Matthew 24
Revised Geneva Translation
24 And Jesus went out and departed from the Temple. And His disciples came to Him to show Him the building of the Temple.
2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, there shall not be left a stone upon a stone here, that shall not be cast down.”
3 And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, His disciples came to Him alone, saying, “Tell us when these things shall be. And what sign shall there be of Your coming, and of the end of the world?”
4 And Jesus answered, and said to them, “See to it that no one deceives you.
5 “For many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am Christ’, and shall deceive many.
6 “And you shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled. For all these things must happen. But the end is not yet.
7 “For nation shall rise against nation, and realm against realm. And there shall be famine, and pestilence, and earthquakes in diverse places.
8 “All these are but the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Then they shall deliver you up to tribulation and shall kill you. And you shall be hated by all nations, for My Name’s sake.
10 “And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 “And many false prophets shall arise and shall deceive many.
12 “And because iniquity shall be increased, the love of many shall be cold.
13 “But the one who endures to the end, he shall be saved.
14 “And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached through the whole world, for a witness to all nations. And then the end shall come.
15 “Therefore, when you shall see the Abomination of Desolation (spoken of by Daniel the Prophet) set in the Holy Place (let the one who reads consider it.)
16 “Then let those who are in Judea, flee into the mountains.
17 “Let the one who is on the housetop, not come down to fetch anything out of his house.
18 “And the one who is in the field, let him not go back to fetch his clothes.
19 “Then woe to those who are with child, and to those who give suck in those days.
20 “But pray that your flight is not in the winter, nor on the Sabbath.
21 “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world to this time, nor shall be.
22 “And unless those days are shortened, no flesh will be saved. But for the Elect’s sake, those days shall be shortened.
23 “Then, if anyone shall say to you, ‘Lo, here (or there) is Christ’, do not believe it.
24 “For there shall arise false christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders. So that if it were possible, they would deceive the very Elect.
25 “Behold, I have told you before.
26 “Therefore, if they shall say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the desert’, do not go. ‘Behold, He is in the secret places’, do not believe it.
27 “For as the lightning comes out of the east, and is seen in the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of Man be.
28 “For wherever a dead carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 “And immediately after the tribulations of those days, the sun shall be darkened. And the moon shall not give her light. And the stars shall fall from Heaven. And the powers of Heaven shall be shaken.
30 “And then the sign of the Son of Man shall appear in Heaven. And then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn. And they shall see the Son of Man come in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory.
31 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 the one end of the heavens to the other.
32 “Now learn the parable of the fig tree. When her bough is still tender, and it puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 “So likewise, when you see all these things, know that the Kingdom of God is near, even at the doors.
34 “Truly I say to you that this generation shall not pass until all these things are done.
35 “Heaven and Earth shall pass away. But My words shall not pass away.
36 “But of that day and hour knows no one; no, not the angels of Heaven, but only My Father.
37 “But as in the days of Noah, so likewise shall be the coming of the Son of Man.
38 “For as in the days before the flood, they ate and drank, married, and gave in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the Ark.
39 “And they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away. So also shall the coming of the Son of Man be.
40 “Then two shall be in the fields. The one shall be received, and the other shall be refused.
41 “Two women shall be grinding at the mill. The one shall be received, and the other shall be refused.
42 “Watch, therefore. For you do not know what hour your Master will come.
43 “Of this be sure: that if the good man of the house knew at what time the thief would come, he would surely watch, and not allow his house to be dug through.
44 “Therefore, you be ready also. For the Son of Man will come at an hour which you do not expect.
45 “Who then is a faithful servant (and wise), whom his master has made ruler over his household, to give them food in season?
46 “Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, shall find so doing.
47 “Truly I say to you that he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 “But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, ‘My master delays his coming’,
49 “and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken,
50 “that servant’s master will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour of which he is not aware,
51 “and will cut him in two and give him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Matthew 24
New International Version
Matthew 24
New International Version
The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times(A)
24 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another;(B) every one will be thrown down.”
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives,(C) the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming(D) and of the end of the age?”(E)
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.(F) 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.(G) 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.(H) There will be famines(I) and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted(J) and put to death,(K) and you will be hated by all nations because of me.(L) 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets(M) will appear and deceive many people.(N) 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(O) 14 And this gospel of the kingdom(P) will be preached in the whole world(Q) as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15 “So when you see standing in the holy place(R) ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a](S) spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop(T) go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!(U) 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.(V)
22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect(W) those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.(X) 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders(Y) to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning(Z) that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming(AA) of the Son of Man.(AB) 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.(AC)
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b](AD)
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn(AE) when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven,(AF) with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels(AG) with a loud trumpet call,(AH) and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[e] is near, right at the door.(AI) 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.(AJ) 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(AK)
The Day and Hour Unknown(AL)(AM)
36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father.(AN) 37 As it was in the days of Noah,(AO) so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,(AP) up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.(AQ) 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.(AR) 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.(AS)
42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.(AT) 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming,(AU) he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready,(AV) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant,(AW) whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.(AX) 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.(AY) 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.(AZ) 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.(BA)
