Matthew 24:23-51
231ThenG5119 ifG1437 anyoneG5100 saysG3004 to you, ‘BeholdG2400, hereG5602 is the 2ChristG5547,’ orG2228 ‘3ThereG5602 He is,’ do not believeG4100 him. 24For falseG5580 ChristsG5580 and 4falseG5578 prophetsG5578 will ariseG1453 and will 5showG1325 greatG3173 67signsG4592 and wondersG5059, soG5620 as to misleadG4105, ifG1487 possibleG1415, evenG2532 8the 9electG1588. 25BeholdG2400, I have toldG4275 you in advanceG4275. 26SoG3767 ifG1437 they sayG3004 to you, ‘BeholdG2400, He is in the wildernessG2048,’ do not goG1831 out, or, ‘BeholdG2400, He is in the innerG5009 roomsG5009,’ do not believeG4100 them. 2710For justG5618 as the lightningG796 comesG1831 from the eastG395 and flashesG5316 evenG2193 to the westG1424, soG3779 will the 11comingG3952 of the 12SonG5207 of ManG444 be. 2813WhereverG3699G1437 the corpseG4430 is, thereG1563 the 14vulturesG105 will gatherG4863.
29“But immediatelyG2112 afterG3326 the 15tribulationG2347 of thoseG1565 daysG2250 16the sunG2246 will be darkenedG4654, and the moonG4582 will not giveG1325 its lightG5338, and 17the starsG792 will fallG4098 from 18the skyG3772, and the powersG1411 of 19the heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531. 30And thenG5119 20the signG4592 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 will appearG5316 in the skyG3772, and thenG5119 allG3956 the tribesG5443 of the earthG1093 will mournG2875, and they will seeG3708 21the SonG5207 of ManG444 comingG2064 on the cloudsG3507 of the skyG3772 with powerG1411 and greatG4183 gloryG1391. 31And 22He will sendG649 forthG649 His angelsG32 with 23a greatG3173 trumpetG4536 and they will gatherG1996 togetherG1996 His 2425electG1588 from 26the fourG5064 windsG417, from one endG206 of the skyG3772 to the otherG206.
32“NowG1161 learnG3129 the parableG3850 from the figG4808 treeG4808: whenG3752 its branchG2798 has alreadyG2235 becomeG1096 tenderG527 and putsG1631 forthG1631 its leavesG5444, you knowG1097 that summerG2330 is nearG1451; 33soG3779, you tooG2532, whenG3752 you seeG3708 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 27recognizeG1097 that 28He is nearG1451, right 29at the 30doorG2374. 34TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 31thisG3778 32generationG1074 will not passG3928 awayG3928 untilG2193 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 takeG1096 placeG1096. 3533HeavenG3772 and earthG1093 will passG3928 awayG3928, but My wordsG3056 will not passG3928 awayG3928.
36“But 34of that dayG2250 and hourG5610 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG3609, not evenG3761 the angelsG32 of heavenG3772, norG3761 the SonG5207, but the FatherG3962 aloneG3441. 37For 35the 36comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 will be 37justG5618 likeG5618 the daysG2250 of NoahG3575. 38For as in thoseG1565 daysG2250 beforeG4253 the floodG2627 they were eatingG5176 and drinkingG4095, 38marryingG1060 and givingG1061 in marriageG1061, untilG891 the dayG2250 that 39NoahG3575 enteredG1525 the arkG2787, 39and they did not 40understandG1097 untilG2193 the floodG2627 cameG2064 and tookG142 them allG537 awayG142; soG3779 will the 41comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 be. 40ThenG5119 there will be twoG1417 menG1417 in the fieldG68; oneG1520 42will be takenG3880 and oneG1520 43will be leftG863. 4144TwoG1417 women will be grindingG229 at the 4546millG3458; oneG1520 47will be takenG3880 and oneG1520 48will be leftG863.
42“ThereforeG3767 49be on the alertG1127, for you do not knowG3609 whichG4169 dayG2250 your LordG2962 is comingG2064. 43But 50be sureG1097 of thisG1565, that 51ifG1487 the headG3617 of the houseG3617 had knownG3609 52at whatG4169 timeG5438 of the nightG5438 the thiefG2812 was comingG2064, he would have been on the alertG1127 and would not have allowedG1439 his houseG3614 to be 53brokenG1358 into. 44For thisG3778 reasonG1223 54you alsoG2532 must be readyG2092; for 55the SonG5207 of ManG444 is comingG2064 at an hourG5610 whenG3739 you do not thinkG1380 He will.
45“56WhoG5101 thenG686 is the 57faithfulG4103 and 58sensibleG5429 slaveG1401 whomG3739 his 59masterG2962 60putG2525 in chargeG2525 of his householdG3610 to giveG1325 them their foodG5160 at the properG2540 timeG2540? 46BlessedG3107 is that slaveG1401 whomG3739 his 61masterG2962 findsG2147 soG3779 doingG4160 when he comesG2064. 47TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you that 62he will putG2525 him in chargeG2525 of allG3956 his possessionsG5225. 48But ifG1437 that evilG2556 slaveG1401 saysG3004 in his heartG2588, ‘My 63masterG2962 64is not comingG5549 for a longG5549 timeG5549,’ 49and beginsG757 to beatG5180 his fellowG4889 slavesG4889 and eatG2068 and drinkG4095 with drunkardsG3184; 50the 65masterG2962 of that slaveG1401 will comeG2240 on a dayG2250 whenG3739 he does not expectG4328 him and at an hourG5610 whichG3739 he does not knowG1097, 51and will 66cutG1371 him in piecesG1371 and 67assignG5087 him a placeG3313 with the hypocritesG5273; in that placeG3313 thereG1563 will be 68weepingG2805 and gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.
