Matthew 24
1 And having gone forth Jesus from the temple He was going and came to [Him] the disciples of Him to point out to Him the buildings of the temple.
Jesus had left the Temple and was going on His way, when His disciples came and called His attention to the Temple buildings.
2 And (answering *NO*) (Jesus *k*) He said to them; Not do you see these things all Amen I say to you; certainly not even may be left here stone upon stone which not (indeed *k*) will be thrown down.
"You see all these?" He replied; "in solemn truth I tell you that there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be pulled down."
3 When was sitting now He upon the Mount of Olives came to to Him the disciples in private saying; do tell us when these things will be And what [is] the sign of Your coming and (of the *k*) consummation of the age? (aiōn g165)
Afterwards He was on the Mount of Olives and was seated there when the disciples came to Him, apart from the others, and said, "Tell us when this will be; and what will be the sign of your Coming and of the Close of the Age?" (aiōn g165)
4 And answering Jesus said to them; do take heed lest anyone you may mislead.
"Take care that no one misleads you," answered Jesus;
5 Many for will come in the name of Me saying; I myself am the Christ, and many they will mislead.
"for many will come assuming my name and saying 'I am the Christ;' and they will mislead many.
6 You will begin then to hear of wars and rumors of wars; do behold, not do be alarmed; it is necessary for (all things *k*) to take place but not yet is the end.
And before long you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. Do not be alarmed, for such things must be; but the End is not yet.
7 Will rise up for nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines (and pestilences *K*) and earthquakes in [various] places.
For nation will rise in arms against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places;
8 All then these [are] [the] beginning of birth pains.
but all these miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.
9 Then will they deliver you to tribulation and will kill you; and you will be hated by all the nations on account of the name of Me.
"At that time they will deliver you up to punishment and will put you to death; and you will be objects of hatred to all the nations because you are called by my name.
10 And then will fall away many and one another they will betray and they will hate one another;
Then will many stumble and fall, and they will betray one another and hate one another.
11 and many false prophets will arise and they will mislead many;
Many false prophets will rise up and lead multitudes astray;
12 And because is to be multiplied lawlessness will grow cold the love of the many.
and because of the prevalent disregard of God's law the love of the great majority will grow cold;
13 The [one] however having endured to [the] end, he will be saved.
but those who stand firm to the End shall be saved.
14 And there will be proclaimed this the gospel of the kingdom in all the earth for a testimony to all the nations; and then will come the end.
And this Good News of the Kingdom shall be proclaimed throughout the whole world to set the evidence before all the Gentiles; and then the End will come.
15 When therefore you may see the abomination of desolation’ which having been spoken of through Daniel the prophet (already standing *NK(o)*) in [the] place holy — the [one] reading he should understand —
"When you have seen (to use the language of the Prophet Daniel) the 'Abomination of Desolation', standing in the Holy Place" --let the reader observe those words--
16 then those in Judea they should flee (to *N(k)O*) the mountains,
"then let those who are in Judaea escape to the hills;
17 the [one] on the housetop not (he should come down *N(k)O*) to take (the [things] *N(k)O*) out of the house of him,
let him who is on the roof not go down to fetch what is in his house;
18 and the [one] in the field not he should return back to take (the cloak *N(k)O*) of him.
nor let him who is outside the city stay to pick up his outer garment.
19 Woe then to those in womb [pregnancy] having and to those nursing infants in those the days.
And alas for the women who at that time are with child or have infants!
20 do pray however that not it may happen the flight of you in winter nor (in *k*) on a Sabbath.
"But pray that your flight may not be in winter, nor on the Sabbath;
21 There will be for then tribulation great such as not has been from [the] beginning of [the] world until now no certainly not it may happen.
for it will be a time of great suffering, such as never has been from the beginning of the world till now, and assuredly never will be again.
22 And only unless was shortened the days those, not then would there have been saved any flesh; because of however the elect will be shortened the days those.
And if those days had not been cut short, no one would escape; but for the sake of God's own People those days will be cut short.
23 Then if anyone to you may say; Behold here [is] the Christ or Here, not shall believe [it].
"If at that time any one should say to you, 'See, here is the Christ!' or 'Here!' give no credence to it.
24 There will arise for false Christs and false prophets and they will give signs great and wonders so as (to mislead *NK(o)*) if possible even the elect.
For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, displaying wonderful signs and prodigies, so as to deceive, were it possible, even God's own People.
25 Behold I have foretold [it] to you.
Remember, I have forewarned you.
26 If therefore they shall say to you; Behold in the wilderness He is, not shall go forth; [or] ‘Behold in the inner rooms, not shall believe [it].
If therefore they should say to you, 'See, He is in the Desert!' do not go out there: or 'See, He is indoors in the room!' do not believe it.
