New King James Version

Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the Temple(A)

24 Then (B)Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, (C)not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age(D)

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, (E)the disciples came to Him privately, saying, (F)“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: (G)“Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For (H)many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ (I)and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of (J)wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for [a]all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For (K)nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be (L)famines, [b]pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 (M)“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then (N)many false prophets will rise up and (O)deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow (P)cold. 13 (Q)But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this (R)gospel of the kingdom (S)will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

The Great Tribulation(T)

15 (U)“Therefore when you see the (V)‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (W)(whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But (X)woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For (Y)then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; (Z)but for the [c]elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

23 (AA)“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For (AB)false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, (AC)if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.

26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. 27 (AD)For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 (AE)For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

The Coming of the Son of Man(AF)

29 (AG)“Immediately after the tribulation of those days (AH)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 (AI)Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, (AJ)and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 (AK)And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His [d]elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

The Parable of the Fig Tree(AL)

32 “Now learn (AM)this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know (AN)that [e]it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, (AO)this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 (AP)Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

No One Knows the Day or Hour(AQ)

36 (AR)“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of [f]heaven, (AS)but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 (AT)For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 (AU)Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 (AV)Watch therefore, for you do not know what [g]hour your Lord is coming. 43 (AW)But know this, that if the master of the house had known what [h]hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 (AX)Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant(AY)

45 (AZ)“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food [i]in due season? 46 (BA)Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. 47 Assuredly, I say to you that (BB)he will make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master (BC)is delaying [j]his coming,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is (BD)not aware of, 51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. (BE)There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Señales del fin del mundo(A)

24 Jesús salió del templo y, mientras caminaba, se le acercaron sus discípulos y le mostraron los edificios del templo.

2 Pero él les dijo:

―¿Veis todo esto? Os aseguro que no quedará piedra sobre piedra, pues todo será derribado.

3 Más tarde estaba Jesús sentado en el monte de los Olivos, cuando llegaron los discípulos y le preguntaron en privado:

―¿Cuándo sucederá eso, y cuál será la señal de tu venida y del fin del mundo?

4 ―Tened cuidado de que nadie os engañe —les advirtió Jesús—. 5 Vendrán muchos que, usando mi nombre, dirán: “Yo soy el Cristo”, y engañarán a muchos. 6 Oiréis de guerras y de rumores de guerras, pero procurad no alarmaros. Es necesario que eso suceda, pero no será todavía el fin. 7 Se levantará nación contra nación, y reino contra reino. Habrá hambres y terremotos por todas partes. 8 Todo esto será apenas el comienzo de los dolores.

9 »Entonces os entregarán para que os persigan y os maten, y os odiarán todas las naciones por causa de mi nombre. 10 En aquel tiempo muchos se apartarán de la fe; unos a otros se traicionarán y se odiarán; 11 y surgirá un gran número de falsos profetas que engañarán a muchos. 12 Habrá tanta maldad que el amor de muchos se enfriará, 13 pero el que se mantenga firme hasta el fin será salvo. 14 Y este evangelio del reino se predicará en todo el mundo como testimonio a todas las naciones, y entonces vendrá el fin.

15 »Así que, cuando veáis en el lugar santo “el horrible sacrilegio”,[a] del que habló el profeta Daniel (el que lee, que lo entienda), 16 los que estén en Judea huyan a las montañas. 17 El que esté en la azotea no baje a llevarse nada de su casa. 18 Y el que esté en el campo no regrese para buscar su capa. 19 ¡Qué terrible será en aquellos días para las que estén embarazadas o amamantando! 20 Orad para que vuestra huida no suceda en invierno ni en sábado. 21 Porque habrá una gran tribulación, como no la ha habido desde el principio del mundo hasta ahora, ni la habrá jamás. 22 Si no se acortaran esos días, nadie sobreviviría, pero por causa de los elegidos se acortarán. 23 Entonces, si alguien os dice: “¡Mirad, aquí está el Cristo!” o “¡Allí está!”, no lo creáis. 24 Porque surgirán falsos Cristos y falsos profetas que harán grandes señales y milagros para engañar, a ser posible, aun a los elegidos. 25 Tened en cuenta que os lo he dicho de antemano.

26 »Por eso, si os dicen: “¡Mirad, está en el desierto!”, no salgáis; o: “¡Mirad, está en la casa!”, no lo creáis. 27 Porque, así como el relámpago que sale del oriente se ve hasta en el occidente, así será la venida del Hijo del hombre. 28 Donde esté el cadáver, allí se reunirán los buitres.

29 »Inmediatamente después de la tribulación de aquellos días,

»“se oscurecerá el sol
    y no brillará más la luna;
las estrellas caerán del cielo
    y los cuerpos celestes serán sacudidos”.[b]

30 »La señal del Hijo del hombre aparecerá en el cielo, y se angustiarán todas las razas de la tierra. Verán al Hijo del hombre venir sobre las nubes del cielo con poder y gran gloria. 31 Y al sonido de la gran trompeta mandará a sus ángeles, y reunirán de los cuatro vientos a los elegidos, de un extremo al otro del cielo.

32 »Aprended de la higuera esta lección: Tan pronto como se ponen tiernas sus ramas y brotan sus hojas, sabéis que el verano está cerca. 33 Igualmente, cuando veáis todas estas cosas, sabed que el tiempo está cerca, a las puertas. 34 Os aseguro que no pasará esta generación hasta que todas estas cosas sucedan. 35 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero mis palabras jamás pasarán.

Se desconocen el día y la hora(B)(C)

36 »Pero, en cuanto al día y la hora, nadie lo sabe, ni siquiera los ángeles en el cielo, ni el Hijo,[c] sino solo el Padre. 37 La venida del Hijo del hombre será como en tiempos de Noé. 38 Porque en los días antes del diluvio comían, bebían y se casaban y daban en casamiento, hasta el día en que Noé entró en el arca; 39 y no supieron nada de lo que sucedería hasta que llegó el diluvio y se los llevó a todos. Así será en la venida del Hijo del hombre. 40 Estarán dos hombres en el campo: uno será llevado y el otro será dejado. 41 Dos mujeres estarán moliendo: una será llevada y la otra será dejada.

42 »Por lo tanto, manteneos despiertos, porque no sabéis qué día vendrá vuestro Señor. 43 Pero entended esto: Si el dueño de casa supiera a qué hora de la noche va a llegar el ladrón, se mantendría despierto para no dejarlo forzar la entrada. 44 Por eso también vosotros debéis estar preparados, porque el Hijo del hombre vendrá cuando menos lo esperéis.

45 »¿Quién es el siervo fiel y prudente a quien su señor ha dejado encargado de los sirvientes para darles la comida a su debido tiempo? 46 Dichoso el siervo cuando su señor, al regresar, lo encuentra cumpliendo con su deber. 47 Os aseguro que lo pondrá a cargo de todos sus bienes. 48 Pero ¿qué tal si ese siervo malo se pone a pensar: “Mi señor está tardando”, 49 y luego comienza a golpear a sus compañeros, y a comer y beber con los borrachos? 50 El día en que el siervo menos lo espere y a la hora menos pensada, el señor volverá. 51 Lo castigará severamente y le impondrá la condena que reciben los hipócritas. Y habrá llanto y rechinar 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)
