Matthew
1
And Jesus went out, and departed from the
temple: and his disciples came to him for to
shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto
them, See ye not all these things? verily I
say unto you, There shall not be left here
one stone upon another, that shall not be
thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the
mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these
things be? and what shall be the sign of thy
coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Take heed that no man
deceive you.
5 For many shall come in
my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of
wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not
troubled: for all these things must come to
pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines, and pestilences,
and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the
beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they
deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall
kill you: and ye shall be hated of all
nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many
be offended, and shall betray one another,
and shall hate one another.
11 And many false
prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity
shall abound, the love of many shall wax
cold.
13 But he that shall
endure unto the end, the same shall be
saved.
14 And this gospel of
the kingdom shall be preached in all the
world for a witness unto all nations; and
then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore
shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in
the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:)
16 Then let them which
be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on
the housetop not come down to take any thing
out of his house:
18 Neither let him which
is in the field return back to take his
clothes.
19 And woe unto them
that are with child, and to them that give
suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your
flight be not in the winter, neither on the
sabbath day:
21 For then shall be
great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor
ever shall be.
22 And except those days
should be shortened, there should no flesh
be saved: but for the elect's sake those
days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall
say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there;
believe it not.
24 For there shall arise
false Christs, and false prophets, and shall
shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that,
if it were possible, they shall deceive the
very elect.
25 Behold, I have told
you before.
26 Wherefore if they
shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the
secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning
cometh out of the east, and shineth even
unto the west; so shall also the coming of
the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the
carcase is, there will the eagles be
gathered together.
29 Immediately after the
tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her
light, and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be
shaken:
30 And then shall appear
the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and
then shall all the tribes of the earth
mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power
and great glory.
31 And he shall send his
angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and
they shall gather together his elect from
the four winds, from one end of heaven to
the other.
32 Now learn a parable
of the fig tree; When his branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know
that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when
ye shall see all these things, know that it
is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto
you, This generation shall not pass, till
all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth
shall pass away, but my words shall not pass
away.
36 But of that day and
hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of
heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of
Noe were, so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be.
38 For as in the days
that were before the flood they were eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noe entered
into the ark,
39 And knew not until
the flood came, and took them all away; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in
the field; the one shall be taken, and the
other left.
41 Two women shall be
grinding at the mill; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for
ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that
if the goodman of the house had known in
what watch the thief would come, he would
have watched, and would not have suffered
his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also
ready: for in such an hour as ye think not
the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a
faithful and wise servant, whom his lord
hath made ruler over his household, to give
them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that
servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall
find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto
you, That he shall make him ruler over all
his goods.
48 But and if that evil
servant shall say in his heart, My lord
delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to
smite his fellowservants, and to eat and
drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that
servant shall come in a day when he looketh
not for him, and in an hour that he is not
aware of,
51 And shall cut him
asunder, and appoint him his portion with
the hypocrites: there shall be
