Matthew 24
1 As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.
And as Jesus went out, and was departing from the temple, his disciples came to observe to Him the magnificent buildings.
2 “Do you see all these things?” He replied. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
But Jesus said unto them, Do ye see all these things? Verily I tell you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be demolished.
3 While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?” (aiōn g165)
And when He was got to the mount of olives, the disciples came to Him in private and said, Tell us when these things shall be, and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world. (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.
And Jesus answered them, See that no one deceive you:
5 For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
for many shall come in my name saying, I am the Christ, and shall deceive many.
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, but be not troubled; for all these must indeed come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in several places:
8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
all which are but the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
Then shall they afflict you, and kill you; and ye shall be hated by all nations for my name:
10 At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,
and then will many take offense, and betray one another, and hate one another: and many false prophets will rise up and deceive many:
11 and many false prophets will arise and mislead many.
and because iniquity shall abound,
12 Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
the love of many will grow cold.
13 But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
But he that endures to the end, shall be saved:
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
and this gospel of the kingdom of heaven shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end come.
15 So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ described by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),
When therefore ye shall see the desolating abomination, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing at the holy place, (let him, that readeth, attend) then let those in Judea flee to the mountains:
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
let not him that is at the top of the house come down into it,
17 Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.
to take any thing out of his house;
18 And let no one in the field return for his cloak.
nor let him that is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!
But wo to them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days.
20 Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.
Pray that your flight be not in the winter, nor on the sabbath:
21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.
for there shall be then great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world unto this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.
And unless those days be shortened, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened.
23 At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
Then if any shall say to you, Behold here is the Messiah, or there; believe it not:
24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
for there shall rise up false Christs, and false prophets, who shall shew great signs and prodigies, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
25 See, I have told you in advance.
Lo, I have told you before-hand: and therefore if they say to you,
26 So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.
Behold, he is in the desert, go not out: behold, he is the secret chambers, believe them not:
27 For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
for as the lightning cometh from the east, and flashes in an instant even to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’
And immediately after the affliction of those days, the fun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give it's light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the land mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming as on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory:
31 And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
and He will send forth his messengers with a trumpet of a loud voice, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.
Now learn a parable from the fig-tree: when it's branch is tender and bringeth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh;
33 So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.
so ye also, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near even at the doors.
34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
Verily I tell you, this generation shall not pass away, till all these be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
But of THAT day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only:
37 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
for as the days of Noah were, so shall be also the coming of the Son of man;
38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.
for as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark,
39 And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
and knew not of it till the deluge came and took them all away; so shall be also the coming of the Son of man.
40 Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.
Then there shall be two in the field, the one shall be taken and the other left:
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
and two women grinding at the mill, one taken and one left.
42 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.
Watch therefore, for ye know not at what hour your Lord cometh:
43 But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
but this ye know, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broke open: therefore be ye also ready;
44 For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
for the Son of man cometh at a time that ye think not of.
45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?
Who then is the faithful and prudent servant, whom his lord hath set over his family to give them food in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so employed:
47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
verily I tell you, that he will set him over his whole estate.
48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’
But if that servant be wicked and say in his heart, my master delayeth his coming,
49 And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.
and begin to beat his fellow-servants, and to revel with drunkards:
50 The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.
the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doth not expect him, and in an hour which he knows not,
51 Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with hypocrites: where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
