预言圣殿被毁(A)

24 耶稣出了圣殿,往前走的时候,门徒前来把圣殿的建筑指给他看。 他对门徒说:“你们不是看见了这一切吗?我实在告诉你们,将来在这里必没有一块石头留在另一块石头上面,每一块都要拆下来。”

这世代终结的预兆(B)

耶稣坐在橄榄山上,门徒暗中前来问他:“请告诉我们,甚么时候会有这些事呢?你的降临和这世代的终结,有甚么预兆呢?” 耶稣回答他们:“你们要小心,不要被人迷惑; 因为许多人要假冒我的名而来,说:‘我就是基督’,并且要迷惑许多的人。 你们要听见战争,也听见战争的风声;你们要小心,不要惊慌,因为这是免不了的,不过结局还没有到。 一个民族要起来攻打另一个民族,一个国家要起来攻打另一个国家,到处都有饥荒和地震, 这一切不过是痛苦的开始。 那时人要把你们送去受苦,也要杀害你们,你们要因我的名被万民恨恶。 10 那时许多人会失去信仰,彼此出卖,互相恨恶; 11 也有许多假先知出现,要迷惑许多人。 12 因为不法的事增加,许多人的爱心就冷淡了。 13 唯有坚忍到底的,必然得救。 14 这天国的福音要传遍天下,向万民作见证,然后结局才来到。

大灾难的日子(C)

15 “当你们看见但以理先知所说的‘那造成荒凉的可憎者’,站在圣地的时候(读者必须领悟), 16 那时,住在犹太的应当逃到山上; 17 在房顶的不要下来拿家里的东西; 18 在田里的也不要回去取衣服。 19 当那些日子,怀孕的和乳养孩子的有祸了! 20 你们应当祈求,叫你们逃难的时候,不是在冬天或安息日, 21 因为那时必有大灾难,这是从世界的开始到现在未曾有过的,以后也必不会再有。 22 如果那些日子不减少,没有一个人可以存活;但是为了选民,那些日子必会减少。 23 那时,如果有人对你们说:‘看哪,基督在这里!’或说:‘他在那里!’你们不要信, 24 因为必有假基督和假先知出现,显大神迹和奇事;如果可以的话,他们连选民也要迷惑。 25 你们看!我已经事先告诉你们了。 26 如果他们对你们说:‘看!基督在旷野里。’你们不要出去;或说:‘看!他在内室里。’也不要相信。 27 电光怎样从东方闪出来,一直照到西方,人子降临的时候,也是这样。 28 尸首在哪里,鹰也必聚在哪里。

人子必驾云降临(D)

29 “那些日子的灾难刚过去:

太阳就变黑了,

月亮也不发光,

众星从天坠落,

天上的万象震动。

30 “那时,人子的征兆要显在天上,地上的万族都要哀号,并且看见人子带着能力,满有荣耀,驾着天上的云降临。 31 当号筒发出响声,他要差派使者,把他的选民从四方,从天这边到天那边都招聚来。

32 “你们应该从无花果树学个功课:树枝长出嫩芽生出叶子的时候,你们就知道夏天近了; 33 同样,当你们看见这一切,就知道人子已经近在门口了。 34 我实在告诉你们,这一切都必要发生,然后这世代才会过去。 35 天地都要过去,但我的话决不会废去。

警醒准备(E)

36 “至于那日子和时间,没有人知道,连天上的使者和子也不知道,只有父知道。 37 挪亚的时代怎样,人子降临的时候也是这样。 38 洪水之前的时代,人们吃喝嫁娶,直到挪亚进入方舟的那一天; 39 等到洪水来到,把他们冲去,他们才明白过来;人子降临的时候也是这样。 40 那时,两个人在田里工作,一个被接去,一个撇下来; 41 两个女人在磨坊推磨,一个被接去,一个撇下来。 42 因此,你们要警醒,因为不知道你们的主甚么时候要来。 43 你们都知道,家主若晓得窃贼晚上甚么时候会来,就会提高警觉,不让他摸进屋里。 44 所以,你们也要准备妥当,因为在想不到的时候,人子就来了。

忠心的仆人有福了(F)

45 “谁是忠心和精明的仆人,被主人指派管理全家,按时分派粮食的呢? 46 主人来到,看见他这样作,那仆人就有福了。 47 我实在告诉你们,主人要指派他管理自己的一切财产。 48 如果他是个坏的仆人,心里说‘我的主人不会那么快回来’, 49 就动手打其他的仆人,又和醉酒的人吃喝。 50 在他想不到的日子,不知道的时间,那仆人的主人要来, 51 严厉地处罚他,使他和虚伪的人同在一起;在那里必要哀哭切齿。”

24 Jesus left the temple and was going away. His disciples came to him. They wanted to show him the different buildings that were a part of the temple.

