Matthew
Matthew 24 ©
1 Christ foretelleth the destruction of the temple: 3 he showeth what signs and calamities shall go before it; and what shall happen at the time of his coming. 32 By a parable of the fig tree he marketh the certainty of the prediction. 36 No man knoweth the day and hour, which shall come suddenly. 42 We ought therefore to watch, like good servants who expect their master's coming.
AND aJesus went out, and bdeparted from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
kThen 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.
And then shall many lbe offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
vLet him which is on the whousetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
xAnd woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
zFor then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
cThen if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
dFor there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and eshall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were fpossible, they shall deceive the very elect.
¶kImmediately 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:
mAnd he shall send his angels with 1a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his nelect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
So olikewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that 2it is near, even at the doors.
*Verily I say unto you, pThis generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
qHeaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
uThen shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
¶vWatch therefore: wfor ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
cBut and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
And shall begin dto smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
