Matthew 24
English Standard Version

Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple

24 (A)Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, (B)there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”

Signs of the End of the Age

3 As he sat on (C)the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him (D)privately, saying, “Tell us, (E)when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your (F)coming and of (G)the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, (H)“See that no one leads you astray. 5 For (I)many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am (J)the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you (K)are not alarmed, for this (L)must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For (M)nation will rise against nation, and (N)kingdom against kingdom, and there will be (O)famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of (P)the birth pains.

9 “Then (Q)they will deliver you up (R)to tribulation and (S)put you to death, and (T)you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away[a] and (U)betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many (V)false prophets will arise (W)and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, (X)the love of many will grow cold. 13 (Y)But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom (Z)will be proclaimed throughout the whole world (AA)as a testimony (AB)to all nations, and (AC)then the end will come.

The Abomination of Desolation

15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation (AD)spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in (AE)the holy place ((AF)let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 (AG)Let the one who is on (AH)the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And (AI)alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be (AJ)great tribulation, (AK)such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for (AL)the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 (AM)Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For (AN)false christs and (AO)false prophets will arise and (AP)perform great signs and wonders, (AQ)so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, (AR)I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, (AS)he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 (AT)For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be (AU)the coming of the Son of Man. 28 (AV)Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

The Coming of the Son of Man

29 “Immediately after (AW)the tribulation of those days (AX)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and (AY)the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then (AZ)will appear in heaven (BA)the sign of the Son of Man, and then (BB)all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and (BC)they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven (BD)with power and great glory. 31 And (BE)he will send out his angels with a loud (BF)trumpet call, and they will (BG)gather (BH)his elect from (BI)the four winds, (BJ)from one end of heaven to the other.

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

32 “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, (BK)at the very gates. 34 (BL)Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 35 (BM)Heaven and earth will pass away, but (BN)my words will not pass away.

No One Knows That Day and Hour

36 “But concerning that day and hour (BO)no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, (BP)nor the Son,[b] (BQ)but the Father only. 37 (BR)For as were the days of Noah, (BS)so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 (BT)For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, (BU)marrying and giving in marriage, until (BV)the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, (BW)so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 (BX)Two women will be grinding (BY)at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42 Therefore, (BZ)stay awake, for you do not know on what day (CA)your Lord is coming. 43 (CB)But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night (CC)the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be (CD)ready, for (CE)the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

45 “Who then is (CF)the faithful and (CG)wise servant,[c] whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 (CH)Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47 Truly, I say to you, (CI)he will set him over all his possessions. 48 But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master (CJ)is delayed,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants[d] and eats and drinks with (CK)drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come (CL)on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51 and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place (CM)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

La inminente destrucción del templo

24 Cuando Jesús salió y se iba del templo, se le acercaron sus discípulos para mostrarle los edificios del templo. 2 Y él respondiendo les dijo:

—¿No ven todo esto? De cierto les digo que aquí no quedará piedra sobre piedra que no sea derribada.

Señales que anticipan el fin

3 Estando él sentado en el monte de los Olivos, sus discípulos se acercaron a él aparte y le dijeron:

—Dinos, ¿cuándo sucederán estas cosas? ¿Y qué señal habrá de tu venida y del fin del mundo?

4 Respondió Jesús y les dijo:

—Miren que nadie les engañe; 5 porque muchos vendrán en mi nombre diciendo: “Yo soy el Cristo”, y engañarán a muchos. 6 Oirán de guerras y de rumores de guerras. Miren que no los turben, porque es necesario que esto acontezca; pero todavía no es el fin. 7 Porque se levantará nación contra nación y reino contra reino. Habrá hambre y terremotos por todas partes. 8 Pues todas estas cosas son principio de dolores.

9 »Entonces los entregarán a tribulación y los matarán, y serán aborrecidos por todas las naciones por causa de mi nombre. 10 Entonces muchos tropezarán; y se traicionarán unos a otros, y se aborrecerán unos a otros. 11 Muchos falsos profetas se levantarán y engañarán a muchos; 12 y por haberse multiplicado la maldad, se enfriará el amor de muchos. 13 Pero el que persevere hasta el fin, este será salvo. 14 Y este evangelio del reino será predicado en todo el mundo para testimonio a todas las naciones, y luego vendrá el fin.

La abominación desoladora

15 »Por tanto, cuando vean establecida en el lugar santo la abominación desoladora, de la cual habló el profeta Daniel[a] (el que lee, entienda), 16 entonces los que estén en Judea huyan a los montes. 17 El que esté en la azotea no descienda para sacar algo de su casa, 18 y el que esté en el campo no vuelva atrás a tomar su manto. 19 ¡Ay de las mujeres que estén embarazadas y de las que críen en aquellos días! 20 Oren, pues, que su huida no sea en invierno ni en sábado; 21 porque entonces habrá gran tribulación como no ha habido desde el principio del mundo hasta ahora, ni habrá jamás. 22 Si aquellos días no fueren acortados, no se salvaría nadie; pero por causa de los escogidos, aquellos días serán acortados.

