Matthew 24
1 And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and His disciples came near to show Him the buildings of the temple,
Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ⸂ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱεροῦ ἐπορεύετο, καὶ προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπιδεῖξαι αὐτῷ τὰς οἰκοδομὰς τοῦ ἱεροῦ·
2 and Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these? Truly I say to you, there may not be left here a stone on a stone that will not be thrown down.”
ὁ δὲ ⸀ἀποκριθεὶςεἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Οὐ βλέπετε ⸂ταῦτα πάντα; ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ ἀφεθῇ ὧδε λίθος ἐπὶ λίθον ὃς οὐ καταλυθήσεται.
3 And when He is sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came near to Him by Himself, saying, “Tell us, when will these be? And what [is] the sign of Your coming, and of the full end of the age?” (aiōn g165)
Καθημένου δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ Ὄρους τῶν Ἐλαιῶν προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ κατʼ ἰδίαν λέγοντες· Εἰπὸν ἡμῖν πότε ταῦτα ἔσται, καὶτί τὸ σημεῖον τῆς σῆς παρουσίας ⸀καὶ συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος. (aiōn g165)
4 And Jesus answering said to them, “Take heed that no one may lead you astray,
καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Βλέπετε μή τις ὑμᾶς πλανήσῃ·
5 for many will come in My Name, saying, I am the Christ, and they will lead many astray,
πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου λέγοντες· Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ χριστός, καὶ πολλοὺς πλανήσουσιν.
6 and you will begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, do not be troubled, for it is necessary for all [these] to come to pass, but the end is not yet.
μελλήσετε δὲ ἀκούειν πολέμους καὶ ἀκοὰς πολέμων· ὁρᾶτε, μὴ θροεῖσθε· δεῖ ⸀γὰργενέσθαι, ἀλλʼ οὔπω ἐστὶν τὸ τέλος.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in various places;
ἐγερθήσεται γὰρ ἔθνος ἐπὶ ἔθνος καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν, καὶ ἔσονται ⸀λιμοὶκαὶ σεισμοὶ κατὰ τόπους·
8 and all these [are the] beginning of travails;
πάντα δὲ ταῦτα ἀρχὴ ὠδίνων.
9 then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of My Name;
Τότε παραδώσουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς θλῖψιν καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἔσεσθε μισούμενοι ὑπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου.
10 and then will many be stumbled, and they will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
καὶ τότε σκανδαλισθήσονται πολλοὶ καὶ ἀλλήλους παραδώσουσιν καὶ μισήσουσιν ἀλλήλους·
11 And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray;
καὶ πολλοὶ ψευδοπροφῆται ἐγερθήσονται καὶ πλανήσουσιν πολλούς·
12 and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many will become cold;
καὶ διὰ τὸ πληθυνθῆναι τὴν ἀνομίαν ψυγήσεται ἡ ἀγάπη τῶν πολλῶν.
13 but he who endured to the end, he will be saved;
ὁ δὲ ὑπομείνας εἰς τέλος οὗτος σωθήσεται.
14 and this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations, and then will the end arrive.
καὶ κηρυχθήσεται τοῦτο τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς βασιλείας ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ οἰκουμένῃ εἰς μαρτύριον πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, καὶ τότε ἥξει τὸ τέλος.
15 Whenever, therefore, you may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe)
Ὅταν οὖν ἴδητε τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Δανιὴλ τοῦ προφήτου ⸀ἑστὸςἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ, ὁ ἀναγινώσκων νοείτω,
16 then those in Judea—let them flee to the mountains;
τότε οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φευγέτωσαν ⸀ἐπὶτὰ ὄρη,
17 he on the housetop—do not let him come down to take up anything out of his house;
ὁ ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος μὴ ⸀καταβάτωἆραι τὰ ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ,
18 and he in the field—do not let him turn back to take his garments.
καὶ ὁ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω ὀπίσω ἆραι ⸂τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ.
19 And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck in those days;
οὐαὶ δὲ ταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις.
20 and pray that your flight may not be in winter, nor on a Sabbath;
προσεύχεσθε δὲ ἵνα μὴ γένηται ἡ φυγὴ ὑμῶν χειμῶνος μηδὲ σαββάτῳ·
21 for there will then be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor may be.
ἔσται γὰρ τότε θλῖψις μεγάλη οἵα οὐ γέγονεν ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς κόσμου ἕως τοῦ νῦν οὐδʼ οὐ μὴ γένηται.
22 And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen will those days be shortened.
καὶ εἰ μὴ ἐκολοβώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι, οὐκ ἂν ἐσώθη πᾶσα σάρξ· διὰ δὲ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς κολοβωθήσονται αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι.
23 Then if anyone may say to you, Behold, here [is] the Christ! Or, Here! You may not believe;
τότε ἐάν τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ· Ἰδοὺ ὧδε ὁ χριστός, ἤ· Ὧδε, μὴ πιστεύσητε·
24 for there will arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they will give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.
ἐγερθήσονται γὰρ ψευδόχριστοι καὶ ψευδοπροφῆται, καὶ δώσουσιν σημεῖα μεγάλα καὶ τέρατα ὥστε ⸀πλανῆσαιεἰ δυνατὸν καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτούς·
25 Behold, I told you beforehand.
ἰδοὺ προείρηκα ὑμῖν.
26 If therefore they may say to you, Behold, He is in the wilderness, you may not go forth; Behold, in the inner chambers, you may not believe;
ἐὰν οὖν εἴπωσιν ὑμῖν· Ἰδοὺ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐστίν, μὴ ἐξέλθητε· Ἰδοὺ ἐν τοῖς ταμείοις, μὴ πιστεύσητε·
27 for as the lightning comes forth from the east, and appears to the west, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man;
ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἐξέρχεται ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ φαίνεται ἕως δυσμῶν, οὕτως ⸀ἔσταιἡ παρουσία τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου·
28 for wherever the carcass may be, there the eagles will be gathered together.
