MATTHEW ยท Chapter 24
24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples
came to him in order to show him the buildings of the temple.
24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See all of you 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.
24:3 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 your coming, and of the end of the world?
24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive
you.
24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many.
24:6 And all of you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that
all of you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but
the end is not yet.
24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers
places.
24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill
you: and all of you shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another,
and shall hate one another.
24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many
shall wax cold.
24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
24:14 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.
24:15 When all of you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso reads,
let him understand:)
24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing
out of his house:
24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his
clothes.
24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
suck in those days!
24:20 But pray all of you that your flight be not in the winter, neither
on the sabbath day:
24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh
be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there;
believe it not.
24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and
shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible,
they shall deceive the very elect.
24:25 Behold, I have told you before.
24:26 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.
24:27 For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto
the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
24:28 For where ever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered
together.
24:29 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:
24:30 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.
24:31 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 one
end of heaven to the other.
24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender,
and puts forth leaves, all of you know that summer is nigh:
24:33 So likewise all of you, when all of you shall see all these things,
know that it is near, even at the doors.
24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all
these things be fulfilled.
24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall
not pass away.
24:36 But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of
heaven, but my Father only.
24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be.
24:38 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,
24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the
other left.
24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
24:42 Watch therefore: for all of you know not what hour your Lord
does come.
24:43 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.
24:44 Therefore be all of you also ready: for in such an hour as all
of you think not the Son of man comes.
24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made
ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?
24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find
so doing.
24:47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all
his goods.
24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord
delays his coming;
24:49 And shall begin to strike his fellow servants, and to eat and
drink with the drunken;
24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not
for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the
hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
