Matthew 24

American Standard Version

1And JesusG2424 wentG1831 out from the temple, and was goingG4198 on his way; and his disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to him to showG1925 him the buildingsG3619 of the temple. 2But he answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, SeeG991 ye not all these thingsG3778? verily I sayG3004 unto you, There shall not be leftG863 hereG5602 oneG3739 stoneG3037 upon another, that shall not be thrown downG2647.

3And as he satG2521 on the mountG3735 of Olives, the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 unto him privately, sayingG3004, TellG3004 us, when shall these thingsG3778 beG1510? and what shall beG1510 the signG4592 of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, TakeG991 heedG991 that no man lead you astrayG4105. 5For manyG4183 shall comeG2064 in my nameG3686, sayingG3004, I amG1510 the ChristG5547; and shall lead manyG4183 astrayG4105. 6And ye shall hearG191 of warsG4171 and rumorsG189 of warsG4171; seeG3708 that ye beG1510 not troubled: for these thingsG3195 must needs comeG1096 to passG1096; but the endG5056 isG1510 not yet. 7For nationG1484 shall riseG1453 against nationG1484, and kingdomG932 against kingdomG932; and there shall beG1510 faminesG3042 and earthquakesG4578 in divers placesG5117. 8But all these thingsG3778 are the beginning of travail. 9Then shall they deliverG3860 you up unto tribulationG2347, and shall killG615 you: and ye shall beG1510 hatedG3404 of all the nationsG1484 for my name’sG3686 sakeG1223. 10And then shall manyG4183 stumbleG4624, and shall deliverG3860 up oneG240 another, and shall hateG3404 oneG240 another. 11And manyG4183 falseG5578 prophetsG5578 shall ariseG1453, and shall lead manyG4183 astrayG4105. 12And because iniquity shall be multipliedG4129, the loveG26 of the manyG4183 shall wax cold. 13But he that endureth to the endG5056, the same shall be savedG4982. 14And this gospelG2098 of the kingdomG932 shall be preachedG2784 in the wholeG3650 worldG3625 for a testimonyG3142 unto all the nationsG1484; and then shall the endG5056 comeG2240.

15WhenG3752 thereforeG3767 ye seeG3708 the abominationG946 of desolationG2050, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophetG4396, standingG2476 in the holyG40 placeG5117 (let him that readeth understandG3539), 16thenG5119 let them that are in Judæa fleeG5343 unto the mountainsG3735: 17let him that is on the housetopG1430 not goG2597 down to takeG142 out the things that are in his houseG3614: 18and let him that is in the fieldG68 not returnG1994 backG1994 to takeG142 his cloakG2440. 19But woeG3759 unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those daysG2250! 20And prayG4336 ye that your flight be not in the winterG5494, neither on a sabbathG4521: 21for thenG5119 shall beG1510 greatG3173 tribulationG2347, suchG3634 as hath not beenG1510 from the beginning of the worldG2889 until nowG3568, no, nor ever shall beG1510. 22And except those daysG2250 had been shortenedG2856, no fleshG4561 would have been savedG4982: but for the elect’s sakeG1223 those daysG2250 shall be shortenedG2856. 23ThenG5119 if any man shall sayG3004 unto you, Lo, hereG5602 is the ChristG5547, or, HereG5602; believeG4100 it not. 24For there shall ariseG1453 falseG5578 ChristsG5580, and falseG5578 prophetsG5578, and shall show greatG3173 signsG4592 and wondersG5059; so as to lead astrayG4105, if possibleG1415, evenG2532 the electG1588. 25BeholdG2400, I have told you beforehand. 26If thereforeG3767 they shall sayG3004 unto you, BeholdG2400, he isG1510 in the wildernessG2048; goG1831 not forthG1831: BeholdG2400, he isG1510 in the innerG5009 chambers; believeG4100 it not. 27For as the lightningG796 cometh forthG1831 from the eastG395, and isG1510 seen evenG2532 unto the westG1424; so shall beG1510 the coming of the SonG5207 of manG444. 28Wheresoever the carcase isG1510, there will the eagles beG1510 gatheredG4863 togetherG4863.

