Context of Matthew 24:14
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. And 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 through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand), 16then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains:

Commentaries on Matthew 24:14
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world - But, notwithstanding these persecutions, there should be a universal publication of the glad tidings of the kingdom, for a testimony to all nations. God would have the iniquity of the Jews published every where, before the heavy stroke of his judgments should fall upon them; that all mankind, as it were, might be brought as witnesses against their cruelty and obstinacy in crucifying and…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world - The evidence that this was done is to be chiefly derived from the New Testament, and there it is clear. Thus Paul declares that it was preached to every creature under heaven Colossians 1:6, Colossians 1:23; that the faith of the Romans was spoken of throughout the whole world Romans 1:8; that he preached in Arabia Galatians 1:17, and at Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum Romans…Read the comment

Christ gave them no answer to that; but they had also asked, What shall be the sign? This question he answers fully.

Before the end comes, there will be a time, whether short or long, when the good news spreads among the nations. Jesus said the end will be marked by three signs. First is "the abomination of desolation" (24:15). Second is severe persecution (24:16–28). Finally comes the sign of the Son of Man (24:29–31).Read the comment
