马太福音 24
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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。 2 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
3 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？”
4 耶稣回答说：“你们要小心，免得被人迷惑。 5 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。 6 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。 7 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。 8 这些只是灾难[a]的开始。
9 “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。

预言圣殿被毁(A)
24 耶稣出了圣殿，正离开的时候，门徒前来，把圣殿的建筑指给他看。 2 耶稣回应他们说：“你们不是看见这一切吗？我实在告诉你们，这里将没有一块石头会留在另一块石头上，而不被拆毁的。”
终局的预兆(B)
3 耶稣在橄榄山上坐着，门徒私下进前来问他：“请告诉我们，什么时候有这些事呢？你来临和世代的终结有什么预兆呢？” 4 耶稣回答他们：“你们要谨慎，免得有人迷惑你们。 5 因为将有好些人冒我的名来，说‘我是基督’，并且要迷惑许多人。 6 你们也将听见打仗和打仗的风声。注意，不要惊慌！因为这些事必须发生，但这还不是终结。 7 民要攻打民，国要攻打国，多处必有饥荒、地震。 8 这都是灾难[a]的起头。 9 那时，人要使你们陷在患难里，也要杀害你们；你们又要为我的名被万民憎恨。 10 那时，会有许多人跌倒，也会彼此陷害，彼此憎恨； 11 且有好些假先知起来，迷惑许多人。 12 因为不法的事增多，许多人的爱心渐渐冷淡了。 13 但坚忍到底的终必得救。 14 这天国的福音要传遍天下，对万民作见证，然后终结才来到。”
大灾难(C)
15 “当你们看见先知但以理所说的那‘施行毁灭的亵渎者’站在圣地（读这经的人要会意）， 16 那时，在犹太的，应当逃到山上； 17 在屋顶上的，不要下来拿家里的东西； 18 在田里的，不要回去取衣裳。 19 在那些日子，怀孕的和奶孩子的就苦了。 20 你们要祈求，好让你们逃走的时候，不遇见冬天或安息日。 21 因为那时必有大灾难，自从世界的起头直到如今，从没有这样的灾难，将来也不会有。 22 若不减少那些日子，凡血肉之躯的，就没有一个能得救；可是为了选民，那些日子将减少。 23 那时，若有人对你们说：‘看哪，基督在这里！’或‘在那里！’你们不要信。 24 因为假基督和假先知将要起来，显大神迹、大奇事，如果可能，要把选民也迷惑了。 25 看哪，我已经预先告诉你们了。 26 若有人对你们说：‘看哪，基督在旷野里！’你们不要出去；或说：‘看哪，基督在内室中！’你们不要信。 27 好像闪电从东边发出，直照到西边，人子来临也要这样。 28 尸首在哪里，鹰也会聚在哪里。”
人子的来临(D)
29 “那些日子的灾难一过去，
太阳要变黑，
月亮也不放光，
众星要从天上坠落，
天上的万象都要震动。
30 那时，人子的预兆要显在天上，地上的万族都要哀哭。他们要看见人子带着能力和大荣耀，驾着天上的云来临。 31 他要差遣天使，用大声的号筒，从四方，从天这边直到天那边，召集他的选民。”
从无花果树学功课(E)
32 “你们要从无花果树学习功课：当树枝发芽长叶的时候，你们就知道夏天近了。 33 同样，当你们看见这一切，就知道那时候近了，就在门口了。 34 我实在告诉你们，这世代还没有过去，这一切都要发生。 35 天地要废去，我的话却绝不废去。”
那日那时没有人知道(F)
36 “但那日子，那时辰，没有人知道，连天上的天使也不知道，子也不知道，惟有父知道。 37 挪亚的日子怎样，人子来临也要怎样。 38 在洪水以前的那些日子，人照常吃喝嫁娶，直到挪亚进方舟的那日， 39 不知不觉洪水来了，把他们全都冲去。人子来临也要这样。 40 那时，两个人在田里，一个被接去，一个被撇下。 41 两个女人推磨，一个被接去，一个被撇下。 42 所以，你们要警醒，因为不知道你们的主哪一天来到。 43 你们要知道，一家的主人若知道晚上什么时候有贼来，就必警醒，不让贼挖穿房屋。 44 所以，你们也要预备，因为在你们想不到的时候，人子就来了。”
忠心和不忠心的仆人(G)
45 “那么，谁是那忠心又精明的仆人，主人派他管理自己的家仆、按时分粮给他们的呢？ 46 主人来到，看见仆人这样做，那仆人就有福了。 47 我实在告诉你们，主人要派他管理所有的财产。 48 如果那恶仆心里说：‘我的主人会来得迟’， 49 就动手打他的同伴，又和醉酒的人一同吃喝， 50 在想不到的日子，不知道的时候，那仆人的主人要来， 51 重重地惩罚他[b]，定他和假冒为善的人同罪，在那里他要哀哭切齿了。”
Matthew 24
Expanded Bible
The Temple Will Be Destroyed(A)
24 As Jesus left the Temple [courts] and was walking away, his ·followers [disciples] came up to ·show [point out to] him the Temple’s buildings. 2 Jesus asked, “Do you see all these buildings? I tell you the truth, not one stone will be left on another. Every stone will be ·thrown [pulled; torn] down.”
