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。 2 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)

3 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？” 4 耶稣回答他们：“你们要小心，不要被人迷惑； 5 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。 6 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。 7 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， 8 这一切不过是痛苦的开始。 9 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。”

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。

預言聖殿被毀

24 耶穌離開聖殿時，門徒上前把宏偉的聖殿指給祂看。 2 耶穌對他們說：「你們看見這殿宇了嗎？我實在告訴你們，將來它要被完全拆毀，在這裡找不到兩塊疊在一起的石頭。」

世界末日的預兆

3 耶穌正坐在橄欖山上，門徒私下來問祂：「請告訴我們，這事什麼時候會發生？你再來和世界末日的時候會有什麼預兆？」

4 耶穌回答說：「你們要小心，免得被人迷惑。 5 因為將來會有許多人冒我的名而來，說『我是基督』，欺騙許多人。 6 你們聽見戰爭爆發、戰訊頻傳時，不要驚慌，因為這些事必然發生，只是末日還沒有到。 7 民族將與民族互鬥，國家將與國家相爭，各處將有饑荒和地震。 8 這些只是災難[a]的開始。

9 「那時，你們將遭人迫害、殺害，並因我的名而被萬民憎恨。 10 那時，許多人會放棄信仰，互相出賣，彼此憎恨。 11 許多假先知也會出現，迷惑許多人。 12 由於罪惡氾濫，許多人的愛逐漸冷淡。 13 但堅忍到底的必定得救。 14 這天國的福音將傳遍天下，讓萬民都聽見，然後末日才會來臨。

15 「當你們看見但以理先知所說的『那帶來毀滅的可憎之物』站立在聖地的時候（讀者須會意）， 16 住在猶太地區的人要趕快逃到山上去， 17 在屋頂上的人不要下來進屋收拾行李， 18 在田間工作的人也不要回家取外衣。 19 那時，孕婦和哺育嬰兒的母親們可就遭殃了！ 20 你們要祈求上帝，不要讓你們在冬天或安息日逃難， 21 因為那時世上將有空前絕後的大災難。 22 如果不縮短災期，恐怕沒有人能活命。但為了選民的緣故，災期必被縮短。

23 「那時，如果有人對你們說，『看啊！基督在這裡』，或說，『基督在那裡』，你們不要相信。 24 因為假基督和假先知將出現，行很大的神蹟奇事來迷惑人，如果可能，甚至要迷惑上帝揀選的子民。 25 你們要記住，我已經預先告訴你們了。

26 「因此，如果有人對你們說，『看啊！基督在曠野』，你們不要出去；或者說，『看啊！基督在屋裡』，你們也不要相信。 27 人子降臨時的情形就像閃電從東方發出一直照到西方。 28 屍體在哪裡，禿鷹就會聚集在哪裡。

29 「當災難的日子一過，

『太陽變黑，
月亮無光，
眾星隕落，
天體震動。』

30 「那時，天上會出現人子降臨的預兆，地上的萬族都要哀哭，他們將看見人子帶著能力和極大的榮耀駕著天上的雲降臨。 31 在響亮的號聲中，祂將差遣天使從四面八方、天涯海角招聚祂揀選的人。

無花果樹的比喻

32 「你們可以從無花果樹學個道理。當無花果樹發芽長葉的時候，你們就知道夏天快來了。 33 同樣，當你們看見這一切事發生時，就知道人子快來了，就在門口。 34 我實在告訴你們，這個世代還沒有過去，這一切都要發生。 35 天地都要過去，但我的話永遠長存。

警醒準備

36 「但沒有人知道那日子和時辰何時來到，連天上的天使也不知道，人子[b]也不知道，只有天父知道。 37 人子降臨時的情形就像挪亞的時代。 38 洪水來臨之前，人們吃吃喝喝，男婚女嫁，一直到挪亞進方舟那天； 39 他們懵然不知，直到洪水來把他們全沖走了。人子降臨時的情形也是這樣。 40 那時，兩個人在田裡，一個將被接去，一個將被撇下； 41 兩個婦人推磨，一個將被接去，一個將被撇下。 42 所以，你們要警醒，因為你們不知道你們的主會在哪一天來。 43 你們都知道，如果一家的主人知道賊會在半夜幾點來，就必警醒，不讓賊入屋偷竊。 44 同樣，你們也要做好準備，因為在你們意想不到的時候，人子就來了。

