馬太福音 24
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
預言聖殿被毀
24 耶穌出了聖殿,正走的時候,門徒進前來,把殿宇指給他看。 2 耶穌對他們說:「你們不是看見這殿宇嗎?我實在告訴你們:將來在這裡沒有一塊石頭留在石頭上不被拆毀了。」
耶穌降臨的預兆
3 耶穌在橄欖山上坐著,門徒暗暗地來,說:「請告訴我們,什麼時候有這些事?你降臨和世界的末了有什麼預兆呢?」 4 耶穌回答說:「你們要謹慎,免得有人迷惑你們。 5 因為將來有好些人冒我的名來,說:『我是基督』,並且要迷惑許多人。 6 你們也要聽見打仗和打仗的風聲,總不要驚慌,因為這些事是必須有的,只是末期還沒有到。 7 民要攻打民,國要攻打國,多處必有饑荒、地震, 8 這都是災難[a]的起頭。 9 那時,人要把你們陷在患難裡,也要殺害你們;你們又要為我的名被萬民恨惡。
忍耐到底必要得救
10 「那時,必有許多人跌倒,也要彼此陷害、彼此恨惡, 11 且有好些假先知起來,迷惑多人。 12 只因不法的事增多,許多人的愛心才漸漸冷淡了。 13 唯有忍耐到底的,必然得救。 14 這天國的福音要傳遍天下,對萬民作見證,然後末期才來到。
15 「你們看見先知但以理所說的『那行毀壞可憎的』站在聖地——讀這經的人須要會意—— 16 那時,在猶太的,應當逃到山上; 17 在房上的,不要下來拿家裡的東西; 18 在田裡的,也不要回去取衣裳。 19 當那些日子,懷孕的和奶孩子的有禍了!
為選民要減少災難的日子
20 「你們應當祈求,叫你們逃走的時候,不遇見冬天或是安息日。 21 因為那時必有大災難,從世界的起頭直到如今沒有這樣的災難,後來也必沒有。 22 若不減少那日子,凡有血氣的總沒有一個得救的;只是為選民,那日子必減少了。 23 那時,若有人對你們說『基督在這裡』,或說『基督在那裡』,你們不要信。 24 因為假基督、假先知將要起來,顯大神蹟、大奇事,倘若能行,連選民也就迷惑了。 25 看哪,我預先告訴你們了! 26 若有人對你們說『看哪,基督在曠野裡』,你們不要出去;或說『看哪,基督在內屋中』,你們不要信。 27 閃電從東邊發出,直照到西邊,人子降臨也要這樣。 28 屍首在哪裡,鷹也必聚在那裡。
29 「那些日子的災難一過去,『日頭就變黑了,月亮也不放光,眾星要從天上墜落,天勢都要震動。』 30 那時,人子的兆頭要顯在天上,地上的萬族都要哀哭。他們要看見人子有能力、有大榮耀駕著天上的雲降臨。 31 他要差遣使者,用號筒的大聲,將他的選民從四方[b],從天這邊到天那邊,都招聚了來。
從無花果樹學比方
32 「你們可以從無花果樹學個比方。當樹枝發嫩長葉的時候,你們就知道夏天近了。 33 這樣,你們看見這一切的事,也該知道人子近了,正在門口了。 34 我實在告訴你們:這世代還沒有過去,這些事都要成就。 35 天地要廢去,我的話卻不能廢去。 36 但那日子、那時辰,沒有人知道,連天上的使者也不知道,子也不知道,唯獨父知道。 37 挪亞的日子怎樣,人子降臨也要怎樣。 38 當洪水以前的日子,人照常吃喝嫁娶,直到挪亞進方舟的那日, 39 不知不覺洪水來了,把他們全都沖去。人子降臨也要這樣。 40 那時,兩個人在田裡,取去一個,撇下一個; 41 兩個女人推磨,取去一個,撇下一個。 42 所以,你們要警醒,因為不知道你們的主是哪一天來到。 43 家主若知道幾更天有賊來,就必警醒,不容人挖透房屋,這是你們所知道的。 44 所以,你們也要預備,因為你們想不到的時候,人子就來了。
善僕與惡僕的報應
45 「誰是忠心有見識的僕人,為主人所派管理家裡的人,按時分糧給他們呢? 46 主人來到,看見他這樣行,那僕人就有福了。 47 我實在告訴你們:主人要派他管理一切所有的。 48 倘若那惡僕心裡說『我的主人必來得遲』, 49 就動手打他的同伴,又和酒醉的人一同吃喝, 50 在想不到的日子,不知道的時辰,那僕人的主人要來, 51 重重地處治他[c],定他和假冒為善的人同罪,在那裡必要哀哭切齒了。

New American Standard Bible
Signs of Christ’s Return
24 (A)Jesus (B)left the temple area and was going on His way [a]when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him. 2 But He responded and said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, (C)not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.”
