Matthew 24
Christian Standard Bible
Destruction of the Temple Predicted
24 As Jesus left and was going out of the temple,(A) his disciples(B) came up and called his attention to its buildings. 2 He replied to them, “Do you see all these things? Truly I tell you, not one stone will be left here on another that will not be thrown down.”
Signs of the End of the Age
3 While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately and said, “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what is the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” (C)
4 Jesus replied to them, “Watch out that no one deceives(D) you. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they will deceive many.(E) 6 You are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, because these things must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines[a](F) and earthquakes in various places.(G) 8 All these events are the beginning of labor pains.(H)
Persecutions Predicted
9 “Then they will hand you over to be persecuted, and they will kill you. You will be hated by all nations because of my name.(I) 10 Then many will fall away, betray one another, and hate one another. 11 Many false prophets(J) will rise up and deceive many. 12 Because lawlessness(K) will multiply, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world[b] as a testimony to all nations,(L) and then the end will come.(M)
The Great Tribulation
15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation,[c] spoken of by the prophet Daniel,(N) standing in the holy place”(O) (let the reader understand), 16 “then those in Judea must flee to the mountains. 17 A man on the housetop[d] must not come down to get things out of his house,(P) 18 and a man in the field must not go back to get his coat. 19 Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days! 20 Pray that your escape may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For at that time there will be great distress,[e](Q) the kind that hasn’t taken place from the beginning of the world until now and never will again. 22 Unless those days were cut short, no one would[f] be saved. But those days will be cut short because of the elect.(R)
23 “If anyone tells you then, ‘See, here is the Messiah!’(S) or, ‘Over here!’ do not believe it.(T) 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to lead astray,(U) if possible, even the elect. 25 Take note: I have told you in advance. 26 So if they tell you, ‘See, he’s in the wilderness!’ don’t go out; or, ‘See, he’s in the storerooms!’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.(V) 28 Wherever the carcass is, there the vultures[g] will gather.(W)
The Coming of the Son of Man
29 “Immediately after the distress(X) of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the peoples of the earth[h] will mourn;[i] and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.(Y) 31 He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet,(Z) and they will gather his elect from the four winds,(AA) from one end of the sky to the other.
The Parable of the Fig Tree
32 “Learn this lesson(AB) from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 In the same way, when you see all these things, recognize[j] that he[k] is near—at the door.(AC) 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place.(AD) 35 Heaven and earth will pass away,(AE) but my words will never pass away.(AF)
No One Knows the Day or Hour
36 “Now concerning that day and hour no one knows—neither the angels of heaven nor the Son[l] —except the Father alone.(AG) 37 As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 38 For in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah boarded the ark.(AH) 39 They didn’t know until the flood came and swept them all away. This is the way the coming of the Son of Man will be. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 Two women will be grinding grain with a hand mill; one will be taken and one left.(AI) 42 Therefore be alert, since you don’t know what day[m] your Lord is coming.(AJ) 43 But know this: If the homeowner had known what time[n] the thief was coming, he would have stayed alert and not let his house be broken into.(AK) 44 This is why you are also to be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.(AL)
Faithful Service to Christ
