< 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.
Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱεροῦ ἐπορεύετο, καὶ προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπιδεῖξαι αὐτῷ τὰς οἰκοδομὰς τοῦ ἱεροῦ.
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.
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Οὐ βλέπετε ταῦτα πάντα; ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ ἀφεθῇ ὧδε λίθος ἐπὶ λίθον ὃς οὐ καταλυθήσεται.
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 )
Καθημένου δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους τῶν Ἐλαιῶν προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ κατ’ ἰδίαν λέγοντες Εἰπὲ ἡμῖν, πότε ταῦτα ἔσται, καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον τῆς σῆς παρουσίας καὶ συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος; (aiōn )
4 And answering Jesus said to them; do take heed lest anyone you may mislead.
καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Βλέπετε μή τις ὑμᾶς πλανήσῃ.
5 Many for will come in the name of Me saying; I myself am the Christ, and many they will mislead.
πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου λέγοντες Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Χριστός, καὶ πολλοὺς πλανήσουσιν.
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.
μελλήσετε δὲ ἀκούειν πολέμους καὶ ἀκοὰς πολέμων· ὁρᾶτε, μὴ θροεῖσθε· δεῖ γὰρ γενέσθαι, ἀλλ’ οὔπω ἐστὶν τὸ τέλος.
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.
ἐγερθήσεται γὰρ ἔθνος ἐπὶ ἔθνος καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν, καὶ ἔσονται λιμοὶ καὶ σεισμοὶ κατὰ τόπους·
8 All then these [are] [the] beginning of birth pains.
πάντα δὲ ταῦτα ἀρχὴ ὠδίνων.
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.
τότε παραδώσουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς θλῖψιν καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἔσεσθε μισούμενοι ὑπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου.
10 And then will fall away many and one another they will betray and they will hate one another;
καὶ τότε σκανδαλισθήσονται πολλοὶ καὶ ἀλλήλους παραδώσουσιν καὶ μισήσουσιν ἀλλήλους·
11 and many false prophets will arise and they will mislead many;
καὶ πολλοὶ ψευδοπροφῆται ἐγερθήσονται καὶ πλανήσουσιν πολλούς·
12 And because is to be multiplied lawlessness will grow cold the love of the many.
καὶ διὰ τὸ πληθυνθῆναι τὴν ἀνομίαν ψυγήσεται ἡ ἀγάπη τῶν πολλῶν.
13 The [one] however having endured to [the] end, he will be saved.
ὁ δὲ ὑπομείνας εἰς τέλος, οὗτος σωθήσεται.
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.
καὶ κηρυχθήσεται τοῦτο τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς βασιλείας ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ οἰκουμένῃ εἰς μαρτύριον πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, καὶ τότε ἥξει τὸ τέλος.
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 —
Ὅταν οὖν ἴδητε τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Δανιὴλ τοῦ προφήτου ἑστὸς ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ, ὁ ἀναγινώσκων νοείτω,
16 then those in Judea they should flee (to *N(k)O*) the mountains,
τότε οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φευγέτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὄρη,
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,
ὁ ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος μὴ καταβάτω ἆραι τὰ ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ,
18 and the [one] in the field not he should return back to take (the cloak *N(k)O*) of him.
καὶ ὁ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω ὀπίσω ἆραι τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ.
19 Woe then to those in womb [pregnancy] having and to those nursing infants in those the days.
οὐαὶ δὲ ταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις.
20 do pray however that not it may happen the flight of you in winter nor (in *k*) on a Sabbath.
προσεύχεσθε δὲ ἵνα μὴ γένηται ἡ φυγὴ ὑμῶν χειμῶνος μηδὲ σαββάτῳ·
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.
ἔσται γὰρ τότε θλῖψις μεγάλη, οἵα οὐ γέγονεν ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς κόσμου ἕως τοῦ νῦν οὐδ’ οὐ μὴ γένηται.
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.
καὶ εἰ μὴ ἐκολοβώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι, οὐκ ἂν ἐσώθη πᾶσα σάρξ· διὰ δὲ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς κολοβωθήσονται αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι.
23 Then if anyone to you may say; Behold here [is] the Christ or Here, not shall believe [it].
τότε ἐάν τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ Ἰδοὺ ὧδε ὁ Χριστός, ἤ Ὧδε, μὴ πιστεύσητε·
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.
ἐγερθήσονται γὰρ ψευδόχριστοι καὶ ψευδοπροφῆται, καὶ δώσουσιν σημεῖα μεγάλα καὶ τέρατα ὥστε πλανῆσαι, εἰ δυνατὸν, καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτούς.