3 And as He was sitting on (D)the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of (E)Your coming, and of the [b]end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them, “(F)See to it that no one [c]misleads you. 5 For (G)many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the [d]Christ,’ and they will [e]mislead many people. 6 And you will be hearing of (H)wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. 7 For (I)nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be (J)famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 (K)But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pains.
9 “(L)Then they will hand you over to tribulation and kill you, and (M)you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10 And at that time many will [f](N)fall away, and they will [g]betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many (O)false prophets will rise up and [h]mislead many people. 12 And because lawlessness is increased, [i]most people’s love will become cold. 13 (P)But the one who endures to the end is the one who will be saved. 14 This (Q)gospel of the kingdom (R)shall be preached in the whole [j](S)world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Perilous Times
15 “Therefore when you see the (T)abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in (U)the holy place—[k](V)let the [l]reader understand— 16 then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 17 [m]Whoever is on (W)the [n]housetop must not go down to get things out of his house. 18 And [o]whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 19 But (X)woe to those women who are pregnant, and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 Moreover, pray that [p]when you flee, it will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be a (Y)great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will again. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no [q]life would have been saved; but for (Z)the sake of the [r]elect those days will be cut short. 23 (AA)Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the [s]Christ,’ or ‘He is over here,’ do not believe him. 24 For false christs and (AB)false prophets will arise and will provide great [t](AC)signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even (AD)the [u]elect. 25 Behold, I have told you in advance. 26 So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them. 27 (AE)For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will the (AF)coming of the (AG)Son of Man [v]be. 28 (AH)Wherever the corpse is, there the [w]vultures will gather.
The Glorious Return
29 “But immediately after the (AI)tribulation of those days (AJ)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and (AK)the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then (AL)the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see (AM)the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 31 And (AN)He will send forth His angels with (AO)a great trumpet blast, and they will gather together His [x](AP)elect from (AQ)the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
Parable of the Fig Tree
32 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: as soon as its branch has become tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near; 33 so you too, when you see all these things, [y]recognize that [z]He is near, right (AR)at the [aa]door. 34 Truly I say to you, (AS)this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 35 (AT)Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
36 “But (AU)about that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 37 For [ab]the (AV)coming of the Son of Man will be (AW)just like the days of Noah. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, (AX)marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that (AY)Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not [ac]understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the (AZ)coming of the Son of Man be. 40 At that time there will be two men in the field; one [ad]will be taken and one [ae]will be left. 41 (BA)Two women will be grinding at the [af](BB)mill; one [ag]will be taken and one [ah]will be left.
Be Ready for His Coming
42 “Therefore (BC)be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. 43 But [ai]be sure of this, that (BD)if the head of the house had known (BE)at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 44 For this reason (BF)you must be ready as well; for (BG)the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.
45 “(BH)Who then is the (BI)faithful and (BJ)sensible slave whom his [aj]master (BK)put in charge of his household slaves, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Blessed is that slave whom his [ak]master finds so doing when he comes. 47 Truly I say to you that (BL)he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But if that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My [al]master [am]is not coming for a long time,’ 49 and he begins to beat his fellow slaves, and he eats and drinks with those habitually drunk; 50 then the [an]master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect, and at an hour that he does not know, 51 and he will [ao]cut him in two and assign [ap]him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be (BM)weeping and gnashing of teeth.