29But immediatelyG2112 after the tribulationG2347 of those daysG2250 the sunG2246 shall be darkenedG4654, and the moonG4582 shall not giveG1325 her lightG5338, and the starsG792 shall fallG4098 from heavenG3772, and the powersG1411 of the heavensG3772 shall be shakenG4531: 30and then shall appearG5316 the signG4592 of the SonG5207 of manG444 in heavenG3772: and then shall all the tribesG5443 of the earthG1093 mournG2875, and they shall seeG3708 the SonG5207 of manG444 comingG2064 on the cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772 with powerG1411 and greatG4183 gloryG1391. 31And he shall sendG649 forthG649 his angelsG32 with a greatG3173 sound of a trumpetG4536, and they shall gatherG1996 togetherG1996 his electG1588 from the fourG5064 windsG417, from oneG3588 endG206 of heavenG3772 to the other.

32NowG1161 from the figG4808 treeG4808 learnG3129 her parableG3850: whenG3752 her branchG2798 is nowG1161 becomeG1096 tenderG527, and putteth forthG1631 its leaves, ye knowG1097 that the summerG2330 is nigh; 33evenG2532 so ye alsoG2532, whenG3752 ye seeG3708 all these thingsG3778, knowG1097 ye that he isG1510 nigh, evenG2532 at the doorsG2374. 34Verily I sayG3004 unto you, This generationG1074 shall not passG3928 awayG3928, till all these thingsG3778 be accomplished. 35HeavenG3772 and earthG1093 shall passG3928 awayG3928, but my wordsG3056 shall not passG3928 awayG3928. 36But of that dayG2250 and hourG5610 knoweth no oneG3762, not evenG2532 the angelsG32 of heavenG3772, neither the SonG5207, but the FatherG3962 onlyG3441. 37And as wereG1510 the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, soG3779 shall beG1510 the coming of the SonG5207 of manG444. 38For as in those daysG2250 which wereG1510 before the floodG2627 they wereG1510 eatingG5176 and drinkingG4095, marryingG1060 and giving in marriage, until the dayG2250 that NoahG3575 enteredG1525 into the arkG2787, 39and they knewG1097 not until the floodG2627 cameG2064, and tookG142 them all awayG142; so shall beG1510 the comingG2064 of the SonG5207 of manG444. 40Then shall twoG1417 men beG1510 in the fieldG68; oneG1520 isG1510 takenG3880, and oneG1520 isG1510 leftG863: 41twoG1417 women shall be grindingG229 at the mill; oneG1520 is takenG3880, and oneG1520 is leftG863. 42WatchG1127 thereforeG3767: for ye know not on what dayG2250 your LordG2962 cometh. 43But knowG1097 this, that if the master of the houseG3614 had knownG1097 in what watchG1127 the thiefG2812 was comingG2064, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his houseG3614 to be brokenG1358 through. 44Therefore be ye alsoG2532 readyG2092; for in an hourG5610 that ye thinkG1380 not the SonG5207 of manG444 cometh.

45Who then isG1510 the faithfulG4103 and wiseG5429 servantG1401, whom his lordG2962 hath setG2525 over his household, to giveG1325 them their foodG5160 in due seasonG2540? 46Blessed is that servantG1401, whom his lordG2962 whenG2064 he cometh shall findG2147 soG3779 doing. 47Verily I sayG3004 unto you, that he will setG2525 him over all that he hath. 48But if that evilG2556 servantG1401 shall sayG3004 in his heartG2588, My lordG2962 tarrieth; 49and shall beginG757 to beatG5180 his fellow-servants, and shall eatG2068 and drinkG4095 with the drunken; 50the lordG2962 of that servantG1401 shall comeG2240 in a dayG2250 when he expecteth not, and in an hourG5610 when he knoweth not, 51and shall cutG1371 him asunder, and appoint his portionG3313 with the hypocritesG5273: there shall beG1510 the weepingG2805 and the gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.