But Jesus answered them, `Do you see these buildings? I tell you the truth. Not one stone here will be left on top of another stone. They will all be thrown down!'

Jesus was sitting on the hill called the Mount of Olives. The disciples came to him alone. They said, `Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign to show you are coming and that it is the end of this world?'

Jesus answered them, `Take care. Do not let anyone fool you.

Many men will come in my name. They will say, "I am the Christ". They will fool many people.

You will hear about wars. You will hear that war is coming. But do not fear. These things must happen, but that is not yet the end.

One tribe will fight against another tribe. And one country will fight against another country. The people will have no food to eat. Many people will be sick. The earth will shake in many different places.

All these troubles are only the beginning of troubles that will come.

`Then people will trouble you and kill you. All nations will hate you because you are true to me.

10 Then many people will stop believing. They will give one another over to trouble. They will hate one another.

11 Many people will come and say they are prophets of God. But they will not be true. They will fool many people.

12 People will do more and more wrong things and many people will stop loving me.

13 But the person who keeps on being true to me until the end, that one will be saved.

14 This good news about the kingdom will be told in all the world. The people in all countries must know about it. And then the end will come.'

15 `Daniel the prophet said that people would put something very bad in the temple.' (Let the one who reads this understand it.)

16 `When that happens, the people in Judea must go quickly to the hills.

17 A person who is on the top of a house must not go down into the house to get things from the house.

18 A person who is working in the fields must not go back home to get his coat.

19 In those days it will be very hard for women who are to have a child. It will be very hard for mothers who have a baby.

20 Ask God that you may not have to go in the cold time of the year or on the Sabbath day.

21 The trouble then will be bigger than any other trouble since God made the world. And there never will be any trouble as big as that.

22 No person would be saved if the Lord did not cut the time of trouble shorter. He will cut it shorter for the sake of his chosen people.

23 `If anyone says to you then, "Look, here is the Christ!" or "There he is!" do not believe it.

24 People will come and say they are the Christ. People will come and say they are prophets. But they are not true. They will show big signs and do wonderful things to fool people. They will fool God's chosen people if they can.

25 Watch! I have told you these things before they happen.

26 So if people say to you, "He is in the wilderness," do not go there. If they say, "He is hiding somewhere," do not believe it.

27 When lightning shines in the east, it can be seen in the west. It will be like that when the Son of Man comes.

28 The big birds that eat meat will all go to the place where the dead body is.'

29 `Right after that time of trouble, the sun will be dark. The moon will not shine. The stars will fall from the sky. And the powers in the sky will be shaken.

30 Then people will see the sign of the Son of Man in the sky. Then all the people of the earth will cry. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in the sky. He will have much power and will be very great.

31 He will send his angels to call with a loud trumpet or horn. They will gather his chosen people from everywhere all over the earth.'

32 `Learn a lesson from the fig tree. As soon as its branches begin to grow and the leaves come, then you know it will soon be the warm time of the year.

33 It is the same when you see all these things. You will know that the time is very near, right at the door.

34 I tell you the truth. The people who are living then, will not die before all these things happen.

35 The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.'

36 `But no one knows the day and the hour when the Son of Man will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son do not know. Only the Father knows.

37 When the Son of Man comes, it will be as it was in the time of Noah.

38 In the days before the water covered the earth, people ate and drank. They married and gave their daughters to be married. Then one day Noah went into his house built on a boat.

39 The people did not know until much water came and killed them all. When the Son of Man comes, it will be like that.

40 Two men will be working together in the field. One will be taken and the other will be left.

41 Two women will be making flour together. One woman will be taken away and one woman will be left.

42 So watch! You do not know what day your Lord will come.

43 And remember this. The owner of the house does not know at what time of the night a man will come to steal something. If he knew, he would watch and not let the man break into his house.

44 So, be ready! The Son of Man will come at a time when you are not looking for him.

45 `Who is like a wise servant who can be trusted? His master will put him in charge of his other servants. He gives them their food at the right time.

46 The servant who is doing this when his master comes, will be blessed.

47 I tell you the truth. His master will put him in charge of all that he has.

48 But if the servant is bad, he will say to himself, "My master will not come just now."

49 Then he will begin to beat the other servants. He will eat and drink with men who are drunk.

50 The master of that servant will come on a day the servant is not looking for him. He will not know the time he is coming home.

51 The master will punish him and lock him in with people who are not true. People there will cry and grind [make a noise with] their teeth.'

