Matthew 24:19-50

19But 1woeG3759 to thoseG3588 womenG3588 who are pregnantG2192G1064, and to thoseG3588 who are nursingG2337 babiesG2337 in thoseG3588 daysG2250! 20MoreoverG1161, prayG4336 that 2whenG5437 you fleeG5437, it will not be in the winterG5494, orG3366 on a SabbathG4521. 21For thenG5119 there will be a 3greatG3173 tribulationG2347, suchG3634 as has not occurredG1096 sinceG575 the beginningG746 of the worldG2889 untilG2193 nowG3568, norG3761 everG3756G3361 will again. 22And ifG1487 thoseG1565 daysG2250 had not been cutG2856 shortG2856, noG3756G3956 4lifeG4561 would have been savedG4982; but for 5the sakeG1223 of the 6electG1588 thoseG1565 daysG2250 will be cutG2856 shortG2856. 237ThenG5119 ifG1437 anyoneG5100 saysG3004 to you, ‘BeholdG2400, hereG5602 is the 8ChristG5547,’ orG2228 ‘He is over hereG5602,’ do not believeG4100 him. 24For falseG5580 christsG5580 and 9falseG5578 prophetsG5578 will ariseG1453 and will provideG1325 greatG3173 1011signsG4592 and wondersG5059, soG5620 as to misleadG4105, ifG1487 possibleG1415, evenG2532 12the 13electG1588. 25BeholdG2400, I have toldG4275 you inG4275 advanceG4275. 26SoG3767 ifG1437 they sayG3004 to you, ‘BeholdG2400, He is in the wildernessG2048,’ do not goG1831 outG1831; or, ‘BeholdG2400, He is in the innerG5009 roomsG5009,’ do not believeG4100 them. 2714For justG5618 as the lightningG796 comesG1831 from the eastG395 and flashesG5316 asG2193 farG2193 asG2193 the westG1424, soG3779 will the 15comingG3952 of the 16SonG5207 of ManG444 17be. 2818WhereverG3699G1437 the corpseG4430 is, thereG1563 the 19vulturesG105 will gatherG4863.

29“But immediatelyG2112 afterG3326 the 20tribulationG2347 of thoseG1565 daysG2250 21the sunG2246 will be darkenedG4654, and the moonG4582 will not giveG1325 its lightG5338, and 22the starsG792 will fallG4098 from the skyG3772, and the powersG1411 of the heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531. 30And thenG5119 23the 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 24the SonG5207 of ManG444 comingG2064 on the cloudsG3507 of the skyG3772 with powerG1411 and greatG4183 gloryG1391. 31And 25He will sendG649 forthG649 His angelsG32 with 26a greatG3173 trumpetG4536 blastG4536, and they will gatherG1996 togetherG1996 His 2728electG1588 from 29the fourG5064 windsG417, from one endG206 of the skyG3772 to the otherG206.

32“NowG1161 learnG3129 the parableG3850 from the figG4808 treeG4808: as soonG3752G2235 as its branchG2798 has becomeG1096 tenderG527 and sproutsG1631 its leavesG5444, you knowG1097 that summerG2330 is nearG1451; 33soG3779 you tooG2532, whenG3752 you seeG3708 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 30recognizeG1097 that 31He is nearG1451, right 32at the 33doorG2374. 34TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 34thisG3778 generationG1074 will not passG3928 awayG3928 untilG2193 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 takeG1096 placeG1096. 3535HeavenG3772 and earthG1093 will passG3928 awayG3928, but My wordsG3056 will not passG3928 awayG3928.

36“But 36aboutG4012 that dayG2250 and hourG5610 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG3609, not evenG3761 the angelsG32 of heavenG3772, norG3761 the SonG5207, but the FatherG3962 aloneG3441. 37For 37the 38comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 will be 39justG5618 likeG5618 the daysG2250 of NoahG3575. 38For as in thoseG1565 daysG2250 beforeG4253 the floodG2627 they were eatingG5176 and drinkingG4095, 40marryingG1060 and givingG1061 inG1061 marriageG1061, untilG891 the dayG2250 that 41NoahG3575 enteredG1525 the arkG2787, 39and they did not 42understandG1097 untilG2193 the floodG2627 cameG2064 and tookG142 them allG537 awayG142; soG3779 will the 43comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 be. 40AtG5119 thatG5119 timeG5119 there will be twoG1417 men in the fieldG68; oneG1520 44will be takenG3880 and oneG1520 45will be leftG863. 4146TwoG1417 women will be grindingG229 at the 4748millG3458; oneG1520 49will be takenG3880 and oneG1520 50will be leftG863.

42“ThereforeG3767 51be on the alertG1127, for you do not knowG3609 whichG4169 dayG2250 your LordG2962 is comingG2064. 43But 52be sureG1097 of thisG1565, that 53ifG1487 the headG3617 ofG3617 theG3617 houseG3617 had knownG3609 54at whatG4169 timeG5438 ofG5438 theG5438 nightG5438 the thiefG2812 was comingG2064, he would have been on the alertG1127 and would not have allowedG1439 his houseG3614 to be brokenG1358 into. 44For thisG3778 reasonG1223 55you must be readyG2092 asG2532 wellG2532; for 56the SonG5207 of ManG444 is comingG2064 at an hourG5610 whenG3739 you do not thinkG1380 He will.

45“57WhoG5101 thenG686 is the 58faithfulG4103 and 59sensibleG5429 slaveG1401 whomG3739 his 60masterG2962 61putG2525 inG2525 chargeG2525 of his householdG3610 slavesG3610, to giveG1325 them their foodG5160 at the properG2540 timeG2540? 46BlessedG3107 is that slaveG1401 whomG3739 his 62masterG2962 findsG2147 soG3779 doingG4160 when he comesG2064. 47TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you that 63he will putG2525 him inG2525 chargeG2525 of allG3956 his possessionsG5225. 48But ifG1437 that evilG2556 slaveG1401 saysG3004 in his heartG2588, ‘My 64masterG2962 65isG5549 notG5549 comingG5549 forG5549 aG5549 longG5549 timeG5549,’ 49and he beginsG757 to beatG5180 his fellowG4889 slavesG4889, and he eatsG2068 and drinksG4095 with those habituallyG3184 drunkG3184; 50then the 66masterG2962 of that slaveG1401 will comeG2240 on a dayG2250 that he does not expectG4328, and at an hourG5610 that he does not knowG1097,