3 Later, as Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his ·followers [disciples] came to be alone with him. They said, “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign ·that it is time for you to come again [of your coming/return] and ·for this age to end [the end/consummation of the age]?”
4 Jesus answered, “·Be careful [Watch out] that no one ·fools [misleads; deceives] you. 5 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the ·Christ [Messiah],’ and they will ·fool [mislead; deceive] many people. 6 You will hear about wars and ·stories of wars that are coming [rumors/reports of wars], but don’t be ·afraid [alarmed]. These things must happen ·before the end comes [or but that is not yet the end]. 7 Nations will ·fight [L rise up] against other nations, and kingdoms against other kingdoms. There will be ·times when there is no food for people to eat [famines], and there will be earthquakes in ·different [various] places. 8 All these things are ·like the first pains when something new is about to be born [L the beginning of the birth pains].
9 “Then people will arrest you, hand you over to be ·hurt [persecuted; tortured], and kill you. ·They [The world; L All nations] will hate you because ·you believe in me [you follow me; L of my name]. 10 At that time, many will ·lose their faith [turn/fall away], and they will ·turn against [betray] each other and hate each other. 11 Many false prophets will ·come [appear; arise] and ·cause many people to believe lies [deceive many]. 12 There will be more and more ·evil [sin; lawlessness] in the world, so ·most people will stop showing their love for each other [L the love of many/most will grow cold]. 13 But those people who ·keep their faith [endure; stand firm; persevere] until the end will be saved. 14 ·The Good News [This Gospel] about God’s kingdom will be preached in all the world, [L as a testimony] to every nation. Then the end will come.
15 “You will see ‘·a blasphemous object that brings destruction [T the abomination of desolation; C a phrase taken from Dan. 9:27; 11:31; 12:11, and originally referring to the desecration of the Temple by Antiochus Epiphanes in 168 bc],’ which Daniel the prophet spoke about. ·It [or He] will be standing in the holy place.” (You who read this should understand what it means [C probably a reference to the soon-to-occur destruction of Jerusalem in ad 70].) 16 “At that time, the people in Judea should ·run away [flee] to the mountains. 17 If people are on the roofs of their houses [C roofs in Palestine were flat and used as spare rooms and for storage], they must not go down to get anything out of their houses. 18 If people are in the fields, they must not go back to get their ·coats [cloaks]. 19 At that time, ·how terrible it will be for [L woe to] women who are pregnant or have nursing babies! 20 Pray that it will not be ·winter [bad weather] or a Sabbath day when these things happen and you have to run away, 21 because at that time there will be much ·trouble [distress; T tribulation]. There will be more ·trouble [distress; T tribulation]. than there has ever been since the beginning of the world until now, and nothing as bad will ever happen again [Dan. 12:1]. 22 ·God has decided to make that terrible time short [L If those days had not been shortened (by God)…; C the passive verb implies God as subject]. Otherwise, no one would ·go on living [survive; L be saved]. But God will make that time short ·to help the people he has chosen [for the sake of the elect]. 23 At that time, someone might say to you, ‘Look, there is the ·Christ [Messiah]!’ Or another person might say, ‘There he is!’ But don’t believe them. 24 False ·Christs [messiahs] and false prophets will ·come [appear; rise up] and perform great ·wonders [signs; miracles] and ·miracles [wonders; marvels]. They will try to ·fool [mislead; deceive] even the ·people God has chosen [elect], if that is possible. 25 Now I have warned you about this before it happens.
26 “If people tell you, ‘[L Look,] ·the Christ [L he] is in the ·desert [wilderness],’ don’t go there. If they say, ‘[L Look,] he is ·in the inner room [or hiding here; in this secret place],’ don’t believe it. 27 When the Son of Man comes [Dan. 7:13–14], he will be like lightning flashing from the east to the west [C he will be seen by everyone]. 28 Wherever the ·dead body [carcass] is, there the vultures will gather.
29 “Soon after the ·trouble [tribulation; distress] of those days,
‘the sun will grow dark,
and the moon will not give its light.
The stars will fall from ·the sky [heaven].
And the ·powers of the heavens [celestial bodies] will be shaken [Is. 13:10; 34:4; cf. Ezek. 32:7–8; Joel 2:10, 31].’
30 “At that time, the sign of the Son of Man will appear in ·the sky [or heaven]. Then all the ·peoples [tribes] of the world will ·cry [mourn]. They will see the Son of Man coming on ·clouds in the sky [or the clouds of heaven] with great power and glory. 31 He will use a loud trumpet to send his angels, and they will gather his ·chosen people [elect] ·from every part of the world [L from the four winds, from one end of the sky/heavens to another].