预言圣殿被毁

24 耶稣离开圣殿时,门徒上前把宏伟的圣殿指给祂看。 耶稣对他们说:“你们看见这殿宇了吗?我实在告诉你们,将来它要被完全拆毁,在这里找不到两块叠在一起的石头。”

世界末日的预兆

耶稣正坐在橄榄山上,门徒私下来问祂:“请告诉我们,这事什么时候会发生?你再来和世界末日的时候会有什么预兆?”

耶稣回答说:“你们要小心,免得被人迷惑。 因为将来会有许多人冒我的名而来,说,‘我是基督’欺骗许多人。 你们听见战争爆发、战讯频传时,不要惊慌,因为这些事必然发生,只是末日还没有到。 民族将与民族互斗,国家将与国家相争,各处将有饥荒和地震。 这些只是灾难[a]的开始。

“那时,你们将遭人迫害、杀害,并因我的名而被万民憎恨。 10 那时,许多人会放弃信仰,互相出卖,彼此憎恨。 11 许多假先知也会出现,迷惑许多人。 12 由于罪恶泛滥,许多人的爱逐渐冷淡。 13 但坚忍到底的必定得救。 14 这天国的福音将传遍天下,让万民都听见,然后末日才会来临。

15 “当你们看见但以理先知所说的‘那带来毁灭的可憎之物’站立在圣地的时候(读者须会意), 16 住在犹太地区的人要赶快逃到山上去, 17 在屋顶上的人不要下来进屋收拾行李, 18 在田间工作的人也不要回家取外衣。 19 那时,孕妇和哺育婴儿的母亲们可就遭殃了! 20 你们要祈求上帝,不要让你们在冬天或安息日逃难。 21 因为那时世上将有空前绝后的大灾难。 22 如果不缩短灾期,恐怕没有人能活命。但为了选民的缘故,灾期必被缩短。

23 “那时,如果有人对你们说,‘看啊!基督在这里’,或说,‘基督在那里’,你们不要相信。 24 因为假基督和假先知将出现,行很大的神迹奇事来迷惑人,如果可能,甚至要迷惑上帝拣选的子民。 25 你们要记住,我已经预先告诉你们了。

26 “因此,如果有人对你们说,‘看啊!基督在旷野’,你们不要出去;或者说,‘看啊!基督在屋里’,你们也不要相信。 27 人子降临时的情形就像闪电从东方发出一直照到西方。 28 尸体在哪里,秃鹰就会聚集在哪里。

29 “当灾难的日子一过,

“‘太阳变黑,
月亮无光,
众星陨落,
天体震动。’

30 “那时,天上会出现人子降临的预兆,地上的万族都要哀哭,他们将看见人子带着能力和极大的荣耀驾着天上的云降临。 31 在响亮的号声中,祂将差遣天使从四面八方、天涯海角招聚祂拣选的人。

无花果树的比喻

32 “你们可以从无花果树学个道理。当无花果树发芽长叶的时候,你们就知道夏天快来了。 33 同样,当你们看见这一切事发生时,就知道人子快来了,就在门口。 34 我实在告诉你们,这个世代还没有过去,这一切都要发生。 35 天地都要过去,但我的话永远长存。

警醒准备

36 “但没有人知道那日子和时辰何时来到,连天上的天使也不知道,人子[b]也不知道,只有天父知道。 37 人子降临时的情形就像挪亚的时代。 38 洪水来临之前,人们吃吃喝喝,男婚女嫁,一直到挪亚进方舟那天; 39 他们懵然不知,直到洪水来把他们全冲走了。人子降临时的情形也是这样。 40 那时,两个人在田里,一个将被接去,一个将被撇下; 41 两个妇人推磨,一个将被接去,一个将被撇下。 42 所以,你们要警醒,因为你们不知道你们的主会在哪一天来。 43 你们都知道,如果一家的主人知道贼会在半夜几点来,就必警醒,不让贼入屋偷窃。 44 同样,你们也要做好准备,因为在你们意想不到的时候,人子就来了。

两种奴仆

45 “谁是那个受主人委托管理家中大小仆役、按时分粮食给他们、又忠心又精明的奴仆呢? 46 主人回家时,看见他尽忠职守,他就有福了。 47 我实在告诉你们,主人一定会把所有产业都交给他管理。 48 但如果奴仆邪恶,以为主人不会那么快回来, 49 就殴打同伴,跟醉汉一起吃喝玩乐, 50 主人会在他想不到的日子、不知道的时辰回来, 51 严厉地惩罚[c]他,判他和伪君子同样的罪。他必在那里哀哭切齿。
