Matthew 24:23-31
New American Standard Bible
23 (A)Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the [a]Christ,’ or ‘He is over here,’ do not believe him. 24 For false christs and (B)false prophets will arise and will provide great [b](C)signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even (D)the [c]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 (E)For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will the (F)coming of the (G)Son of Man [d]be. 28 (H)Wherever the corpse is, there the [e]vultures will gather.
The Glorious Return
29 “But immediately after the (I)tribulation of those days (J)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and (K)the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then (L)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 (M)the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 31 And (N)He will send forth His angels with (O)a great trumpet blast, and they will gather together His [f](P)elect from (Q)the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
