Daniel 9:20-25 New King James Version (NKJV)

The Seventy-Weeks Prophecy

²⁰Now while I was speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God, ²¹yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, ^[a]being caused to fly swiftly, reached me about the time of the evening offering. ²²And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand. ²³At the beginning of your supplications the ^[b]command went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision:

²⁴“Seventy ^[c]weeks are determined
For your people and for your holy city,
To finish the transgression,
^[d]To make an end of sins,
To make reconciliation for iniquity,
To bring in everlasting righteousness,
To seal up vision and prophecy,
And to anoint ^[e]the Most Holy.

²⁵“Know therefore and understand,
That from the going forth of the command
To restore and build Jerusalem
Until Messiah the Prince,
There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;
The ^[f]street shall be built again, and the ^[g]wall,
Even in troublesome times.