Falsos cristos y falsos profetas

23 »Entonces, si alguien les dice: “Miren, aquí está el Cristo”, o “Está acá”, no le crean. 24 Porque se levantarán falsos cristos y falsos profetas, y harán grandes señales y maravillas de tal manera que engañarán, de ser posible, aun a los escogidos. 25 ¡Miren! Se los he dicho de antemano. 26 Así que, si les dicen: “Miren, está en el desierto”, no salgan; o “Miren, está en las habitaciones interiores”, no lo crean. 27 Porque así como el relámpago sale del oriente y se muestra hasta el occidente, así será la venida del Hijo del Hombre. 28 Porque donde esté el cadáver, allí se juntarán los buitres.

La venida del Hijo del Hombre

29 »Pero inmediatamente después de la tribulación de aquellos días, el sol se oscurecerá y la luna no dará su resplandor. Las estrellas caerán del cielo y los poderes de los cielos serán sacudidos.

30 »Entonces se manifestará la señal del Hijo del Hombre en el cielo, y en ese tiempo harán duelo todas las tribus de la tierra, y verán al Hijo del Hombre viniendo sobre las nubes del cielo[b] con poder y gran gloria. 31 Él enviará a sus ángeles con un gran sonar de trompeta, y ellos reunirán a los escogidos de él de los cuatro vientos, desde un extremo del cielo hasta el otro.

32 »De la higuera aprendan la parábola: Cuando su rama ya está tierna y brotan sus hojas, saben que el verano está cerca. 33 Así también ustedes, cuando vean todas estas cosas, sepan que está cerca, a las puertas. 34 De cierto les digo que no pasará esta generación hasta que todas estas cosas sucedan. 35 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero mis palabras no pasarán.

36 »Pero acerca de aquel día y aquella hora, nadie sabe; ni siquiera los ángeles de los cielos, ni aun el Hijo, sino solo el Padre. 37 Porque como en los días de Noé, así será la venida del Hijo del Hombre. 38 Pues como en aquellos días antes del diluvio estaban comiendo y bebiendo, casándose y dándose en casamiento hasta el día en que Noé entró en el arca, 39 y no se dieron cuenta hasta que vino el diluvio y se los llevó a todos, así será también la venida del Hijo del Hombre. 40 En aquel entonces estarán dos en el campo; el uno será tomado, y el otro será dejado. 41 Dos mujeres estarán moliendo en un molino; la una será tomada, y la otra dejada. 42 Velen, pues, porque no saben en qué día viene su Señor. 43 Pero sepan esto: Si el dueño de casa hubiera sabido a qué hora habría de venir el ladrón, habría velado y no habría permitido que forzaran la entrada a su casa. 44 Por tanto, estén preparados también ustedes, porque a la hora que no piensen, vendrá el Hijo del Hombre.

Parábola de los mayordomos

45 »¿Quién, pues, es el siervo fiel y prudente, a quien su señor lo puso sobre los criados de su casa, para que les diera alimentos a su debido tiempo? 46 Bienaventurado será aquel siervo a quien, cuando su señor venga, lo encuentre haciéndolo así. 47 De cierto les digo que lo pondrá sobre todos sus bienes. 48 Pero si aquel siervo malvado dice en su corazón: “Mi señor tarda”; 49 y si comienza a golpear a sus consiervos, y si come y bebe con los borrachos, 50 el señor de aquel siervo vendrá en el día que no espera y a la hora que no sabe, 51 y lo castigará duramente y le asignará lugar con los hipócritas. Allí habrá llanto y crujir de dientes.

Matthew 24
New International Version

The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times(A)

24 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another;(B) every one will be thrown down.”

3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives,(C) the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming(D) and of the end of the age?”(E)

4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.(F) 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.(G) 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.(H) There will be famines(I) and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted(J) and put to death,(K) and you will be hated by all nations because of me.(L) 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets(M) will appear and deceive many people.(N) 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(O) 14 And this gospel of the kingdom(P) will be preached in the whole world(Q) as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

15 “So when you see standing in the holy place(R) ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a](S) spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop(T) go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!(U) 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.(V)

22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect(W) those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.(X) 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders(Y) to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.

26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning(Z) that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming(AA) of the Son of Man.(AB) 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.(AC)

29 “Immediately after the distress of those days

“‘the sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
    and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b](AD)

30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn(AE) when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven,(AF) with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels(AG) with a loud trumpet call,(AH) and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[e] is near, right at the door.(AI) 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.(AJ) 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(AK)

The Day and Hour Unknown(AL)(AM)

36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father.(AN) 37 As it was in the days of Noah,(AO) so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,(AP) up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.(AQ) 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.(AR) 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.(AS)

42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.(AT) 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming,(AU) he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready,(AV) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant,(AW) whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.(AX) 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.(AY) 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.(AZ) 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.(BA)
