Mattithyahu (Matthew) 24
24
1And going out, יהושע went away from the Set-apart Place, and His taught ones came near to point out to Him the buildings of the Set-apart Place.
2And יהושע said to them, “Do you not see all these? Truly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, at all, which shall not be thrown down.”
3And as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the taught ones came to Him separately, saying, “Say to us, when shall this be, and what is the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4And יהושע answering, said to them, “Take heed that no one leads you astray.
5“For many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they shall lead many astray.
6“And you shall begin to hear of fightings and reports of fightings. See that you are not troubled, for these have to take place, but the end is not yet.
7“For nation shall rise against nation, and reign against reign. And there shall be scarcities of food, and deadly diseases, and earthquakes in places.
8“And all these are the beginning of birth pains.
9“Then they shall deliver you up to affliction and kill you, and you shall be hated by all nations for My Name’s sake.
10“And then many shall stumble, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.
11“And many false prophets shall rise up and lead many astray.
12“And because of the increase in lawlessness, the love of many shall become cold.
13“But he who shall have endured to the end shall be saved.#See Mat. 10:22
14“And this Good News of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.
15“So when you see the ‘abomination that lays waste,’# Dan.11.31 spoken of by Dani’ĕl the prophet, set up in the set-apart place” – he who reads, let him understand –#See also Dan. 9.27 and "Abomination that lays waste" in the Explanatory Notes.
16“then let those who are in Yehuḏah flee to the mountains.
17“Let him who is on the house-top not come down to take whatever out of his house.
18“And let him who is in the field not turn back to get his garments.
19And woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing children in those days!”
20“And pray that your flight does not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.
21For then there shall be great distress,#Or great pressure, or great affliction. such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22“And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the sake of the chosen ones those days shall be shortened.
23“If anyone then says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe.
24“For false messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and they shall show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
25“See, I have forewarned you.
26“So if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe.
27For as the lightning comes from the east and shines to the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be.
28For wherever the dead body is, there the vultures#See also Luke 17:37 shall be gathered together.
29And immediately after the distress#Or pressure. of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven,# Isa. 13:10; Isa. 24:23; Eze. 32:7, 8; Joel 2:10; Joel 2:31; Joel 3:15#See also Amos 5:20; Amos 8:9 and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.# Hag. 2:6; Hag. 2:21#See also Isa. 34:4
30“And then the sign of the Son of Aḏam shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, # Zech. 12:10; Zech. 12:14 and they shall see the Son of Aḏam coming on the clouds# Dan. 7:13 of the heaven with power and much esteem.#See also Dan. 7:14
31And He shall send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet,# Isa. 27:13 and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds,# Dan. 7:2 from one end of the heavens to the other.# Deu. 4:32
32“And learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is near.
33“So you also, when you see all these, know that He is near, at the doors.
34“Truly, I say to you, this generation shall by no means pass away until all this takes place.
35“The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My words shall by no means pass away.
36“But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the messengers of the heavens, but My Father only.#See also Mark 13:32
37“And as the days of Noaḥ, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be.
38For as they were in the days before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noaḥ entered into the ark,# Gen. 7:7
39and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be.
40Then two#A masculine plural can refer to either gender; feminine plural refers to females only. shall be in the field, the one is taken and the one is left.
41“Two women#A masculine plural can refer to either gender; feminine plural refers to females only. shall be grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left.
42“Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Master is coming.
43“And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
44“Because of this, be ready too, for the Son of Aḏam is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him.
45Who then is a trustworthy and wise servant, whom his master set over his household, to give them food in season?”
46“Blessed is that servant whom his master, having come, shall find so doing.
47“Truly, I say to you that he shall set him over all his possessions.
48“But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’
49and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards,
50the master of that servant shall come on a day when he does not expect it, and at an hour he does not know,
51and shall cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites – there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

S. Matthew 24
24
1And Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way; and his disciples came to him to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2But he answered and 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. 3And as he sat on 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?
4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray. 6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet. 7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines and earthquakes in divers places. 8But all these things are the beginning of travail. 9Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name's sake. 10And then shall many stumble, and shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another. 11And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray. 12And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold. 13But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come. 15When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand), 16then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains: 17let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house: 18and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloke. 19But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! 20And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath: 21for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. 22And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25Behold, I have told you beforehand. 26If therefore they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the wilderness; go not forth: Behold, he is in the inner chambers; believe it not. 27For as the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 28Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29But immediately, after the tribulation 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 the heavens shall be shaken: 30and 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 on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31And he shall send forth 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.
32Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh; 33even so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors. 34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. 35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only. 37And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 38For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 40Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: 41two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. 42Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh. 43But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. 44Therefore be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season? 46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath. 48But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth; 49and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken; 50the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, 51and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
