1Now <2532> as Jesus <2424> was going out <1831> of <575> the temple courts <2411> and <2532> walking away <4198>, his <846> disciples <3101> came <4334> to show <1925> him <846> the temple <2411> buildings <3619>.
2And <1161> he said <2036> said <611> to them <846>, “Do <3756> you see <991> all <3956> these things <5023>? I tell <3004> you <5213> the truth <281>, not <3756> <3361> one stone <3037> will be left <863> on <1909> another <3037>. All will be torn down <2647>!”
3As <2521> he <846> was sitting <2521> on <1909> the Mount <3735> of Olives <1636>, his disciples <3101> came <4334> to him <846> privately <2398> and said <3004>, “Tell <3004> us <2254>, when <4219> will <1510> these things <5023> happen <1510>? And <2532> what <5101> will be the sign <4592> of your <4674> coming <3952> and <2532> of the end <4930> of the age <165>?”
4Jesus <2424> answered <611> them <846>, “Watch out <991> that no <3361> one <5100> misleads <4105> you <5209>.
5For <1063> many <4183> will come <2064> in <1909> my <3450> name <3686>, saying <3004>, ‘I <1473> am <1510> the Christ <5547>,’ and <2532> they will mislead <4105> many <4183>.
6You will <3195> hear <191> of wars <4171> and <2532> rumors <189> of wars <4171>. Make sure <3708> that you are <2360> not <3361> alarmed <2360>, for <1063> this must <1163> happen <1096>, but <235> the end <5056> is <1510> still to come <3768>.
7For <1063> nation <1484> will rise up <1453> in arms against <1909> nation <1484>, and <2532> kingdom <932> against <1909> kingdom <932>. And <2532> there will be <1510> famines <3042> and <2532> earthquakes <4578> in <2596> various places <5117>.
8All <3956> these things <5023> are the beginning <746> of birth pains <5604>.
9“Then <5119> they will hand <3860> you <5209> over <3860> to <1519> be persecuted <2347> and <2532> will kill <615> you <5209>. You will be <1510> hated <3404> by <5259> all <3956> the nations <1484> because <1223> of my <3450> name <3686>.
10Then <5119> many <4183> will be led into sin <4624>, and <2532> they will betray <3860> one another <240> and <2532> hate <3404> one another <240>.
11And <2532> many <4183> false prophets <5578> will appear <1453> and <2532> deceive <4105> many <4183>,
12and <2532> because <1223> lawlessness <458> will increase so much <4129>, the love <26> of many <4183> will grow cold <5594>.
13But <1161> the person <3778> who endures <5278> to <1519> the end <5056> will be saved <4982>.
14And <2532> this <5124> gospel <2098> of the kingdom <932> will be preached <2784> throughout <1722> the whole <3650> inhabited earth <3625> as <1519> a testimony <3142> to all <3956> the nations <1484>, and <2532> then <5119> the end <5056> will come <2240>.
15“So <3767> when <3752> you see <1492> the abomination <946> of desolation <2050>– spoken <4483> about by <1223> Daniel <1158> the prophet <4396>– standing <2476> in <1722> the holy <40> place <5117> (let the reader <314> understand <3539>),
16then <5119> those in <1722> Judea <2449> must flee <5343> to <1519> the mountains <3735>.
17The one on <1909> the roof <1430> must <2597> not <3361> come down <2597> to take <142> anything out of <1537> his <846> house <3614>,
18and <2532> the one in <1722> the field <68> must <1994> not <3361> turn <1994> back <3694> to get <142> his <846> cloak <2440>.
19Woe <3759> to those who are pregnant <2192> pregnant <1722> <1064> and <2532> to those who are nursing <2337> their babies <2337> in <1722> those <1565> days <2250>!
20Pray <4336> that your <5216> flight <5437> may <2443> not <3361> be <1096> in winter <5494> or <3366> on a Sabbath <4521>.
21For <1063> then <5119> there will be <1510> great <3173> suffering <2347> unlike <3634> <3756> anything that has happened <1096> from <575> the beginning <746> of the world <2889> until <2193> now <3568>, or <3761> <3756> <3361> ever will happen <1096>.
22And <2532> if <1487> those <1565> days <2250> had <2856> not <3361> been cut short <2856>, no one <3756> would <302> be saved <4982>. But for the sake <4561> of <1223> the elect <1588> those <1565> days <2250> will be cut short <2856>.
23Then <5119> if <1437> anyone <5100> says <2036> to you <5213>, ‘Look <2400>, here <5602> is the Christ <5547>!’ or <2228> ‘There <5602> he is!’ do <4100> not <3361> believe <4100> him.
24For <1063> false messiahs <5580> and <2532> false prophets <5578> will appear <1453> and <2532> perform <1325> great <3173> signs <4592> and <2532> wonders <5059> to <5620> deceive <4105>, if <1487> possible <1415>, even <2532> the elect <1588>.
25Remember <2400>, I have told <4280> you <5213> ahead of time <4280>.
26So <3767> then, if <1437> someone says to you <5213>, ‘Look <2400>, he is <1510> in <1722> the wilderness <2048>,’ do <1831> not <3361> go out <1831>, or ‘Look <2400>, he is in <1722> the inner rooms <5009>,’ do <4100> not <3361> believe <4100> him.
27For <1063> just <5618> like the lightning <796> comes <1831> from <575> the east <395> and <2532> flashes <5316> to <2193> the west <1424>, so <3779> the coming <3952> of the Son <5207> of Man <444> will be <1510>.