25 Behold I have foretold [it] to you.
ἰδοὺ προείρηκα ὑμῖν.
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].
ἐὰν οὖν εἴπωσιν ὑμῖν Ἰδοὺ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐστίν, μὴ ἐξέλθητε· Ἰδοὺ ἐν τοῖς ταμείοις, μὴ πιστεύσητε·
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.
ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἐξέρχεται ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ φαίνεται ἕως δυσμῶν, οὕτως ἔσται ἡ παρουσία τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου·
28 wherever (for *k*) if shall be the carcass, there will be gathered the vultures.
ὅπου ἐὰν ᾖ τὸ πτῶμα, ἐκεῖ συναχθήσονται οἱ ἀετοί.
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.’
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 (*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.
καὶ τότε φανήσεται τὸ σημεῖον τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν οὐρανῷ, 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 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.
καὶ ἀποστελεῖ τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ μετὰ σάλπιγγος μεγάλης, καὶ ἐπισυνάξουσιν τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἀνέμων ἀπ’ ἄκρων οὐρανῶν ἕως ἄκρων αὐτῶν.
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.
Ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς συκῆς μάθετε τὴν παραβολήν· ὅταν ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς γένηται ἁπαλὸς καὶ τὰ φύλλα ἐκφύῃ, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος·
33 Thus also you yourselves when you may see all these things know that near He is at [the] doors.
οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ὅταν ἴδητε πάντα ταῦτα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἐπὶ θύραις.
34 Amen I say to you (that *no*) certainly not may have passed away generation this until when all these things may happen.
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη ἕως ἂν πάντα ταῦτα γένηται.
35 The heaven and the earth (will pass away, *N(k)O*) but the words of Mine certainly not may pass away.
ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ παρελεύσεται, οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρέλθωσιν.
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.
Περὶ δὲ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ὥρας οὐδεὶς οἶδεν, οὐδὲ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν οὐδὲ ὁ Υἱός, εἰ μὴ ὁ Πατὴρ μόνος.
37 As [were] (for *N(k)O*) the days of Noah, so will be (also *k*) the coming of the Son of Man.
ὥσπερ γὰρ αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ Νῶε, οὕτως ἔσται ἡ παρουσία τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
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,
ὡς γὰρ ἦσαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ταῖς πρὸ τοῦ κατακλυσμοῦ τρώγοντες καὶ πίνοντες, γαμοῦντες καὶ γαμίζοντες, ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας εἰσῆλθεν Νῶε εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν,
39 And not they knew until came the flood and took away all, thus will be also the coming of the Son of Man.
καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ἕως ἦλθεν ὁ κατακλυσμὸς καὶ ἦρεν ἅπαντας, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ἡ παρουσία τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
40 Then two will be in the field; (*k*) one is taken and (*k*) one is left.
τότε ἔσονται δύο ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, εἷς παραλαμβάνεται καὶ εἷς ἀφίεται·
41 Two [women] grinding at the (mill; *N(k)O*) one is taken and one is left.
δύο ἀλήθουσαι ἐν τῷ μύλῳ, μία παραλαμβάνεται καὶ μία ἀφίεται.
42 do keep watch therefore, for not you know on what (day *N(K)O*) the Lord of you comes.
γρηγορεῖτε οὖν, ὅτι οὐκ οἴδατε ποίᾳ ἡμέρᾳ ὁ κύριος ὑμῶν ἔρχεται.
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.
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 yourselves do be ready; for in that not you expect hour, 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 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?
Τίς ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ πιστὸς δοῦλος καὶ φρόνιμος ὃν κατέστησεν ὁ κύριος ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκετείας αὐτοῦ τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτοῖς τὴν τροφὴν ἐν καιρῷ;
46 Blessed [is] the servant that whom having come the master of him will find thus doing.
μακάριος ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ὃν ἐλθὼν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει οὕτως ποιοῦντα·
47 Amen I say to you that over all the possessions of him he will set him.
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐπὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν αὐτοῦ καταστήσει αὐτόν.
48 If however shall say the evil servant that one in the heart of him; Delays My master (to come *k*)
ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃ ὁ κακὸς δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Χρονίζει μου ὁ κύριος,
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,
καὶ ἄρξηται τύπτειν τοὺς συνδούλους αὐτοῦ, ἐσθίῃ δὲ καὶ πίνῃ μετὰ τῶν μεθυόντων,
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,
ἥξει ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ οὐ προσδοκᾷ καὶ ἐν ὥρᾳ ᾗ οὐ γινώσκει,
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.
καὶ διχοτομήσει αὐτὸν καὶ τὸ μέρος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ὑποκριτῶν θήσει· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.
