Matthew 24

1 And Yahushua went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

And Jesus passed out of the temple to go away: and his disciples came to him, showing him the structure of the temple.

2 And Yahushua said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

And he said to them: See ye not all these? Verily I say to you, There will not be left here a stone upon a stone, that is not demolished.

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (aiōn g165)

And as Jesus sat on the mount of Olives, his disciples came, and said between themselves and him: Tell us when these things are to be; and what will be the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the world. (aiōn g165)

4 And Yahushua answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

Jesus answered and said to them: Take heed, that no one deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive many.

For many will come in my name, and will say, I am the Messiah: and they will deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

And ye are to hear of conflicts, and the rumor of battles. See that ye be not disquieted: for all these things must come; but the consummation is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

But all these are only the commencement of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

And they will deliver you up to tribulation, and will kill you: and ye will be hated by all nations, on account of my name.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

And many false prophets will rise up; and they will deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

And on account of the abounding of iniquity, the love of many will decline.

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

But he that shall persevere to the end, will have life.

And this announcement of the kingdom shall be published in all the world, for a testimony to all nations: and then will come the consummation.

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand: )

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

and then let them who are in Judaea, flee to the mountain:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

and let him who is on the roof, not come down to take what is in his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

For there will then be great distress, such as hath not been from the commencement of the world, until now, and will not be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

And unless those days should be cut short, no flesh would remain alive. But, for the elect's sake, those days will be cut short.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Messiah, or there; believe it not.

Then, if any one shall say to you, Lo, the Messiah is here, or is there; give no credence.

24 For there shall arise false messiahs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

For there will arise false Messiahs, and mendacious prophets; who will exhibit great signs, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

Behold, I have told you beforehand.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not out: or, Behold, he is in a secret chamber; give no credence.

For as, before the flood, they were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving to husbands, up to the day that Noah entered the ark,

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your master doth come.

Watch, therefore, since ye know not at what hour your Lord cometh.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

But know this, that if the lord of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have been awake, and would not have suffered his house to be broken into.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Therefore, be ye also ready; for at an hour ye do not expect, the Son of man will come.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his master when he cometh shall find so doing.

Happy is that servant, whom, when his lord shall come, he will find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

Verily I say to you, He will place him over all that he hath.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My master delayeth his coming;

But if that servant, being wicked, shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
