Matthew 24:3-30

3And as He was sittingG2521 on 1the MountG3735 of OlivesG1636, the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to Him privatelyG2596G2398, sayingG3004, “TellG3004 us, whenG4219 will theseG3778 thingsG3778 happenG1510, and whatG5101 will be the signG4592 of 2Your comingG3952, and of the 3endG4930 of the ageG165?”

4And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “4SeeG991 to it that noG3361 oneG5100 5misleadsG4105 you. 5For 6manyG4183 will comeG2064 in My nameG3686, sayingG3004, ‘I amG1510 the 7ChristG5547,’ and they will 8misleadG4105 manyG4183 peopleG4183. 6And you willG3195 be hearingG191 of 9warsG4171 and rumorsG189 of warsG4171. SeeG3708 that you are not alarmedG2360, for those things mustG1163 takeG1096 placeG1096, but that is not yetG3768 the endG5056. 7For 10nationG1484 will riseG1453 againstG1909 nationG1484, and kingdomG932 againstG1909 kingdomG932, and there will be 11faminesG3042 and earthquakesG4578 in variousG2596 placesG5117. 812But allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 are merely the beginningG746 of birthG5604 painsG5604.

9“13ThenG5119 they will handG3860 you overG3860 to tribulationG2347 and killG615 you, and 14you will be hatedG3404 by allG3956 nationsG1484 becauseG1223 of My nameG3686. 10And at that timeG5119 manyG4183 will 1516fallG4624 awayG4624, and they will 17betrayG3860 oneG240 anotherG240 and hateG3404 oneG240 anotherG240. 11And manyG4183 18falseG5578 prophetsG5578 will riseG1453 upG1453 and 19misleadG4105 manyG4183 peopleG4183. 12And becauseG1223 lawlessnessG458 is increasedG4129, 20mostG4183 people’sG4183 loveG26 will becomeG5594 coldG5594. 1321But the one who enduresG5278 to the endG5056 is theG3778 oneG3778 who will be savedG4982. 14ThisG3778 22gospelG2098 of the kingdomG932 23shall be preachedG2784 in the wholeG3650 2425worldG3625 as a testimonyG3142 to allG3956 the nationsG1484, and thenG5119 the endG5056 will comeG2240.

15“ThereforeG3767 whenG3752 you seeG3708 the 26abominationG946 of desolationG2050 which was spokenG3004 of throughG1223 DanielG1158 the prophetG4396, standingG2476 in 27the holyG40 placeG5117--2829let the 30readerG314 understandG3539-- 16thenG5119 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in JudeaG2449 must fleeG5343 to the mountainsG3735. 1731WhoeverG3588 is on 32the 33housetopG1430 must not goG2597 downG2597 to getG142 things out of his houseG3614. 18And 34whoeverG3588 is in the fieldG68 must not turnG1994 backG3694G1994 to getG142 his cloakG2440. 19But 35woeG3759 to thoseG3588 womenG3588 who are pregnantG2192G1064, and to thoseG3588 who are nursingG2337 babiesG2337 in thoseG3588 daysG2250! 20MoreoverG1161, prayG4336 that 36whenG5437 you fleeG5437, it will not be in the winterG5494, orG3366 on a SabbathG4521. 21For thenG5119 there will be a 37greatG3173 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 38lifeG4561 would have been savedG4982; but for 39the sakeG1223 of the 40electG1588 thoseG1565 daysG2250 will be cutG2856 shortG2856. 2341ThenG5119 ifG1437 anyoneG5100 saysG3004 to you, ‘BeholdG2400, hereG5602 is the 42ChristG5547,’ orG2228 ‘He is over hereG5602,’ do not believeG4100 him. 24For falseG5580 christsG5580 and 43falseG5578 prophetsG5578 will ariseG1453 and will provideG1325 greatG3173 4445signsG4592 and wondersG5059, soG5620 as to misleadG4105, ifG1487 possibleG1415, evenG2532 46the 47electG1588. 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. 2748For justG5618 as the lightningG796 comesG1831 from the eastG395 and flashesG5316 asG2193 farG2193 asG2193 the westG1424, soG3779 will the 49comingG3952 of the 50SonG5207 of ManG444 51be. 2852WhereverG3699G1437 the corpseG4430 is, thereG1563 the 53vulturesG105 will gatherG4863.

29“But immediatelyG2112 afterG3326 the 54tribulationG2347 of thoseG1565 daysG2250 55the sunG2246 will be darkenedG4654, and the moonG4582 will not giveG1325 its lightG5338, and 56the starsG792 will fallG4098 from the skyG3772, and the powersG1411 of the heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531. 30And thenG5119 57the 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 58the SonG5207 of ManG444 comingG2064 on the cloudsG3507 of the skyG3772 with powerG1411 and greatG4183 gloryG1391.
