Matthew, Chapter 24

¹ Jesus came out from the temple and was going away^a Lit andwhen His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him. ² And He said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.”	1 Mat 24:1-51 Luk 21:5-36 Mat 21:23 2 Luk 19:44
³ As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the^b Or consummationend of the age?”	3 Mat 21:1 Mat 16:27 Mat 24:27 Mat 24:37 Mat 24:39
⁴ And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. ⁵ For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the^c I.e. the MessiahChrist,’ and will mislead many. ⁶ You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. ⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. ⁸ But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.	4 Jer 29:8 5 Mat 24:11 Mat 24:24 Act 5:36 Jo1 2:18 Jo1 4:3 6 Rev 6:4 7 Ch2 15:6 Isa 19:2 Rev 6:8 Rev 6:12 Act 11:28 Rev 6:5 Rev 6:6 8 Mat 24:8-20 Luk 21:12-24
⁹ “Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. ¹⁰ At that time many will^d Lit be caused to stumblefall away and will^e Or hand overbetray one another and hate one another. ¹¹ Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. ¹² Because lawlessness is increased,^f Lit the love of manymost people’s love will grow cold. ¹³ But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. ¹⁴ This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole^g Lit inhabited earthworld as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.	9 Mat 10:17 Joh 16:2 Mat 10:22 Joh 15:18 10 Mat 11:6 11 Mat 7:15 Mat 24:24 13 Mat 10:22 14 Mat 4:23 Rom 10:18 Col 1:6 Col 1:23 Luk 2:1 Luk 4:5 Act 11:28 Act 17:6 Act 17:31 Act 19:27 Rom 10:18 Heb 1:6 Heb 2:5 Rev 3:10 Rev 16:14
¹⁵ “Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), ¹⁶ then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. ¹⁷ ^h Lit He whoWhoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. ¹⁸ ⁱ Lit He whoWhoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. ¹⁹ But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! ²⁰ But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. ²¹ For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. ²² Unless those days had been cut short, no^j Lit fleshlife would have been saved; but for the sake of the^k Or chosen oneselect those days will be cut short. ²³ Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the^l I.e. MessiahChrist,’ or ‘^m Lit hereThere He is,’ do not believe him. ²⁴ For false Christs and false prophets will arise and willⁿ Lit giveshow great^o Or attesting miraclessigns and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the^p Or chosen oneselect. ²⁵ Behold, I have told you in advance. ²⁶ So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them. ²⁷ For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. ²⁸ Wherever the corpse is, there the^q Or eaglesvultures will gather.	15 Dan 9:27 Dan 11:31 Dan 12:11 Mar 13:14 Luk 21:20 Joh 11:48 Act 6:13 Act 21:28 Mar 13:14 Rev 1:3 17 Sa1 9:25 Sa2 11:2 Mat 10:27 Luk 5:19 Luk 12:3 Luk 17:31 Act 10:9 19 Luk 23:29 21 Dan 12:1 Joe 2:2 Mat 24:29 22 Mat 22:14 Mat 24:24 Mat 24:31 Luk 18:7 23 Luk 17:23 24 Mat 7:15 Mat 24:11 Joh 4:48 Th2 2:9 Mat 22:14 Mat 24:22 Mat 24:31 Luk 18:7 27 Luk 17:24 Mat 24:3 Mat 24:37 Mat 24:39 Mat 8:20 28 Job 39:30 Eze 39:17 Hab 1:8 Luk 17:37
²⁹ “But 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^r Or heaventhe sky, and the powers of^s Or heaventhe heavens will be shaken. ³⁰ And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. ³¹ And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His^t Or chosen oneselect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.	29 Mat 24:21 Isa 13:10 Isa 24:23 Eze 32:7 Joe 2:10 Joe 2:31 Joe 3:15 Amo 5:20 Amo 8:9 Zep 1:15 Mat 24:29-35 Act 2:20 Rev 6:12-17 Rev 8:12 Isa 34:4 Rev 6:13 30 Mat 24:3 Rev 1:7 Dan 7:13 Mat 16:27 Mat 24:3 Mat 24:37 Mat 24:39 31 Mat 13:41 Exo 19:16 Deu 30:4 Isa 27:13 Zec 9:14 Co1 15:52 Th1 4:16 Heb 12:19 Rev 8:2 Rev 11:15 Mat 24:22 Dan 7:2 Zec 2:6 Rev 7:1
³² “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; ³³ so, you too, when you see all these things,^u Or knowrecognize that^v Or itHe is near, right at the^w Lit doorsdoor. ³⁴ Truly I say to you, this^x Or racegeneration will not pass away until all these things take place. ³⁵ Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.	33 Jam 5:9 Rev 3:20 34 Mat 10:23 Mat 16:28 Mat 23:36 35 Mat 5:18 Mar 13:31 Luk 21:33
³⁶ “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. ³⁷ For^y Lit just as...were the daysthe coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. ³⁸ For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, ³⁹ and they did not^z Lit knowunderstand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. ⁴⁰ Then there will be two men in the field; one^aa Lit iswill be taken and one^ab Lit iswill be left. ⁴¹ Two women will be grinding at the^ac I.e. handmillmill; one^ad Lit iswill be taken and one^ae Lit iswill be left.	36 Mar 13:32 Act 1:7 37 Mat 16:27 Mat 24:3 Mat 24:30 Mat 24:39 Gen 6:5 Gen 7:6-23 Luk 17:26 38 Mat 22:30 Gen 7:7 39 Mat 16:27 Mat 24:3 Mat 24:30 Mat 24:37 41 Luk 17:35 Exo 11:5 Deu 24:6 Isa 47:2
⁴² “Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. ⁴³ But^af Lit know thisbe sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be^ag Lit dug throughbroken into. ⁴⁴ For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.	42 Mat 24:43 Mat 24:44 Mat 25:10 Mat 25:13 Luk 12:39 Luk 21:36 43 Mat 24:42 Mat 24:44 Mat 25:10 Mat 25:13 Luk 12:39 Luk 21:36 Mat 14:25 Mar 6:48 Mar 13:35 Luk 12:38 44 Mat 24:42 Mat 24:43 Mat 25:10 Mat 25:13 Luk 12:39 Luk 21:36 Mat 24:27
⁴⁵ “Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his^ah Or lordmaster put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time? ⁴⁶ Blessed is that slave whom his^ai Or lordmaster finds so doing when he comes. ⁴⁷ Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. ⁴⁸ But if that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My^aj Or lordmaster^ak Lit lingersis not coming for a long time,’ ⁴⁹ and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards; ⁵⁰ the^al Or lordmaster of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know, ⁵¹ and will^am Or severely scourge himcut him in pieces and^an Lit appoint his portionassign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.	45 Mat 24:45-51 Mat 25:21 Mat 25:23 Luk 16:10 Mat 7:24 Mat 10:16 Mat 25:2 Mat 25:21 Mat 25:23 47 Mat 25:21 Mat 25:23 51 Mat 8:12