兩種奴僕

45 「誰是那個受主人委託管理家中大小僕役、按時分糧食給他們、又忠心又精明的奴僕呢？ 46 主人回家時，看見他盡忠職守，他就有福了。 47 我實在告訴你們，主人一定會把所有產業都交給他管理。 48 但如果奴僕邪惡，以為主人不會那麼快回來， 49 就毆打同伴，跟醉漢一起吃喝玩樂， 50 主人會在他想不到的日子、不知道的時辰回來， 51 嚴厲地懲罰[c]他，判他和偽君子同樣的罪。他必在那裡哀哭切齒。

Matthew 24
New English Translation

The Destruction of the Temple

24 Now[a] as Jesus was going out of the temple courts and walking away, his disciples came to show him the temple buildings.[b] 2 And he said to them,[c] “Do you see all these things? I tell you the truth,[d] not one stone will be left on another.[e] All will be torn down!”[f]

Signs of the End of the Age

3 As[g] he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will these things[h] happen? And what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 Jesus answered them,[i] “Watch out[j] that no one misleads you. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’[k] and they will mislead many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. Make sure that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is still to come.[l] 7 For nation will rise up in arms[m] against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines and earthquakes[n] in various places.[o] 8 All[p] these things are the beginning of birth pains.

Persecution of Disciples

9 “Then they will hand you over to be persecuted and will kill you. You will be hated by all the nations[q] because of my name.[r] 10 Then many will be led into sin,[s] and they will betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will appear and deceive[t] many, 12 and because lawlessness will increase so much, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the person who endures to the end will be saved.[u] 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole inhabited earth as a testimony to all the nations,[v] and then the end will come.

The Abomination of Desolation

15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation[w]—spoken about by Daniel the prophet—standing in the holy place” (let the reader understand),[x] 16 “then those in Judea must flee[y] to the mountains. 17 The one on the roof[z] must not come down[aa] to take anything out of his house, 18 and the one in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 19 Woe[ab] to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! 20 Pray[ac] that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great suffering[ad] unlike anything that has happened[ae] from the beginning of the world until now, or ever will happen. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’[af] or ‘There he is!’ do not believe him. 24 For false messiahs[ag] and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 Remember,[ah] I have told you ahead of time. 26 So then, if someone[ai] says to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’[aj] do not go out, or ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe him. 27 For just like the lightning[ak] comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures[al] will gather.[am]

The Arrival of the Son of Man

29 “Immediately[an] after the suffering[ao] of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.[ap] 30 Then[aq] the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven,[ar] and[as] all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They[at] will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven[au] with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven[av] to the other.

The Parable of the Fig Tree

32 “Learn[aw] this parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also you, when you see all these things, know[ax] that he is near, right at the door. 34 I tell you the truth,[ay] this generation[az] will not pass away until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.[ba]

Be Ready!

36 “But as for that day and hour no one knows it—not even the angels in heaven[bb]—except the Father alone. 37 For just like the days of Noah[bc] were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 38 For in those days before the flood, people[bd] were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark. 39 And they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away.[be] It will be the same at the coming of the Son of Man.[bf] 40 Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one left.[bg] 41 There will be two women grinding grain with a mill;[bh] one will be taken and one left.

42 “Therefore stay alert, because you do not know on what day[bi] your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief[bj] was coming, he would have been alert and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.[bk]

The Faithful and Wise Slave

45 “Who then is the faithful and wise slave,[bl] whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the other slaves[bm] their food at the proper time? 46 Blessed is that slave whom the master finds at work[bn] when he comes. 47 I tell you the truth,[bo] the master[bp] will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But if[bq] that evil slave should say to himself,[br] ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he begins to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with drunkards, 50 then the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not foresee, 51 and will cut him in two,[bs] and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Footnotes

