Daniel 9:20-27
New American Standard Bible
Gabriel Brings an Answer
20 While I was still (A)speaking and praying, and (B)confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and [a]presenting my plea before the Lord my God in behalf of the holy mountain of my God, 21 while I was still speaking in prayer, the man (C)Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision [b]previously, [c]came to me [d]in my extreme weariness about the time of the (D)evening offering. 22 And he instructed me and talked with me and said, “Daniel, I have come now to give you insight with (E)understanding. 23 At the (F)beginning of your pleas the [e]command was issued, and I have come to tell you, because you are [f](G)highly esteemed; so pay attention to the message and gain (H)understanding of the vision.
Seventy Weeks and the Messiah
24 “Seventy [g](I)weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to [h]finish the wrongdoing, to [i]make an end of sin, to (J)make atonement for guilt, to bring in (K)everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and [j]prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place. 25 So you are to know and understand that from the issuing of a [k](L)decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until [l](M)Messiah the (N)Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with [m]streets and moat, even in times of distress. 26 Then after the sixty-two weeks, the [n]Messiah will be (O)cut off and have [o]nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will (P)destroy the city and the sanctuary. And [p]its end will come with a (Q)flood; even to the end [q]there will be war; desolations are determined. 27 And he will confirm a covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of [r](R)abominations will come the one who [s]makes desolate, until a (S)complete destruction, one that is [t]decreed, gushes forth on the one who [u]makes desolate.”

Gabriel Brings an Answer
20 (A)While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea before the Lord my God for (B)the holy hill of my God, 21 while I was speaking in prayer, the man (C)Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, (D)came to me in swift flight at (E)the time of the evening sacrifice. 22 (F)He made me understand, speaking with me and saying, “O Daniel, I have now come out to give you (G)insight and understanding. 23 (H)At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, (I)and I have come to tell it to you, for (J)you are greatly loved. Therefore consider the word (K)and understand the vision.
The Seventy Weeks
24 (L)“Seventy weeks[a] are decreed about your people and (M)your holy city, to finish (N)the transgression, to put an end to sin, (O)and to atone for iniquity, (P)to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and (Q)to anoint a most holy place.[b] 25 (R)Know therefore and understand that (S)from the going out of the word to restore and (T)build Jerusalem to the coming of an (U)anointed one, a (V)prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again[c] with squares and moat, (W)but in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall (X)be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come (Y)shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. (Z)Its[d] end shall come with a flood, (AA)and to the end there shall be war. (AB)Desolations are decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week,[e] and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. (AC)And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until (AD)the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”