28Wherever <3699> the corpse <4430> is <1510>, there <1563> the vultures <105> will gather <4863>.
29“Immediately <2112> after <3326> the suffering <2347> of those <1565> days <2250>, the <3588> sun <2246> will be darkened <4654>, and <2532> the <3588> moon <4582> will <1325> not <3756> give <1325> its <846> light <5338>; the stars <792> will fall <4098> from <575> heaven <3772>, and <2532> the powers <1411> of heaven <3772> will be shaken <4531>.
30Then <5119> the sign <4592> of the Son <5207> of Man <444> will appear <5316> in <1722> heaven <3772>, and <2532> all <3956> the tribes <5443> of the earth <1093> will mourn <2875>. They will see <3700> the Son <5207> of Man <444> arriving <2064> on <1909> the clouds <3507> of heaven <3772> with <3326> power <1411> and <2532> great <4183> glory <1391>.
31And <2532> he will send <649> his <846> angels <32> with <3326> a loud <3173> trumpet <4536> blast <3173>, and <2532> they will gather <1996> his <846> elect <1588> from <1537> the four <5064> winds <417>, from <575> one end <206> of heaven <3772> to <2193> the other <206>.
32“Learn <3129> this parable <3850> from <575> the fig tree <4808>: Whenever <3752> its <846> branch <2798> becomes <1096> tender <527> and <2532> puts out <1631> its leaves <5444>, you know <1097> that <3754> summer <2330> is near <1451>.
33So <3779> also <2532> you <5210>, when <3752> you see <1492> all <3956> these things <3778>, know <1097> that <3754> he is <1510> near, right <1451> at <1909> the door <2374>.
34I tell <3004> you <5213> the truth <281>, this <3778> generation <1074> will <3928> not <3756> <3361> pass away <3928> until <2193> all <3956> these things <5023> take place <1096>.
35Heaven <3772> and <2532> earth <1093> will pass away <3928>, but <1161> my <3450> words <3056> will <3928> never <3756> <3361> pass away <3928>.
36“But <1161> as for <4012> that <1565> day <2250> and <2532> hour <5610> no one <3762> knows <1492> it– not even <3761> the angels <32> in heaven <3772>– except <1487> <3361> the Father <3962> alone <3441>.
37For <1063> just <5618> like the days <2250> of Noah <3575> were, so <3779> the coming <3952> of the Son <5207> of Man <444> will be <1510>.
38For <1063> in <1722> those <1565> days <2250> before <4253> the flood <2627>, people were eating <5176> and <2532> drinking <4095>, marrying <1060> and <2532> giving in marriage <1061>, until <891> the day <2250> Noah <3575> entered <1525> the ark <2787>.
39And <2532> they knew <1097> nothing <3756> until <2193> the flood <2627> came <2064> and <2532> took <142> them all <537> away <142>. It will be <1510> the same at the coming <3952> of the Son <5207> of Man <444>.
40Then <5119> there will be <1510> two <1417> men in <1722> the field <68>; one <1520> will be taken <3880> and <2532> one <1520> left <863>.
41There will be <229> two <1417> women grinding grain <229> with <1722> a mill <3458>; one <1520> will be taken <3880> and <2532> one <1520> left <863>.
42“Therefore <3767> stay alert <1127>, because <3754> you do <1492> not <3756> know <1492> on what <4169> day <2250> your <5216> Lord <2962> will come <2064>.
43But <1161> understand <1097> this <1565>: If <1487> the owner of the house <3617> had known <1492> at what <4169> time of night <5438> the thief <2812> was coming <2064>, he would have been alert <1127> and <2532> would <1439> not <3756> have let <1439> his <846> house <3614> be broken into <1358>.
44Therefore <1223> <5124> you <5210> also <2532> must be <1096> ready <2092>, because <3754> the Son <5207> of Man <444> will come <2064> at an hour <5610> when you do <1380> not <3756> expect <1380> him.
45“Who <5101> then <687> is <1510> the faithful <4103> and <2532> wise <5429> slave <1401>, whom <3739> the master <2962> has put in charge <2525> of <1909> his <846> household <3610>, to give <1325> the other slaves their <846> food <5160> at <1722> the proper time <2540>?
46Blessed <3107> is that <1565> slave <1401> whom <3739> the master <2962> finds <2147> at work <4160> when he comes <2064>.
47I tell <3004> you <5213> the truth <281>, the master will put <2525> him <846> in charge <2525> of <1909> all <3956> his <846> possessions <5224>.
48But <1161> if <1437> that evil <2556> slave <1401> should say <2036> to <1722> himself <2588> <846>, ‘My <3450> master <2962> is staying away a long time <5549>,’
49and <2532> he begins <756> to beat <5180> his <846> fellow slaves <4889> and <1161> to eat <2068> and <2532> drink <4095> with <3326> drunkards <3184>,
50then the master <2962> of that <1565> slave <1401> will come <2240> on <1722> a day <2250> when he does <4328> not <3756> expect <4328> him and <2532> at <1722> an hour <5610> he does <1097> not <3756> foresee <1097>,
51and <2532> will cut <1371> him <846> in two, and <2532> assign <3313> him <846> a place with <3326> the hypocrites <5273>, where <5087> there <1563> will be <1510> weeping <2805> and <2532> gnashing <1030> of teeth <3599>.