  1. Matthew 24:1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.
  2. Matthew 24:1 sn The Jerusalem temple was widely admired around the world. See Josephus, Ant. 15.11 [15.380-425]; J. W. 5.5 [5.184-227] and Tacitus, History 5.8, who called it “immensely opulent.” Josephus compared it to a beautiful snowcapped mountain.
  3. Matthew 24:2 tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (apokritheis) is redundant in English and has not been translated.
  4. Matthew 24:2 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amēn), I say to you.”
  5. Matthew 24:2 sn With the statement not one stone will be left on another Jesus predicted the total destruction of the temple, something that did occur in a.d. 70.
  6. Matthew 24:2 tn Grk “not one stone will be left here on a stone which will not be thrown down.”
  7. Matthew 24:3 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  8. Matthew 24:3 sn Because the phrase these things is plural, more than the temple’s destruction is in view. The question may presuppose that such a catastrophe signals the end.
  9. Matthew 24:4 tn Grk “answering, Jesus said to them.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.
  10. Matthew 24:4 tn Or “Be on guard.”
  11. Matthew 24:5 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”sn See the note on Christ in 1:16.
  12. Matthew 24:6 tn Grk “it is not yet the end.”
  13. Matthew 24:7 tn For the translation “rise up in arms” see L&N 55.2.
  14. Matthew 24:7 tc Most witnesses (C Γ Δ Θ 0102 ƒ1,13 700 1241 1424 M) have “and plagues” (καὶ λοιμοί, kai loimoi) between “famines” (λιμοί, limoi) and “earthquakes” (σεισμοί, seismoi), while others have “plagues and famines and earthquakes” (L W 33 lat). The similarities between λιμοί and λοιμοί could explain how καὶ λοιμοί might have accidentally dropped out, but since the Lukan parallel (Luke 21:11) has both terms (and W lat have the order λοιμοὶ καὶ λιμοί there too, as they do in Matthew), it seems more likely that scribes added the phrase here. The shorter reading does not enjoy overwhelming support ([א] B D 892 sa, and other Greek and versional witnesses), but it is nevertheless significant; coupled with the internal evidence it should be given preference.
  15. Matthew 24:7 sn See Isa 5:13-14; 13:6-16; Hag 2:6-7; Zech 14:4.
  16. Matthew 24:8 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  17. Matthew 24:9 tn Or “all the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “nations” or “Gentiles”).
  18. Matthew 24:9 sn See Matt 5:10-12; 1 Cor 1:25-31.
  19. Matthew 24:10 tn Or “many will fall away.” This could also refer to apostasy.
  20. Matthew 24:11 tn Or “and lead many astray.”
  21. Matthew 24:13 sn But the person who endures to the end will be saved. Jesus was not claiming here that salvation is by works. He was simply arguing that genuine faith evidences itself in persistence through even the worst of trials.
  22. Matthew 24:14 tn Or “all the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “nations” or “Gentiles”).
  23. Matthew 24:15 sn The reference to the abomination of desolation is an allusion to Dan 9:27. Though some have seen the fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy in the actions of Antiochus IV (or a representative of his) in 167 b.c., the words of Jesus seem to indicate that Antiochus was not the final fulfillment, but that there was (from Jesus’ perspective) still another fulfillment yet to come. Some argue that this was realized in a.d. 70, while others claim that it refers specifically to Antichrist and will not be fully realized until the period of the great tribulation at the end of the age (cf. Mark 13:14, 19, 24; Rev 3:10).
  24. Matthew 24:15 sn This parenthetical comment is generally regarded as a command by the author made directly to the readers, not as part of Jesus’ original speech. For this reason the statement is not placed within quotation marks.
  25. Matthew 24:16 sn Fleeing to the mountains is a key OT image: Gen 19:17; Judg 6:2; Isa 15:5; Jer 16:16; Zech 14:5.
  26. Matthew 24:17 sn On the roof. Most of the roofs in the NT were flat roofs made of pounded dirt, sometimes mixed with lime or stones, supported by heavy wooden beams. They generally had an easy means of access, either a sturdy wooden ladder or stone stairway, sometimes on the outside of the house.
  27. Matthew 24:17 sn The swiftness and devastation of the judgment will require a swift escape. There will be no time to come down from the roof and pick up anything from inside one’s home.
  28. Matthew 24:19 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  29. Matthew 24:20 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  30. Matthew 24:21 tn Traditionally, “great tribulation.”
