Matthew 24:15-35

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁵ Therefore when ye see the abomination of discomfort [Therefore when ye shall see the abomination of discording], that is said of Daniel, the prophet, standing in the holy place; he that readeth, understand he [he that readeth, understand];

¹⁶ then they that be in Judaea, flee to the mountains;

¹⁷ and he that is in the house roof, come not down to take any thing of his house;

¹⁸ and he that is in the field, turn not again to take his coat.

¹⁹ But woe to them that be with child, and nourishing in those days [and nursing in those days].

²⁰ [Soothly] Pray ye, that your flying be not made in winter, or in the sabbath.

²¹ For then shall be great tribulation, what manner was not from the beginning of the world to now [what manner was not from the beginning of the world till now], neither shall be made.

²² And but those days had been abridged, each flesh should not be made safe^[a]; but those days shall be made short, for the chosen men.

²³ Then if any man [shall] say to you, Lo! here is Christ, or there, do not ye believe.

²⁴ For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and they shall give great tokens and wonders [and they shall give great signs and wonders]; so that also the chosen be led into error, if it may be done.

²⁵ Lo! I have before-said to you.

²⁶ Therefore if they [shall] say to you, Lo! he is in desert, do not ye go out; lo! he is in privy places [lo! in privy chambers, or places], do not ye believe.

²⁷ For as lightning goeth out from the east, and appeareth [till] into the west, so shall be also the coming of man's Son.

²⁸ Where ever the body shall be, also the eagles shall be gathered thither.

²⁹ And at once [Forsooth anon] after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be made dark, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the virtues of heavens shall be moved [and the virtues of heavens shall be stirred].

³⁰ And then the token of man's Son shall appear in heaven, and then all the kindreds of the earth shall wail [and then all the kindreds, or lineages, of the earth shall wail]; and they shall see man's Son coming in the clouds of heaven, with much virtue and majesty.

³¹ And he shall send his angels with a trumpet, and a great voice; and they shall gather his chosen from four winds, from the highest things of heaven to the ends of them. [And he shall send his angels with a trump, and great voice; and they shall gather his chosen from four winds, from the highest things of heavens till to the terms, or ends, of them.]

³² And learn ye the parable of the fig tree. When his branch is now tender, and the leaves be sprung, ye know that summer is nigh;

³³ so and ye when ye shall see all these things [so also when ye shall see all these things], know ye that it is nigh, in the gates.

³⁴ Truly I say to you, for this generation shall not pass, till all things be done;

³⁵ heaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not pass.