45 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant,(AM) whom his master has put in charge of his household, to give them food at the proper time?(AN) 46 Blessed is that servant whom the master finds doing his job when he comes.(AO) 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But if that wicked servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delayed,’ 49 and starts to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with drunkards,(AP) 50 that servant’s master will come on a day he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

4 And kai Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai · ho them autos, saying legō, “ Take blepō care that no mē one tis leads you hymeis astray planaō. 5 For gar many polys will come erchomai in epi · ho my egō name onoma, saying legō, ‘ I egō am eimi the ho Christ Christos,’ and kai they will lead many polys astray planaō. 6 And de you will mellō hear akouō of wars polemos and kai rumors akoē of wars polemos. See horaō that you are not mē alarmed throeō, for gar this must dei take ginomai place but alla the ho end telos is eimi not oupō yet . 7 For gar nation ethnos will rise egeirō up against epi nation ethnos and kai kingdom basileia against epi kingdom basileia, and kai there will be eimi famines limos and kai earthquakes seismos in kata various places topos. 8 But de all pas these houtos things are only the beginning archē of birth ōdin pangs . 9 Then tote they will hand paradidōmi you hymeis over to eis be persecuted thlipsis and kai will kill apokteinō you hymeis, and kai you will be eimi hated miseō by hypo all pas · ho nations ethnos because dia of · ho my egō name onoma. 10 · kai At tote that time many polys will fall skandalizō away and kai will betray paradidōmi one another allēlōn and kai hate miseō one another allēlōn. 11 And kai many polys false pseudoprophētēs prophets will arise egeirō and kai lead planaō many polys astray; 12 and kai because dia lawlessness anomia will be increased plēthunō, · ho the ho love agapē of ho many polys will grow cold psychō. 13 But de the ho one who endures hypomenō to eis the end telos will be saved sōzō. 14 And kai this houtos · ho gospel euangelion of the ho kingdom basileia will be proclaimed kēryssō in en all holos the ho world oikoumenē as eis a testimony martyrion to every pas · ho nation ethnos, and kai then tote the ho end telos will come hēkō.
15 “ Therefore oun when hotan you see the ho ‘ abomination bdelygma of ho desolation erēmōsis’ · ho spoken legō of by dia the ho prophet prophētēs Daniel Daniēl, standing histēmi in en the holy hagios place topos ( let the ho reader anaginōskō understand noeō), 16 then tote those ho who are in en · ho Judea Ioudaia must flee pheugō to eis the ho mountains oros, 17 the ho one on epi the ho housetop dōma must not mē go katabainō down to gather airō up what ho is in ek · ho his autos house oikia, 18 and kai the ho one in en the ho field agros must not mē go epistrephō back opisō to pick airō up · ho his autos coat himation. 19 But de woe ouai to ho women who are echō pregnant en gastēr and kai to ho mothers who are nursing thēlazō babies in en those ekeinos · ho days hēmera! 20 And de pray proseuchomai that hina your hymeis flight phygē will not mē be ginomai · ho in winter cheimōn or mēde on a Sabbath sabbaton. 21 For gar then tote there will be eimi great megas suffering thlipsis, such hoios as has not ou been ginomai from apo the beginning archē of the world kosmos until heōs · ho now nyn, and oude will never ou mē be ginomai again. 22 And kai unless ei mē those ekeinos days hēmera were shortened koloboō, · ho no ou human being sarx would an survive sōzō. But de for dia the sake of the ho elect eklektos those ekeinos days hēmera will be shortened koloboō. · ho 23 Then tote if ean anyone tis says legō to you hymeis, ‘ Look idou, here hōde is the ho Christ Christos!’ or ē, ‘ There hōde he is!’ Do not mē believe pisteuō him. 24 For gar false pseudochristos messiahs and kai false pseudoprophētēs prophets will appear egeirō, and kai they will perform didōmi great megas signs sēmeion and kai wonders teras so hōste as to lead planaō astray , if ei that were possible dynatos, even kai the ho elect eklektos. 25 Mark idou well , I have warned you hymeis in advance. 26 So oun, if ean they say legō to you hymeis, ‘ There idou he is eimi, out in en the ho wilderness erēmos!’ do not mē go exerchomai out ; or, ‘ Here idou he is, in en the ho inner tameion rooms !’ do not mē believe pisteuō it. 27 For gar as hōsper the ho lightning astrapē comes exerchomai from apo the east anatolē and kai flashes phainō to heōs the west dysmē, so houtōs will eimi the ho coming parousia of the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos be. 28 Wherever hopou ean the ho corpse ptōma is eimi, there ekei the ho vultures aetos will gather synagō.