  31. Matthew 24:21 sn Suffering unlike anything that has happened. Some refer this event to the destruction of Jerusalem in a.d. 70. While the events of a.d. 70 may reflect somewhat the comments Jesus makes here, the reference to the scope and severity of this judgment strongly suggest that much more is in view. Most likely Jesus is referring to the great end-time judgment on Jerusalem in the great tribulation.
  32. Matthew 24:23 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”sn See the note on Christ in 1:16.
  33. Matthew 24:24 tn Or “false christs”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”
  34. Matthew 24:25 tn Or “Pay attention!” Grk “Behold.”
  35. Matthew 24:26 tn Grk “they say.” The third person plural is used here as an indefinite and translated “someone” (ExSyn 402).
  36. Matthew 24:26 tn Or “in the desert.”
  37. Matthew 24:27 sn The Son of Man’s coming in power will be sudden and obvious like lightning. No one will need to point it out.
  38. Matthew 24:28 tn The same Greek term can refer to “eagles” or “vultures” (L&N 4.42; BDAG 22 s.v. ἀετός), but in this context it must mean vultures because the gruesome image is one of dead bodies being consumed by scavengers.sn Jesus’ answer is that when the judgment comes, the scenes of death will be obvious and so will the location of the judgment. See also Luke 17:37.
  39. Matthew 24:28 tn Grk “will be gathered.” The passive construction has been translated as an active one in English.
  40. Matthew 24:29 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  41. Matthew 24:29 tn Traditionally, “tribulation.”
  42. Matthew 24:29 sn An allusion to Isa 13:10; 34:4 (LXX); Joel 2:10. The heavens were seen as the abode of heavenly forces, so their shaking indicates distress in the spiritual realm. Although some take the powers as a reference to bodies in the heavens (like stars and planets, “the heavenly bodies,” NIV) this is not as likely.
  43. Matthew 24:30 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
  44. Matthew 24:30 tn Or “in the sky”; the Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven,” depending on the context.
  45. Matthew 24:30 tn Here τότε (tote, “then”) has not been translated to avoid redundancy in English.
  46. Matthew 24:30 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
  47. Matthew 24:30 sn An allusion to Dan 7:13. Here is Jesus returning with full authority to judge.
  48. Matthew 24:31 tn Or “of the sky”; the Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven,” depending on the context.
  49. Matthew 24:32 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  50. Matthew 24:33 tn The verb γινώσκετε (ginōskete, “know”) can be parsed as either present indicative or present imperative. In this context the imperative fits better, since the movement is from analogy (trees and seasons) to the future (the signs of the coming of the kingdom) and since the emphasis is on preparation for this event.
  51. Matthew 24:34 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amēn), I say to you.”
  52. Matthew 24:34 sn This is one of the hardest verses in the gospels to interpret. Various views exist for what generation means. (1) Some take it as meaning “race” and thus as an assurance that the Jewish race (nation) will not pass away. But it is very questionable that the Greek term γενεά (genea) can have this meaning. Two other options are possible. (2) Generation might mean “this type of generation” and refer to the generation of wicked humanity. Then the point is that humanity will not perish, because God will redeem it. Or (3) generation may refer to “the generation that sees the signs of the end” (v. 30), who will also see the end itself. In other words, once the movement to the return of Christ starts, all the events connected with it happen very quickly, in rapid succession.
  53. Matthew 24:35 sn The words that Jesus predicts here will never pass away. They are more stable and lasting than creation itself. For this kind of image, see Isa 40:8; 55:10-11.
