‏ Matthew 24

CHAPTER 24 Signs of the End

1 And coming forth, Jesus went from the temple. And [²came forward ¹his disciples] to display to him the constructions of the temple. 2 And Jesus said to them, Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, In no way shall there be left here a stone upon a stone, which in any way shall be resting. 3 [³sitting down ¹And in ²his] upon the mount of olives, there came forward to him the disciples in private, saying, Tell us when these things will be, and what is the sign of your arrival, and the completion of the age? 4 And answering Jesus said to them, Take heed lest any should mislead you! 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ. And [²many ¹they shall mislead]. 6 But you shall be about to hear of wars and reports of wars. Look to it! lest you be alarmed, [³must ¹for ²all these things] take place, but not yet is the end. 7 [³shall rise up ¹For ²nation] against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, and pestilent things, and earthquakes in places. 8 And all these things are the beginning of birth-pangs. 9 Then they shall deliver you unto affliction, and shall kill you; and you shall be ones being detested by all the nations on account of my name. 10 And then [²shall be stumbled ¹many], and [²one another ¹they shall deliver up], and they shall detest one another. 11 And many false prophets shall arise, and they shall mislead many. 12 And on account of the multiplying the lawlessness, [⁴shall be made cold ¹the ²love ³of many]. 13 But the one remaining unto the end, this one shall be delivered. 14 And [⁵shall be proclaimed ¹this ²good news ³of the ⁴kingdom] in the entire inhabitable world, for a testimony to all the ones among the nations; and then shall come the end.

The Abomination of the Desolation

15 Whenever then you should behold the abomination of the desolation, the thing having been spoken through Daniel the prophet, standing in [²place ¹a holy]; (the one reading let him comprehend!) 16 Then the ones in Judea, let them flee unto the mountains! 17 The one upon the roof, let him not go down to lift anything from out of his house. 18 And the one in the field, let him not turn back to carry his garments. 19 But woe to the ones [²one in ³the womb ¹having], and the ones nursing in those days. 20 And pray that [²should not take place ¹your flight into exile] in winter, nor on the Sabbath. 21 For there will be then [²affliction ¹great], such as has not taken place from the beginning of the world until the present, nor in any way to be. 22 And unless [²were cut short ¹those days], not even was [³delivered ¹any ²flesh]. But on account of the chosen ones [²shall be cut short ¹those days]. 23 Then if any should say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here; you should not believe. 24 For shall arise false christs and false prophets, and they will give [²signs ¹great] and miracles, so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones. 25 Behold, I described to you beforehand. 26 If then they should say to you, Behold, [²in ³the ⁴wilderness ¹he is]; you should not go forth. or, Behold, he is in the inner chambers; you should not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes forth from the east, and shines forth unto the west, so will be also the arrival of the son of man. 28 For where ever might be the corpse, there [³will be gathered together ¹the ²eagles]. 29 And immediately after the affliction of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its brightness, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the forces of the heavens shall be shaken.

The Coming of the Son of Man

30 And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in the heaven. And then [⁶shall beat their chest ¹all ²the ³tribes ⁴of the ⁵earth]. And they shall see the son of man coming upon the clouds of the heaven with power and [²glory ¹great]. 31 And he shall send his angels with a trumpet [²sound ¹of great]. And they shall assemble his chosen from out of the four winds, from the tips of the heavens unto their tips. 32 But from the fig-tree learn the parable! Whenever already its branches become tender, and the leaves spring forth, know that [²is near ¹summer]. 33 So also you, whenever you behold all these things, know that it is near at the doors. 34 Amen I say to you, In no way should [²pass away ¹this generation] until whenever all these things should come to pass. 35 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words in no way shall pass away. 36 But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, only my father alone. 37 And as the days of Noah, so will be also the arrival of the son of man. 38 For as were in the days, the ones before the flood, gnawing and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, as far as of which day Noah entered into the ark, 39 and they did not know, until [³came ¹the ²flood] and lifted all. So it will be also in the arrival of the son of man. 40 Then two will be in the field; the one shall be taken by himself, and the one left. 41 Two women grinding at the mill; one shall be taken by herself, and one left. 42 Be vigilant then, for you know not what hour your Lord comes!

Be Prepared

43 But this know! that if [³knew ¹the ²master of the house] what watch the thief comes, he would have been vigilant, and he would not have allowed [²to be dug through ¹his house]. 44 On account of this you also be prepared! for in which hour you think not, the son of man comes. 45 Who then is the trustworthy [³manservant ¹and ²practical] whom [²placed ¹his master] over his service, to give to them provision in season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom [²having come ¹his master] shall find doing thus. 47 Amen I say to you that, Over all his possessions he shall place him. 48 But if [⁴should say ²evil ³servant ¹that] in his heart, [²passes time ¹My master] to come; 49 and he should begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with the ones being intoxicated; 50 [⁴shall come ¹the ²master ³of that servant] in a day in which he does not expect, and in an hour in which he knows not. 51 And he shall cut him in pieces, and his portion [²with ³the ⁴hypocrites ¹will be established]. There, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
