Matthew 24

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 And Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came to Him 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 rumors 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 by all nations for My name's sake.

10 And then shall many lose faith 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, standing in the holy place (whoso readeth, let him understand),

16 then let them that be in Judea flee unto the mountains.

17 Let him that is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house;

18 neither let him that 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 unless 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 Therefore, if they shall say unto you, `Behold, He is in the desert!' go not forth; or `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 carcass 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 with 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 Noah 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 Noah 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 master 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 into.

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 if that evil servant shall say in his heart, `My lord delayeth his coming,'

49 and shall begin to smite his fellow servants 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.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 As Jesus left the temple courtyard and was walking away, his disciples came to him. They proudly pointed out to him the temple buildings.

2 Jesus said to them, "You see all these buildings, don't you? I can guarantee this truth: Not one of these stones will be left on top of another. Each one will be torn down."

3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately and said, "Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign that you are coming again, and when will the world come to an end?"

4 Jesus answered them, "Be careful not to let anyone deceive you.

5 Many will come using my name. They will say, 'I am the Messiah,' and they will deceive many people.

6 "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. Don't be alarmed! These things must happen, but they don't mean that the end has come.

7 Nation will fight against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8 All of these are only the beginning pains [of the end].

9 "Then they will hand you over to those who will torture and kill you. All nations will hate you because you are committed to me.

10 Then many will lose faith. They will betray and hate each other.

11 Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

12 And because there will be more and more lawlessness, most people's love will grow cold.

13 But the person who endures to the end will be saved.

14 "This Good News about the kingdom will be spread throughout the world as a testimony to all nations. Then the end will come.

15 "The prophet Daniel said that the disgusting thing that will cause destruction will stand in the holy place. When you see this (let the reader take note),

16 those of you in Judea should flee to the mountains.

17 Those who are on the roof should not come down to get anything out of their houses.

18 Those who are in the field should not turn back to get their coats.

19 "How horrible it will be for the women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days.

20 Pray that it will not be winter or a day of worship when you flee.

21 There will be a lot of misery at that time, a kind of misery that has not happened from the beginning of the world until now and will certainly never happen again.

22 If God does not reduce the number of those days, no one will be saved. But those days will be reduced because of those whom God has chosen.

23 "At that time don't believe anyone who tells you, 'Here is the Messiah!' or 'There he is!'

24 False messiahs and false prophets will appear. They will work spectacular, miraculous signs and do wonderful things to deceive, if possible, even those whom God has chosen.

25 Listen! I've told you this before it happens.

26 So if someone tells you, 'He's in the desert!' don't go out [looking for him]. And don't believe anyone who says, 'He's in a secret place!'

27 The Son of Man will come again just as lightning flashes from east to west.

28 Vultures will gather wherever there is a dead body.

29 "Immediately after the misery of those days, the sun will turn dark, the moon will not give light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the universe will be shaken.

30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. All the people on earth will cry in agony when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in the sky with power and great glory.

31 He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and from every direction under the sky, they will gather those whom God has chosen.

32 "Learn from the story of the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and it sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.

33 In the same way, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the door.

34 "I can guarantee this truth: This generation will not disappear until all these things take place.

35 The earth and the heavens will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

36 "No one knows when that day or hour will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son don't know. Only the Father knows.

37 "When the Son of Man comes again, it will be exactly like the days of Noah.

38 In the days before the flood, people were eating, drinking, and getting married until the day that Noah went into the ship.

39 They were not aware of what was happening until the flood came and swept all of them away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes again.

40 "At that time two men will be working in the field. One will be taken, and the other one will be left.

41 Two women will be working at a mill. One will be taken, and the other one will be left.

42 "Therefore, be alert, because you don't know on what day your Lord will return.

43 You realize that if a homeowner had known at what time of the night a thief was coming, he would have stayed awake. He would not have let the thief break into his house.

44 Therefore, you, too, must be ready because the Son of Man will return when you least expect him.

45 "Who, then, is the faithful and wise servant? The master will put that person in charge of giving the other servants their food at the right time.

46 That servant will be blessed if his master finds him doing this job when he comes.

47 I can guarantee this truth: He will put that servant in charge of all his property.

48 On the other hand, that servant, if he is wicked, may think that it will be a long time before his master comes.

49 The servant may begin to beat the other servants and eat and drink with the drunks.

50 His master will return unexpectedly.

51 Then his master will severely punish him and assign him a place with the hypocrites. People will cry and be in extreme pain there.
