预言圣殿被毁

24 耶稣出了圣殿,正走的时候,门徒进前来,把殿宇指给他看。 耶稣对他们说:“你们不是看见这殿宇吗?我实在告诉你们:将来在这里没有一块石头留在石头上不被拆毁了。”

耶稣降临的预兆

耶稣在橄榄山上坐着,门徒暗暗地来,说:“请告诉我们,什么时候有这些事?你降临和世界的末了有什么预兆呢?” 耶稣回答说:“你们要谨慎,免得有人迷惑你们。 因为将来有好些人冒我的名来,说:‘我是基督’,并且要迷惑许多人。 你们也要听见打仗和打仗的风声,总不要惊慌,因为这些事是必须有的,只是末期还没有到。 民要攻打民,国要攻打国,多处必有饥荒、地震, 这都是灾难[a]的起头。 那时,人要把你们陷在患难里,也要杀害你们;你们又要为我的名被万民恨恶。

忍耐到底必要得救

10 “那时,必有许多人跌倒,也要彼此陷害、彼此恨恶, 11 且有好些假先知起来,迷惑多人。 12 只因不法的事增多,许多人的爱心才渐渐冷淡了。 13 唯有忍耐到底的,必然得救。 14 这天国的福音要传遍天下,对万民作见证,然后末期才来到。

15 “你们看见先知但以理所说的‘那行毁坏可憎的’站在圣地——读这经的人须要会意—— 16 那时,在犹太的,应当逃到山上; 17 在房上的,不要下来拿家里的东西; 18 在田里的,也不要回去取衣裳。 19 当那些日子,怀孕的和奶孩子的有祸了!

为选民要减少灾难的日子

20 “你们应当祈求,叫你们逃走的时候,不遇见冬天或是安息日。 21 因为那时必有大灾难,从世界的起头直到如今没有这样的灾难,后来也必没有。 22 若不减少那日子,凡有血气的总没有一个得救的;只是为选民,那日子必减少了。 23 那时,若有人对你们说‘基督在这里’,或说‘基督在那里’,你们不要信。 24 因为假基督、假先知将要起来,显大神迹、大奇事,倘若能行,连选民也就迷惑了。 25 看哪,我预先告诉你们了! 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,基督在内屋中’,你们不要信。 27 闪电从东边发出,直照到西边,人子降临也要这样。 28 尸首在哪里,鹰也必聚在那里。

29 “那些日子的灾难一过去,‘日头就变黑了,月亮也不放光,众星要从天上坠落,天势都要震动。’ 30 那时,人子的兆头要显在天上,地上的万族都要哀哭。他们要看见人子有能力、有大荣耀驾着天上的云降临。 31 他要差遣使者,用号筒的大声,将他的选民从四方[b],从天这边到天那边,都招聚了来。

从无花果树学比方

32 “你们可以从无花果树学个比方。当树枝发嫩长叶的时候,你们就知道夏天近了。 33 这样,你们看见这一切的事,也该知道人子近了,正在门口了。 34 我实在告诉你们:这世代还没有过去,这些事都要成就。 35 天地要废去,我的话却不能废去。 36 但那日子、那时辰,没有人知道,连天上的使者也不知道,子也不知道,唯独父知道。 37 挪亚的日子怎样,人子降临也要怎样。 38 当洪水以前的日子,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。人子降临也要这样。 40 那时,两个人在田里,取去一个,撇下一个; 41 两个女人推磨,取去一个,撇下一个。 42 所以,你们要警醒,因为不知道你们的主是哪一天来到。 43 家主若知道几更天有贼来,就必警醒,不容人挖透房屋,这是你们所知道的。 44 所以,你们也要预备,因为你们想不到的时候,人子就来了。

善仆与恶仆的报应

45 “谁是忠心有见识的仆人,为主人所派管理家里的人,按时分粮给他们呢? 46 主人来到看见他这样行,那仆人就有福了。 47 我实在告诉你们:主人要派他管理一切所有的。 48 倘若那恶仆心里说‘我的主人必来得迟’, 49 就动手打他的同伴,又和酒醉的人一同吃喝, 50 在想不到的日子,不知道的时辰,那仆人的主人要来, 51 重重地处治他[c],定他和假冒为善的人同罪,在那里必要哀哭切齿了。

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。

24 2 The destruction of the Temple. 4 The signs of Christ’s coming. 12 Iniquity. 23 False Christs. 29 The signs of the end of the world. 31 The Angels. 32 The fig tree. 37 The days of Noah. 42 We must watch. 45 The servant.

And (A)Jesus went out, and departed from the Temple, and his disciples came to him, to show him the building of the Temple.

[a]And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, (B)there shall not be here left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be cast down.

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came unto him apart, saying, Tell us when these things shall be, and what sign shall be of thy coming, and of the end of the world.

[b]And Jesus answered, and said unto them, (C)Take heed that no man deceive you.

For many shall come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive many.

And ye shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars: see that ye be not (D)troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the [c]end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and realm against realm, and there shall be famine, and pestilence, and earthquakes in [d]divers places.

All these are but the beginning of [e]sorrows.

(E)Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my Name’s sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall be increased, the love of many shall be cold.

13 (F)[f]But he that endureth to the end, he shall be saved.

14 And this [g]Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached through the whole [h]world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come.

15 [i]When ye (G)therefore shall see the [j]abomination of desolation spoken of by (H)Daniel the Prophet, set in the holy place (let him that readeth consider it.)

16 Then let them which be in Judea, flee into the mountains.

17 Let him which is on the housetop, not come down to fetch anything out of his house.

18 And he that is in the field, let not him return back to fetch his [k]clothes.

19 And woe shall be to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days.

20 But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the (I)[l]Sabbath day.

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world to this time, nor shall be.

22 And except [m]those days should be shortened, there should no [n]flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

23 (J)Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there, believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and [o]shall show great signs and wonders, so that if it were possible, they should deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert, go not forth: Behold, he is in the secret places, believe it not.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the East, and is seen into the West, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28 (K)[p]For wheresoever a dead [q]carcass is, thither will the Eagles be gathered together.

29 (L)[r]And immediately after the tribulations of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

30 And then shall appear the [s]sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the [t]kindreds of the earth [u]mourn, (M)and they shall see the Son of man [v]come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 (N)And he shall send his Angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect, from the [w]four winds, and from the one end of the heavens unto the other.

32 [x]Now learn the parable of the fig tree: when her bough is yet [y]tender, and it putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near.

33 So likewise ye, when ye see all these things, know that the kingdom of God is near, even at the doors.

34 Verily I say unto you, this [z]generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

35 (O)[aa]Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

36 [ab]But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the Angels of heaven, but my father only.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so likewise shall the coming of the Son of man be.

38 (P)For as in the days before the flood, they did [ac]eat and drink, marry, and give in marriage, unto the day that Noah entered into the Ark,

39 And knew nothing, till the flood came, and took them all away, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 (Q)[ad]Then two shall be in the fields, the one shall be received, and the other shall be refused.

41 [ae]Two women shall be grinding at the mill: the one shall be received, and the other shall be refused.

42 (R)[af]Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your master will come.

43 (S)Of this be sure, that if the good man of the house knew at what watch the thief would come, he would surely watch, and not suffer his house to be dug through.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in the hour that ye think not, will the Son of man come.

45 (T)Who then is a faithful servant and wise, whom his master hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his master when he cometh, shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My master doth defer his coming,

49 And begin to smite his fellows, and to eat, and to drink with the drunken,

50 That servant’s master will come in a day, when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And will [ag]cut him off, and give him his portion with hypocrites: (U)there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
