Matthew 24

¹And Jesus being come out of the temple, went away. And his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple.

²And he answering, said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed.

³And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the consummation of the world?

⁴And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you.

⁵For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ. And they will seduce many.

⁶And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass: but the end is not yet.

⁷For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And there shall be pestilences and famines and earthquakes in places.

⁸Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows.

⁹Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name's sake.

¹⁰And then shall many be scandalized and shall betray one another and shall hate one another.

¹¹And many false prophets shall rise and shall seduce many.

¹²And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold.

¹³But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.

¹⁴And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations: and then shall the consummation come.

¹⁵When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand.

¹⁶Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains:

¹⁷And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house:

¹⁸And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat.

¹⁹And woe to them that are with child and that give suck in those days.

²⁰But pray that your flight be not in the winter or on the sabbath.

²¹For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be.

²²And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened.

²³Then if any man shall say to you, Lo here is Christ, or there: do not believe him.

²⁴For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.

²⁵Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.

²⁶If therefore they shall say to you, Behold he is in the desert: go ye not out. Behold he is in the closets: believe it not.

²⁷For as lightning cometh out of the east and appeareth even into the west: so shall also the cowling of the Son of man be.

²⁸Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together.

²⁹And 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 heaven shall be moved.

³⁰And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven. And then shall all tribes of the earth mourn: and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty.

³¹And he shall send his angels with a trumpet and a great voice: and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them.

³²And from the fig tree learn a parable: When the branch thereof is now tender and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh.

³³So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh, even at the doors.

³⁴Amen I say to you that this generation shall not pass till all these things be done.

³⁵Heaven and earth shall pass: but my words shall not pass.

³⁶But of that day and hour no one knoweth: no, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone.

³⁷And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

³⁸For, as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even till that day in which Noe entered into the ark:

³⁹And they knew not till the flood came and took them all away: so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.

⁴⁰Then two shall be in the field. One shall be taken and one shall be left.

⁴¹Two women shall be grinding at the mill. One shall be taken and one shall be left.

⁴²Watch ye therefore, because you know not what hour your Lord will come.

⁴³But this know ye, that, if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch and would not suffer his house to be broken open.

⁴⁴Wherefore be you also ready, because at what hour you know not the Son of man will come.

⁴⁵Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season?

⁴⁶Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing.

⁴⁷Amen I say to you: he shall place him over all his goods.

⁴⁸But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming:

⁴⁹And shall begin to strike his fellow servants and shall eat and drink with drunkards:

⁵⁰The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he hopeth not and at an hour that he knoweth not:

⁵¹And shall separate him and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 24

¹And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

²And Jesus 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 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 thy coming, and of the end of the world?

⁴And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

⁵For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

⁶And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must 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 pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

⁸All these are the beginning of sorrows.

⁹Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

¹⁰And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

¹¹And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

¹²And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

¹³But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

¹⁴And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

¹⁵When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

¹⁶Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains:

¹⁷Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

¹⁸Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

¹⁹And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

²⁰But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

²¹For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

²²And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

²³Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

²⁴For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

²⁵Behold, I have told you before.

²⁶Wherefore 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.

²⁷For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

²⁸For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

²⁹Immediately 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:

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 in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

³¹And 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.

³²Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

³³So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

³⁴Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

³⁵Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

³⁶But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

³⁷But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

³⁸For 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,

³⁹And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

⁴⁰Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

⁴¹Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

⁴²Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

⁴³But 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.

⁴⁴Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

⁴⁵Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

⁴⁶Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

⁴⁷Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

⁴⁸But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

⁴⁹And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

⁵⁰The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

⁵¹And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
