Matthew 24:15-35
Darby Translation
Matthew 24:15-35
Darby Translation
15 When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which is spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in [what is a] holy place, (he that reads let him understand,)
16 then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;
17 let not him that is on the house come down to take the things out of his house;
18 and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.
19 But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.
20 But pray that your flight may not be in winter time nor on sabbath:
21 for then shall there be great tribulation, such as has not been from [the] beginning of [the] world until now, nor ever shall be;
22 and if those days had not been cut short, no flesh had been saved; but on account of the elect those days shall be cut short.
23 Then if any one say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here, believe [it] not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall give great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
25 Behold, I have told you beforehand.
26 If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert, go not forth; behold, [he is] in the inner chambers, do not believe [it].
27 For as the lightning goes forth from the east and shines to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
28 [For] wherever the carcase is, there will be gathered the eagles.
29 But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon 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 land lament, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from [the one] extremity of [the] heavens to [the other] extremity of them.
32 But learn the parable from the fig-tree: When already its branch becomes tender and produces leaves, ye know that the summer is near.
33 Thus also *ye*, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors.
34 Verily I say to you, This generation will not have passed away until all these things shall have taken place.
35 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.

Matthew 24:15-35
New International Version
Matthew 24:15-35
New International Version
15 “So when you see standing in the holy place(A) ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a](B) spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop(C) go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!(D) 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.(E)
22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect(F) those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.(G) 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders(H) to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning(I) that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming(J) of the Son of Man.(K) 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.(L)
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b](M)
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn(N) when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven,(O) with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels(P) with a loud trumpet call,(Q) and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[e] is near, right at the door.(R) 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.(S) 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(T)
