Chapter 24
2.The destruction of the Temple. 4. The signs of Christ's coming.
12. Iniquity. 23. False Christ's. 29. The signs of the end of the
world. 31. The Angels. 32. The fig tree. 37. The days of Noah. 42. We
must watch. 45. The servant.
And * Jesus went out, and departed from the
Temple, and his disciples came to him, to show him the building of
the Temple.
2 1 And
Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things?
Verily I say unto you, * there shall not
be here left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be cast down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of
Olives, his disciples came unto him apart, saying, Tell us when these
things shall be, and what sign shall be of thy coming, and of
the end of the world.
4 2 And
Jesus answered, and said unto them, * Take heed
that no man deceive you.
5 For many
shall come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive many.
6 And ye
shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled:
for all these things must come to pass, but the a end is not yet.
7 For
nation shall rise against nation, and realm against realm, and there
shall be famine, and pestilence, and earthquakes in b diverse places.
8
All these are but the beginning of c sorrows.
9 * Then shall
they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and ye shall
be hated of all nations for my Name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one
another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive
many.
12 And because iniquity shall be increased, the
love of many shall be cold.
13*3 But he that endureth to the
end, he shall be saved.
14 And this d Gospel of the kingdom shall be
preached through the whole e world for a witness unto all
nations, and then shall the end come.
15 ¶
4 When
ye * therefore shall see the
f abomination
of desolation spoken of by * Daniel the
Prophet, set in the holy place (let him that readeth consider it.)
16 Then let them which be in Judea, flee into the
mountains.
17 Let him which is on the house top, not come down to
fetch anything out of his house.
18 And he that is in the field, let not him return back to
fetch his g
clothes.
19 And woe shall be to them that are with child,
and to them that give suck in those days.
20 But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither
on the *h Sabbath day.
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not
from the beginning of the world to this time, nor shall be.
22 And except i those days should be shortened,
there should no j flesh be saved: but for the
elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 * Then if
any shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there, believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false
prophets, and k
shall show great signs and wonders, so that if it were possible, they
should deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in
the desert, go not forth: Behold, he is in the secret places, believe
it not.
27 For as the lightning commeth out of the East, and is
seen into the West, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28
*5 For
wheresoever a dead l carcase is, thither will the
Eagles be gathered together.
29
*6 And
immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall
fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
30 And then shall appear the m sign of the Son of man in
heaven: and then shall all the n kindreds of the earth
o mourn, * and they shall see the Son of man
p come in the
clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 *And he
shall send his Angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall
gather together his elect from the q four winds, and from the
one end of the heavens unto the other.
32
7 Now
learn the parable of the fig tree: when her bough is yet
r tender, and
it putteth forth leaves, ye know that Summer is near.
33 So likewise ye, when ye see all these things, know
that the Kingdom of God is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, this s generation shall not pass, till
all these things be done.
35
*8
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
36
9 But of
that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the Angels of heaven, but my
Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so likewise shall
the coming of the Son of man be.
38 * For as in
the days before the flood, they did t eat and drink, marry, and gave
in marriage, unto the day that Noah entered into the Ark,
39 And knew nothing till the flood came, and took them all
away, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
4010*
Then two shall be in the fields, the one shall be received, the other
shall be refused.
41
u Two
women shall be grinding at the mill: the one shall be received, and
the other shall be refused.
4211*
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your master will come.
43 Of this be sure, that if the goodman of the house knew
at what watch the thief would come, he would surely watch and not
suffer his house to be dug through.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in the hour that ye
think not, will the Son of man come.
45 * Who then
is a faithful servant and wise, whom his master hath made ruler over
his household, to give them meat in season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his master when he
cometh, shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, he shall make him ruler over all
his goods.
48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My
master doth defer his coming,
49 And begin to smite his fellows, and to eat, and to
drink with the drunken,
50 That servant's master will come in a day, when he
looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And will v cut him off, and give him his
portion with hypocrites: * there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
