Matthew 24
1 And Jesus departed from the temple and went away. And his disciples approached him, so as to show him the buildings of the temple.
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to [him] to show him the buildings of the temple.
2 But he said to them in response: “Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, there shall not remain here stone upon stone, which is not torn down.”
And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these things? verily I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 Then, when he was seated at the Mount of Olives, the disciples drew near to him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your advent and of the consummation of the age?” (aiōn g165)
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? and what [will be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (aiōn g165)
4 And answering, Jesus said to them: “Pay attention, lest someone lead you astray.
And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many will come in my name saying, ‘I am the Christ.’ And they will lead many astray.
For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and will deceive many.
6 For you will hear of battles and rumors of battles. Take care not to be disturbed. For these things must be, but the end is not so soon.
And ye will hear of wars, and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.
8 But all these things are just the beginning of the sorrows.
All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then they will hand you over to tribulation, and they will kill you. And you will be hated by all nations for the sake of my name.
Then will they deliver you up to be afflicted, and will kill you: and ye will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then many will be led into sin, and will betray one another, and will have hatred for one another.
And then will many be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 And many false prophets will arise, and they will lead many astray.
And many false prophets will rise, and will deceive many.
12 And because iniquity has abounded, the charity of many will grow cold.
And because iniquity will abound, the love of many will become cold.
13 But whoever will have persevered until the end, the same shall be saved.
But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached throughout the entire world, as a testimony to all nations. And then the consummation will occur.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 Therefore, when you will have seen the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place, may he who reads understand,
When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever readeth, let him understand, )
16 then those who are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains.
Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains:
17 And whoever is on the roof, let him not descend to take anything from his house.
Let him who is on the house-top not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 And whoever is in the field, let him not turn back to take his tunic.
Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 So then, woe to those who are pregnant or nursing in those days.
And woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days!
20 But pray that your flight may not be in winter, or on the Sabbath.
But pray ye that your flight may not be in the winter, neither on the sabbath:
21 For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until the present, and such as will not be.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days shall be shortened.
And except those days should be shortened, there would no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if anyone will have said to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘he is there,’ do not be willing to believe it.
Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
24 For there will arise false Christs and false prophets. And they will produce great signs and wonders, so much so as to lead into error even the elect (if this could be).
For false Christs will arise, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders; so that, if [it were] possible, they would deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have warned you beforehand.
Behold, I have told you before.
26 Therefore, if they will have said to you, ‘Behold, he is in the desert,’ do not choose to go out, or, ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not be willing to believe it.
Wherefore, if they shall say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
27 For just as lightning goes out from the east, and appears even in the west, so shall it be also at the advent of the Son of man.
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 Wherever the body shall be, there also will the eagles be gathered together.
For wherever the carcass is, there will the eagles be collected.
29 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then the sign of the Son of man shall appear in heaven. And then all tribes of the earth shall mourn. And they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with great power and majesty.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send out his Angels with a trumpet and a great voice. And they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the heights of the heavens, even to their furthest limits.
And he will send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 So, from the fig tree learn a parable. When its branch has now become tender and the leaves have sprung forth, you know that summer is near.
Now learn a parable of the fig-tree; When its branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:
33 So also, when you will have seen all these things, know that it is near, even at the threshold.
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even at] the doors.
34 Amen I say to you, that this lineage shall not pass away, until all these things have been done.
Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things shall be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But concerning that day and hour, no one knows, not even the Angels of the heavens, but only the Father.
But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 And just as in the days of Noah, so also will be the advent of the Son of man.
But as the days of Noah [were], so will also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For it will be just as it was in the days before the flood: eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, even until that day when Noah entered into the ark.
For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
39 And they did not realize it, until the flood came and took them all away. So also will the advent of the Son of man be.
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away: so also will be the coming of the Son of man.
40 Then two men will be in a field: one will be taken up, and one will be left behind.
Then will two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women will be grinding at a millstone: one will be taken up, and one will be left behind.
Two [women will be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Therefore, be vigilant. For you do not know at what hour your Lord will return.
Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord cometh.
43 But know this: if only the father of the family knew at what hour the thief would arrive, he would certainly keep vigil and not permit his house to be broken into.
But know this, that if the master of the house knew in what watch the thief would come, he would watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken up.
44 For this reason, you also must be prepared, for you do not know at what hour the Son of man will return.
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh.
45 Consider this: who is a faithful and prudent servant, who has been appointed by his lord over his family, to give them their portion in due time?
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, if, when his lord has arrived, he shall find him doing so.
Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
47 Amen I say to you, he shall appoint him over all of his goods.
Verily I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But if that evil servant has said in his heart, ‘My lord has been delayed in returning,’
But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming;
49 and so, he begins to strike his fellow servants, and he eats and drinks with the inebriated:
And shall begin to beat [his] fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 then the lord of that servant will arrive on a day that he does not expect, and at an hour that he does not know.
The Lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And he shall separate him, and he shall place his portion with the hypocrites, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
And will cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