27 Just as for the lightning comes forth from [the] east and shines until [the] west, so will be (also *k*) the coming of the Son of Man.
For just as the lightning flashes in the east and is seen to the very west, so will be the Coming of the Son of Man.
28 wherever (for *k*) if shall be the carcass, there will be gathered the vultures.
Wherever the dead body is, there will the vultures flock together.
29 Immediately then after the tribulation of the days of those The sun will be darkened, and the moon not will give the light of it, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’
"But immediately after those times of distress the sun will be darkened, the moon will not shed her light, the stars will fall from the firmament, and the forces which control the heavens will be disordered and disturbed.
30 And then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in (*ko*) heaven; and then will mourn all the tribes of the earth and they will behold the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and glory great.
Then will appear the Sign of the Son of Man in the sky; and then will all the nations of the earth lament, when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with great power and glory.
31 And He will send the angels of Him with a trumpet call (voice *ko*) great, and they will gather together the elect of Him from the four winds, from [the] ends of the heavens until (the *no*) ends of them.
And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet-blast, and they will bring together His own People to Him from north, south, east and west--from one extremity of the world to the other.
32 From now the fig tree do learn the parable: When already the branch of it may become tender and the leaves may it put forth, you know that near [is] the summer.
"Now learn from the fig-tree the lesson it teaches. As soon as its branches have now become soft and it is bursting into leaf, you all know that summer is near.
33 Thus also you yourselves when you may see all these things know that near He is at [the] doors.
So you also, when you see all these signs, may be sure that He is near--at your very door.
34 Amen I say to you (that *no*) certainly not may have passed away generation this until when all these things may happen.
I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place.
35 The heaven and the earth (will pass away, *N(k)O*) but the words of Mine certainly not may pass away.
Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away.
36 Concerning however day that [very] and (*k*) hour no [one] knows not even the angels of the heavens (nor the Son, *NO*) only except the Father (of mine *k*) alone.
"But as to that day and the exact time no one knows--not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
37 As [were] (for *N(k)O*) the days of Noah, so will be (also *k*) the coming of the Son of Man.
'For as it was in the time of Noah, so it will be at the Coming of the Son of Man.
38 (As *N(k)O*) for they were in the days (those *no*) before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and (giving in marriage, *N(k)O*) until that day entered Noah into the ark,
At that time, before the Deluge, men were busy eating and drinking, taking wives or giving them, up to the very day when Noah entered the Ark,
39 And not they knew until came the flood and took away all, thus will be also the coming of the Son of Man.
nor did they realise any danger till the Deluge came and swept them all away; so will it be at the Coming of the Son of Man.
40 Then two will be in the field; (*k*) one is taken and (*k*) one is left.
Then will two men be in the open country: one will be taken away, and one left behind.
41 Two [women] grinding at the (mill; *N(k)O*) one is taken and one is left.
Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken away, and one left behind.
42 do keep watch therefore, for not you know on what (day *N(K)O*) the Lord of you comes.
Be on the alert therefore, for you do not know the day on which your Lord is coming.
43 This then do know, that if [would] had known the master of the house in what time of night the thief comes, he had watched then would and not then would allowed (to be broken into *N(k)O*) the house of him.
But of this be assured, that if the master of the house had known the hour at which the robber was coming, he would have kept awake, and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
44 Because of this also you yourselves do be ready; for in that not you expect hour, the Son of Man comes.
Therefore you also must be ready; for it is at a time when you do not expect Him that the Son of Man will come.
45 Who then is the faithful servant and wise whom has set the master (of him *k*) over the (household *N(K)O*) of him (to give *N(k)O*) to them the food in season?
"Who therefore is the loyal and intelligent servant to whom his master has entrusted the control of his household to give them their rations at the appointed time?
46 Blessed [is] the servant that whom having come the master of him will find thus doing.
Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes shall find so doing!
47 Amen I say to you that over all the possessions of him he will set him.
In solemn truth I tell you that he will give him the management of all his wealth.
48 If however shall say the evil servant that one in the heart of him; Delays My master (to come *k*)
But if the man, being a bad servant, should say in his heart, 'My master is a long time in coming,'
49 and may begin to beat the fellow servants of him, (he may eat *N(k)O*) then and (he may drink *N(k)O*) with those being drunkards,
and should begin to beat his fellow servants, while he eats and drinks with drunkards;
50 will come the master of the servant of that one in a day in which not he does expect and in an hour which not he is aware,
the master of that servant will arrive on a day when he is not expecting him and at an hour of which he has not been informed;
51 and will cut in pieces him and the place of him with the hypocrites will appoint; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
he will treat him with the utmost severity and assign him a place among the hypocrites: there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