⸀ὅπουἐὰν ᾖ τὸ πτῶμα, ἐκεῖ συναχθήσονται οἱ ἀετοί.
29 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
Εὐθέως δὲ μετὰ τὴν θλῖψιν τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων ὁ ἥλιος σκοτισθήσεται, καὶ ἡ σελήνη οὐ δώσει τὸ φέγγος αὐτῆς, καὶ οἱ ἀστέρες πεσοῦνται ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται.
30 and then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in the sky; and then will all the tribes of the earth strike the breast, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of Heaven, with power and much glory;
καὶ τότε φανήσεται τὸ σημεῖον τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν ⸀τῷοὐρανῷ, καὶ τότε κόψονται πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὄψονται τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς·
31 and He will send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens to the ends thereof.
καὶ ἀποστελεῖ τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ μετὰ ⸀σάλπιγγοςμεγάλης, καὶ ἐπισυνάξουσιν τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶντεσσάρων ἀνέμων ἀπʼ ἄκρων οὐρανῶν ἕως ⸀τῶν ἄκρων αὐτῶν.
32 And from the fig tree learn the allegory: when its branch may have already become tender, and it may put forth the leaves, you know that summer [is] near,
Ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς συκῆς μάθετε τὴν παραβολήν· ὅταν ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς γένηται ἁπαλὸς καὶ τὰ φύλλα ἐκφύῃ, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος·
33 so also you, when you may see all these, you know that it is near—at the doors.
οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ἴδητε ⸂πάντα ταῦτα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἐπὶ θύραις.
34 Truly I say to you, this generation may not pass away until all these may come to pass.
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ⸀ὅτιοὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη ἕως ἂν πάντα ταῦτα γένηται.
35 The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ ⸀παρελεύσεται οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρέλθωσιν.
36 And concerning that day and the hour no one has known—not even the messengers of the heavens—except My Father only;
Περὶ δὲ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ὥρας οὐδεὶς οἶδεν, οὐδὲ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν ⸂οὐδὲ ὁ υἱός, εἰ μὴ ὁ ⸀πατὴρμόνος.
37 and as the days of Noah—so will also be the coming of the Son of Man;
ὥσπερ ⸀γὰραἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ Νῶε, οὕτως ⸀ἔσταιἡ παρουσία τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου·
38 for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the Ark,
⸀ὡςγὰρ ἦσαν ἐν ταῖς ⸀ἡμέραιςταῖς πρὸ τοῦ κατακλυσμοῦ τρώγοντες καὶ πίνοντες, γαμοῦντες καὶ ⸀γαμίζοντες ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας εἰσῆλθεν Νῶε εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν,
39 and they did not know until the flood came and took all away, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man.
καὶοὐκ ἔγνωσαν ἕως ἦλθεν ὁ κατακλυσμὸς καὶ ἦρεν ἅπαντας, οὕτως ἔσται ⸀καὶ ἡ παρουσία τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
40 Then two [men] will be in the field: one is received, and one is left;
τότε ⸂δύο ἔσονται ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, ⸀εἷςπαραλαμβάνεται καὶ ⸁εἷςἀφίεται·
41 two [women] will be grinding in the mill: one is received, and one is left.
δύο ἀλήθουσαι ἐν τῷ ⸀μύλῳ μία παραλαμβάνεται καὶ μία ἀφίεται.
42 Watch therefore, because you have not known in what hour your Lord comes;
γρηγορεῖτε οὖν, ὅτι οὐκ οἴδατε ποίᾳ ⸀ἡμέρᾳὁ κύριος ὑμῶν ἔρχεται.
43 and know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief comes, he had watched, and did not permit his house to be broken through;
ἐκεῖνο δὲ γινώσκετε ὅτι εἰ ᾔδει ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης ποίᾳ φυλακῇ ὁ κλέπτης ἔρχεται, ἐγρηγόρησεν ἂν καὶ οὐκ ἂν εἴασεν διορυχθῆναι τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ.
44 because of this also you, become ready, because in what hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.
διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ὑμεῖς γίνεσθε ἕτοιμοι, ὅτι ᾗ ⸂οὐ δοκεῖτε ὥρᾳ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται.
45 Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?
Τίς ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ πιστὸς δοῦλος καὶ φρόνιμος ὃν κατέστησεν ὁ ⸀κύριοςἐπὶ τῆς ⸀οἰκετείαςαὐτοῦ τοῦ ⸀δοῦναιαὐτοῖς τὴν τροφὴν ἐν καιρῷ;
46 Blessed that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;
μακάριος ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ὃν ἐλθὼν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει ⸂οὕτως ποιοῦντα·
47 truly I say to you that he will set him over all his substance.
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐπὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν αὐτοῦ καταστήσει αὐτόν.
48 And if that evil servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come,
ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃ ὁ κακὸς δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ· Χρονίζει ⸂μου ὁ κύριος,
49 and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken,
καὶ ἄρξηται τύπτειν τοὺς συνδούλους ⸂αὐτοῦ, ἐσθίῃ δὲ καὶ πίνῃ⸃ μετὰ τῶν μεθυόντων,
50 the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he does not expect, and in an hour of which he does not know,
ἥξει ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ οὐ προσδοκᾷ καὶ ἐν ὥρᾳ ᾗ οὐ γινώσκει,
51 and will cut him off, and will appoint his portion with the hypocrites; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.”
καὶ διχοτομήσει αὐτὸν καὶ τὸ μέρος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ὑποκριτῶν θήσει· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.