32 “Learn a ·lesson [parable; analogy] from the fig tree: When its branches ·become green and soft [become tender; sprout] and new leaves appear, you know summer is near. 33 In the same way, when you see all these things happening, you will know that ·the time [or he] is near, ·ready to come [right at the door]. 34 I tell you the truth, all these things will happen ·while the people of this time are still living [before this generation passes away; C either the generation that sees the destruction of Jerusalem (ad 70), or a future generation of the end times]. 35 ·Earth and sky will be destroyed [T Heaven and earth will pass away], but the words I have said will never ·be destroyed [pass away].
When Will Jesus Come Again?(B)
36 “No one knows when that day or ·time [hour] will be, not the angels in heaven, not even the Son.[a] Only the Father knows. 37 When the Son of Man comes [Dan. 7:13–14], it will be like what happened during Noah’s time. 38 [L For] In those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving their children to be married, until the day Noah entered the boat. 39 They ·knew [understood] nothing about what was happening until the flood came and ·destroyed them [L took/swept them all away]. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes. 40 Two men will be in the field. One will be taken, and the other will be left. 41 Two women will be grinding grain with a ·mill [handmill; C two large, round, flat rocks used for grinding grain to make flour]. One will be taken, and the other will be left.
42 “So ·always be ready [stay alert; keep watching], because you don’t know the day your Lord will come. 43 ·Remember [Know] this: If the owner of the house knew what time of night a thief was coming, the owner would ·watch [have stayed alert; kept watching] and not let ·the thief break in [L his house be broken into]. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at a ·time [hour] you don’t expect him.
The Story of the Two Servants(C)
45 “Who is the ·loyal [faithful; trusted] and ·wise [sensible] ·servant [slave] that the master ·trusts [L puts in charge of his household] to give ·the other servants [L them] their food at the right time? 46 That servant will be ·blessed [happy; or rewarded] when the master comes and finds him doing his work. 47 I tell you the truth, the master will ·choose that servant to take care [put him in charge] of everything he owns. 48 But suppose that evil servant thinks to himself, ‘My master ·will not come back soon [will be away for a long time; is delayed],’ 49 and he begins to beat the other servants and eat and ·get drunk with others like him [drink with drunkards]? 50 The master [L of that servant/slave] will come [L on a day] when that servant is not ready and [L at an hour when he] is not expecting him. 51 Then the master will cut him in pieces and ·send him away to be [L assign/appoint him a place] with the hypocrites, where ·people will cry and grind their teeth with pain [T there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth; C indicating agony and remorse].

Matthew 24
English Standard Version
Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple
24 (A)Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, (B)there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”
Signs of the End of the Age
3 As he sat on (C)the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him (D)privately, saying, “Tell us, (E)when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your (F)coming and of (G)the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, (H)“See that no one leads you astray. 5 For (I)many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am (J)the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you (K)are not alarmed, for this (L)must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For (M)nation will rise against nation, and (N)kingdom against kingdom, and there will be (O)famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of (P)the birth pains.
9 “Then (Q)they will deliver you up (R)to tribulation and (S)put you to death, and (T)you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away[a] and (U)betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many (V)false prophets will arise (W)and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, (X)the love of many will grow cold. 13 (Y)But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom (Z)will be proclaimed throughout the whole world (AA)as a testimony (AB)to all nations, and (AC)then the end will come.
The Abomination of Desolation
15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation (AD)spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in (AE)the holy place ((AF)let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 (AG)Let the one who is on (AH)the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And (AI)alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be (AJ)great tribulation, (AK)such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for (AL)the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 (AM)Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For (AN)false christs and (AO)false prophets will arise and (AP)perform great signs and wonders, (AQ)so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, (AR)I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, (AS)he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 (AT)For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be (AU)the coming of the Son of Man. 28 (AV)Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
The Coming of the Son of Man
29 “Immediately after (AW)the tribulation of those days (AX)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and (AY)the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then (AZ)will appear in heaven (BA)the sign of the Son of Man, and then (BB)all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and (BC)they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven (BD)with power and great glory. 31 And (BE)he will send out his angels with a loud (BF)trumpet call, and they will (BG)gather (BH)his elect from (BI)the four winds, (BJ)from one end of heaven to the other.
The Lesson of the Fig Tree
32 “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, (BK)at the very gates. 34 (BL)Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 35 (BM)Heaven and earth will pass away, but (BN)my words will not pass away.
No One Knows That Day and Hour
36 “But concerning that day and hour (BO)no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, (BP)nor the Son,[b] (BQ)but the Father only. 37 (BR)For as were the days of Noah, (BS)so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 (BT)For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, (BU)marrying and giving in marriage, until (BV)the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, (BW)so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 (BX)Two women will be grinding (BY)at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42 Therefore, (BZ)stay awake, for you do not know on what day (CA)your Lord is coming. 43 (CB)But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night (CC)the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be (CD)ready, for (CE)the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
45 “Who then is (CF)the faithful and (CG)wise servant,[c] whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 (CH)Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47 Truly, I say to you, (CI)he will set him over all his possessions. 48 But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master (CJ)is delayed,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants[d] and eats and drinks with (CK)drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come (CL)on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51 and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place (CM)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
