马太福音 24
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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。 2 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
3 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？”
4 耶稣回答说：“你们要小心，免得被人迷惑。 5 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。 6 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。 7 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。 8 这些只是灾难[a]的开始。
9 “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。
Matthew 24
Lexham English Bible
The Destruction of the Temple Predicted
24 And as Jesus went out of the temple courts[a] he was going along, and his disciples came up to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered and[b] said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone will be left here on another stone that will not be thrown down!”
Signs of the End of the Age
3 And as[c] he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered and[d] said to them, “Watch out that no one deceives you! 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will deceive many. 6 And you are going to hear about wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.[e] 8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
Persecution of Disciples Predicted
9 “Then they will hand you over to persecution and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations[f] because of my name. 10 And then many will be led into sin and will betray one another and will hate one another, 11 and many false prophets will appear and will deceive many, 12 and because lawlessness will increase, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end—this person will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations,[g] and then the end will come.
The Abomination of Desolation
15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation[h] spoken about by the prophet Daniel standing in the holy place” (let the one who reads understand), 16 “then those in Judea must flee to the mountains! 17 The one who is on his[i] housetop must not come down to take things out of his house, 18 and the one who is in the field must not turn back to pick up his cloak. 19 And woe to those who are pregnant[j] and to those who are nursing their babies[k] in those days! 20 But pray that your flight may not happen in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will happen. 22 And unless those days had been shortened, no human being would be saved.[l] But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.
23 “At that time if anyone should say to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘Here he is,’ do not believe him![m] 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear, and will produce great signs and wonders in order to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 Behold, I have told you ahead of time! 26 Therefore if they say to you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or[n] ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it![o] 27 For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
The Arrival of the Son of Man
29 “And immediately after the tribulation of those days,
‘the sun will be darkened
and the moon will not give its light,
and the stars will fall from heaven,
and the powers of heaven will be shaken.’[p]
30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven,[q] and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven[r] with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect together from the four winds, from one end of heaven[s] to the other end of it.
The Parable of the Fig Tree
32 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch has already become tender and puts forth its[t] leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also you, when you see all these things, know[u] that he is near, at the door. 34 Truly I say to you that this generation will never pass away until all these things take place! 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
The Unknown Day and Hour
36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows—not even the angels of heaven nor the Son—except the Father alone. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 38 For as in the days[v] before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark. 39 And they did not know anything[w] until the deluge came and swept them[x] all away. So also the coming of the Son of Man will be. 40 Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42 Therefore be on the alert, because you do not know what day your Lord is coming! 43 But understand this: that if the master of the house had known what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 For this reason you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not think he will come.[y]
A Faithful Slave and an Unfaithful Slave
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise slave whom the master has put in charge of his household slaves to give them their[z] food at the right time? 46 Blessed is that slave whom his master will find so doing when he[aa] comes back. 47 Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But if that evil slave should say to himself,[ab] ‘My master is staying away for a long time,’ 49 and he begins to beat his fellow slaves and eats and drinks with drunkards, 50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and at an hour that he does not know, 51 and will cut him in two and assign his place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
