Chapter 24
(Mat 24 KJV) And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and
his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple.
{2} And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say
unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that
shall not be thrown down. {3} And as he sat upon the mount of Olives,
the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these
things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of
the world? {4} 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 end is not yet. {7} For nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and
pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. {8} All these are the
beginning of 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 rise, and shall deceive many. {12} And because iniquity shall
abound, the love of many shall wax cold. {13} But he that shall endure
unto the end, the same shall be saved. {14} And this
gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness
unto all nations; and then shall the end come. {15} When ye therefore
shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:) {16} Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the
mountains: {17} Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take
any thing out of his house: {18} Neither let him which is in the field
return back to take his clothes. {19} And woe unto them that are with
child, and to them that give suck in those days! {20} But pray ye that
your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: {21} For
then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of
the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. {22} And except those
days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the
elect's sake those days shall be shortened. {23} Then if any man shall
say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. {24} For
there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show
great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall
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 chambers; believe it not. {27}
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the
west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. {28} For
wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
{29} 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 the heavens shall be shaken: {30}
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then
shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of
man coming 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 four winds, from one end of heaven to
the other. {32} Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is
yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: {33}
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is
near, even at the doors. {34} Verily I say unto you, This generation
shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. {35} Heaven and
earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. {36} 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 Noe were, so shall also the coming
of the Son of man be. {38} For as in the days that were before the flood
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until
the day that Noe entered into the ark, {39} And knew not until the flood
came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be. {40} Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the
other left. {41} Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall
be taken, and the other left. {42} Watch therefore: for ye know not what
hour your Lord doth come. {43} But know this, that if the goodman of the
house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have
watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. {44}
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son
of man cometh. {45} Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his
lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due
season? {46} Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall
find so doing. {47} Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler
over all his goods. {48} But and if that evil servant shall say in his
heart, My lord delayeth his coming; {49} And shall begin to smite his
fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; {50} The lord of
that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an
hour that he is not aware of, {51} And shall cut him asunder, and
appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