  54. Matthew 24:36 tc ‡ Some significant witnesses, including early Alexandrian and Western mss (א*,2b B D Θ ƒ13 it vgmss Irlat Hiermss), have the additional words οὐδὲ ὁ υἱός (oude ho huios, “nor the Son”) here (so NA28). Although the shorter reading (which lacks this phrase) is suspect in that it seems to soften the prophetic ignorance of Jesus, the final phrase (“except the Father alone”) already implies this. Further, the parallel in Mark 13:32 has οὐδὲ ὁ υἱός, with almost no witnesses lacking the expression; significantly, Mark does not add “alone” to the Father. It is thus doubtful that the absence of “nor the Son” is due to pious scribal motives. In keeping with Matthew’s general softening of Mark’s harsh statements throughout his Gospel, it is more likely that the absence of “nor the Son” is part of the autographic text of Matthew, being an intentional change on the part of the author. Further, this shorter reading is supported by א2a as well as L W Γ Δ ƒ1 33 565 579 700 1241 1424 M al vg sy co Hiermss. Although the external evidence is not as impressive for the shorter reading, it best explains the rise of the other reading (in particular, how does one account for virtually no mss excising οὐδὲ ὁ υἱός at Mark 13:32 if such an absence here is due to scribal alteration? Although copyists were hardly consistent, for such a theologically significant issue at least some consistency would be expected on the part of a few scribes). Further, although some have claimed that the doubled οὐδέ is “necessary on internal grounds” (Bart D. Ehrman, The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture: The Effect of Early Christological Controversies on the Text of the New Testament [New York: OUP, 1993], 92; see also Daniel J. Harrington, The Gospel of Matthew, SP 1 [Collegeville, MN: Liturgical, 1991], 342: “…the syntax of the sentence (‘neither the angels … but the Father alone’) demands it.”), this is hardly the case. Indeed, apart from one quotation from the LXX, Matthew never elsewhere uses the correlative οὐδέ construction. Thus, on a redactional, intrinsic, and source-critical basis, the shorter reading is to be strongly preferred. See D. B. Wallace, “The Son’s Ignorance in Matthew 24:36: An Exercise in Textual and Redaction Criticism,” Studies on the Text of the New Testament and Early Christianity: Essays in Honour of Michael W. Holmes, ed. Daniel Gurtner, Paul Foster, and Juan Hernández (Leiden: Brill) 182–209.
  55. Matthew 24:37 sn Like the days of Noah, the time of the flood in Gen 6:5-8:22, the judgment will come as a surprise as people live their day to day lives.
  56. Matthew 24:38 tn Grk “they,” but in an indefinite sense, “people.”
  57. Matthew 24:39 sn Like the flood that came and took them all away, the coming judgment associated with the Son of Man will condemn many.
  58. Matthew 24:39 tn Grk “So also will be the coming of the Son of Man.”
  59. Matthew 24:40 sn There is debate among commentators and scholars over the phrase one will be taken and one left about whether one is taken for judgment or for salvation. If the imagery is patterned after the rescue of Noah from the flood, as some suggest, the ones taken are the saved (as Noah was) and those left behind are judged. The imagery, however, is not directly tied to the identification of the two groups. Its primary purpose in context is to picture the sudden, surprising separation of the righteous and the judged (i.e., condemned) at the return of the Son of Man.
  60. Matthew 24:41 tn According to L&N 46.16, this refers to a hand mill normally operated by two women.
  61. Matthew 24:42 tc Most later mss (L 0281 565 579 700 1241 M lat) have here ὥρᾳ (hōra, “hour”) instead of ἡμέρα (hēmera, “day”). Although the merits of this reading could be argued either way, in light of the overwhelming and diverse early support for ἡμέρᾳ (א B C D W Δ Θ ƒ13 33 892 1424, as well as several versions and fathers), the more general term is surely correct.
  62. Matthew 24:43 sn On Jesus’ return pictured as a thief, see 1 Thess 5:2, 4; 2 Pet 3:10; Rev 3:3; 16:15.
  63. Matthew 24:44 sn Jesus made clear that his coming could not be timed, and suggested it would take some time—so long, in fact, that some will not be looking for him any longer (at an hour when you do not expect him).
  64. Matthew 24:45 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
  65. Matthew 24:45 tn Grk “give them.”
  66. Matthew 24:46 tn That is, doing his job, doing what he is supposed to be doing.
  67. Matthew 24:47 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amēn), I say to you.”
  68. Matthew 24:47 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the master) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  69. Matthew 24:48 tn In the Greek text this is a third class condition that for all practical purposes is a hypothetical condition (note the translation of the following verb “should say”).
  70. Matthew 24:48 tn Grk “should say in his heart.”
  71. Matthew 24:51 tn The verb διχοτομέω (dichotomeō) means to cut an object into two parts (L&N 19.19). This is an extremely severe punishment compared to the other two later punishments. To translate it simply as “punish” is too mild. If taken literally this servant is dismembered, although it is possible to view the stated punishment as hyperbole (L&N 38.12).
