< Matthew 24 >

1 And, Jesus coming forth, from the temple, was taking his departure, when his disciples came forward to point out to him the buildings of the temple.
And Yahushua went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 But, he, answering, said unto them—Are ye not beholding all these things? Verily, I say unto you—in no wise, shall there be left here, stone upon stone, which shall not be thrown down.
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.
3 And, as he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him, privately, saying—Tell us, when these things shall be, —and what the sign of thy presence, and the conclusion of the age. (aiōn g165)
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)
4 And, answering, Jesus said unto them—Be taking heed, lest anyone, deceive, you;
And Yahushua answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For, many, will come upon my name, saying—I, am the Christ, —and will, deceive many.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive many.
6 Moreover ye will be sure to be hearing of wars, and rumours of wars: Mind! be not alarmed, for it must needs happen, —but, not yet, is, the end;
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.
7 For there will arise—nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, —and there will be famines and earthquakes, in places.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 But, all these things, are a beginning of birth-pangs.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then, will they deliver you up into tribulation, and will slay you, —and ye will be men hated by all the nations, because of my name
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.
10 And, then, will many be caused to stumble, and, one another, will deliver up, and will hate one another;
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And, many false prophets, will arise, and deceive, many;
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And, because of lawlessness being brought to the full, the love of the many, will grew cold.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But, he that hath endured throughout, the same, shall be saved.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this glad message of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the inhabited earth, for a witness unto all the nations, —and, then, will have come, the end.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 Whensoever, therefore, ye shall see the abomination desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place, —he that readeth, let him think,
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, they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains;
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 And, he that is on the house-top, let him not come down, to take away the things out of his house;
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 And, he that is in the field, let him not turn back, to take away his mantle.
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 But alas! for the women with child, and for them that are giving suck, in those days;
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But be praying that your flight, may not happen in winter, nor on sabbath;
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day:
21 For there will be then, Great tribulation, such as hath not happened, from the beginning of the world, until the present time, neither in any wise shall happen.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And, except those days had been shortened, no flesh had been saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, those days shall be shortened.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then, if any, unto you, say—Lo! here, is the Christ, or, there, Do not believe it;
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Messiah, or there; believe it not.
24 For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets, —and they will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen, should be deceived: —
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.
25 Lo! I have foretold you.
Behold, I have told you before.
26 If therefore they should say unto you, Lo! in the desert, he is, Do not go forth; Lo! in the chambers, Do not believe it.
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.
27 For, just as the lightning goeth forth from the east, and shineth unto the west, so, shall be the presence of the Son of Man.
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 Wheresoever, the corpse, shall be, there, shall be gathered, the vultures!
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 But, straightway after the tribulation of those days, the sun, will be darkened, and, the moon, will not give her brightness, 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, will be displayed—The sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and, then, will smite their breasts—all the tribes of the earth; and they will see the Son of Man—coming upon the clouds of heaven, with great power and glory.
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 will send forth his messengers, with a great trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen—Out of the four winds, from heavens’ bounds, unto their bounds.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now, from the fig-tree, learn ye, the parable: —When, already, her young branch, becometh tender, and the leaves, may be sprouting, ye observe, that, near, is, the summer:
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 Thus, ye also, when ye shall see all these things, observe ye, that, near, he is, at the doors.
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily, I say unto you—In nowise, shall this generation, pass away, until all these things, shall happen:
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 The heaven and the earth, shall pass away, but, my words, shall, in nowise, pass away.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But, concerning that day and hour, no one, knoweth, neither the messengers of the heavens, nor the Son, —save the Father only.
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 For, just as the days of Noah, so, will be the presence of the Son of Man;
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For, as they were in those days that were before the flood, feeding and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, —until the day 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 Noe entered into the ark,
39 And they observed not, until the flood came and took away all together, so, will be, the presence of the Son of Man.
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then, shall there be two men in the field, —one, is taken near, and, one, is left behind:
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women grinding at the mill, —one, is taken near, and, one, is left behind.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Be watching, therefore, for ye know not, on what manner of day, your Lord is coming.
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your master doth come.
43 But there is, one thing, ye know—That, if the householder, had known, in what watch, the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.
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.
44 Wherefore, ye also, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are, not thinking, The Son of Man doth come.
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master hath appointed over his household, to give them food in season?
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 Happy! that servant, whom his master, when he cometh, shall find so doing!
Blessed is that servant, whom his master when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily, I say unto you—Over all his substance, will he appoint him.
Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But, if that wicked servant should say in his heart—My master, delayeth,
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My master delayeth his coming;
49 And begin to be striking his fellow-servants, and eating and drinking with the drunken,
And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The master of that servant, will have come, on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not observing, —
The master of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And will cut him asunder; and, his part, with the hypocrites, will appoint: There, shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth!
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
