubled. For suche thynges muste nedes be. But the ende is not yet. |
| 13:8 | For there shall nacyon aryse agaynst nacyon, and kingdom agaynst kyngdome. And there shalbe earthquakes in all quarters, & famyshment and troubles. These are the begynnynge of sorowes. |
| 13:9 | But take ye hede to your selues. For they shall brynge you vp to the counsels, and into the synagoges, & ye shall be beaten: ye & shalbe broughte forthe rulers & kynges for my sake for a testimoniall vnto them. |

| 13:14 | Moreouer, when ye se the abhomynacyon that betokeneth desolacion, whereof is spoken by Daniel the Prophet, stande where it oughte not, let hym that readeth vnderstand, then let them that be in Iurye, fle to the mountaynes. |
| 13:15 | And let hym that is on the house top, not descended doune into the house, neither enter therein, to fetche any thynge oute of hys house. |

| 13:19 | For there shalbe in those dayes such trybulacyon, as was not from the beginning of creatures whiche God created, vnto thys time, neyther shalbe. |
| 13:20 | And except that the Lord shoulde shorten those dayes, no man shoulde be saued. But for the electes sake which he hath chosen, he hath shortened those dayes. |
| 13:21 | And then, yf any man say to you: lo, here is Christ, lo, he is there: beleue not, |
| 13:22 | for false Christes shal ryse, and false prophetes, and shall shewe myracles and wondres, to deceyue yf it were possible, euen the elect. |
| 13:23 | But take ye hede: beholde I haue shewed you all thynges before. |
| 13:24 | Moreouer in those dayes, after that trybulacyon, the sonne shall waxe darke, and the moone shal not geue her light, |
| 13:25 | and the starres of heauen shall fal: and the powers which are in heauen shall moue. |
| 13:26 | And then shall they se the sonne of man comyng in the cloudes with great power and glorye. |

| 13:29 | so in like maner when ye se these thinges come to passe: vnderstande, that it is nye euen at the dores. |
| 13:30 | Verelye I saye vnto you, that thys generacyon shall not passe, tyll all these thynges be done. |
| 13:31 | Heauen and earth shal passe, but my wordes shall not passe. |
| 13:32 | But of the daye & houre knoweth no man: no not the Aungels whiche are in heauen neyther the sonne him selfe saue the father onelye. |
| 13:33 | Take hede, watche and pray, forth ye know not when the tyme is. |

Matthew's Bible 1537
The Matthew Bible, also known as Matthew's Version, was first published in 1537 by John Rogers, under the pseudonym "Thomas Matthew". It combined the New Testament of William Tyndale, and as much of the Old Testament as he had been able to translate before being captured and put to death, with the translations of Myles Coverdale as to the balance of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, except the Apocryphal Prayer of Manasses. It is thus a vital link in the main sequence of English Bible translations.
