Matthew 24 Kata Mathaion 24
1Kai exercharantos tos Iēsus ⸂apo teu hiereu poreuote,⸃ kai proserchala tois mathētois autou epideikara auto tain oikodomain teu hiereu;As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings. 2tos de ⸀apokrinirantos legata autoi; Ouk blepavō ⸂houteim panteim?⸃ amēn legamō vi, ouk mē afiēkiteia hōde lithos epi lithon hos ouk kataluiti.“Do you see all these things?” He replied. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
3Kathorōntou de autou epi teu Oreu taiu Elaiaiu proserchala auto tois mathētois kata idian legarōntois; Legasar ni pote houteim eti, kai tinem tem sēmem tau sau parousiau ⸀kai sunteleiau tou aiōnou.While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?” 4kai apokrinirantos tos Iēsus legata autoi; Blepavōr mē tinos vin planateia;Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you. 5pollois gar ercheli epi te onome mu legarōntois; Mis amō tos christos, kai polloin planali.For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6mellavi de akouarō polemoin kai akoain polemoiu; horavōr, mē throovōr; datō ⸀gar genera, alla oupō atō tem telem.You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7egeriti gar ethnem epi ethnem kai basileias epi basileian, kai eli ⸀limois kai seismois kata topoin;Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8panteim de houteim archas ōdinaiu.All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9Tote paradōali vin eis thlipsian kai apoktenali vin, kai evi misorōntois hupo panteiu teiu ethneiu dia tem onomem mu.Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10kai tote skandalizili pollois kai allēloin paradōali kai misali allēloin;At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another, 11kai pollois pseudoprofētois egerili kai planali polloin;and many false prophets will arise and deceive many. 12kai dia tem plēthunira tan anomian psuchiti tas agapas toiu polloiu.Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. 13tos de hupomenarantos eis telem houtos sōziti.But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 14kai kērussiti houtem tem euangeliem tau basileiau en hola ta oikoumena eis marturiem pantei tei ethnei, kai tote hēkati tem telem.And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15Hotan oun horaveia tem bdelugmem tau erēmōsiau tem legirantem dia Daniēl tou profētou ⸀stēarēntem en topo hagio, tos anagnōskarōntos noatōr,So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand), 16tote tois en ta Ioudaia fugalōr ⸀epi teim oreim,then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17tos epi teu dōmeu mē ⸀katabainatar airara teim ek tau oikiau autou,Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house. 18kai tos en to agro mē epistrefatar opisō airara ⸂tem himatiem⸃ autou.And let no one in the field return for his cloak. 19ouai de tai en gastra echarōntai kai tai thēlazarōntai en ekeinai tai hēmerai.How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers! 20proseuchovōr de hina mē geneteia tas fugas vu cheimōnou mēde sabbate;Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath. 21eti gar tote thlipsias megas hoias ouk genatē apo archau kosmou heōs tou nun oude ouk mē geneteia.For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again. 22kai ei mē kolobila tais hēmerais ekeinais, ouk an sōzita pantas sarkas; dia de toin eklektoin kolobili tais hēmerais ekeinais.If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short. 23tote ean tinos vi legateia; Idou hōde tos christos, ē; Hōde, mē pisteuaveia;At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it. 24egerili gar pseudochristois kai pseudoprofētois, kai dōali sēmeim megeim kai terateim hōste ⸀planara ei dunatem kai toin eklektoin;For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible. 25idou prolegamē vi.See, I have told you in advance. 26ean oun legaleia vi; Idou en ta erēma atō, mē exerchaveia; Idou en tei tameiei, mē pisteuaveia;So if they tell you, ‘There He is, in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Here He is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27hōsper gar tas astrapas exerchotō apo anatolaiu kai fanotō heōs dusmaiu, houtōs ⸀eti tas parousias tou huiou tou anthrōpou;For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28⸀hopou ean ateiō tem ptōmem, ekei sunagili tois aetois.Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
29Eutheōs de meta tan thlipsian taiu hēmeraiu ekeinaiu tos hēlios skotiziti, kai tas selēnas ouk dōati tem fengem autau, kai tois asterois pipteli apo tou ouranou, kai tais dunamiais toiu ouranoiu saleuili.Immediately after the tribulation 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 powers of the heavens will be shaken.’ 30kai tote faniti tem sēmem tou huiou tou anthrōpou en ⸀to ourano, kai tote kopteli pantais tais fulais tau gēau kai horeli ton huion tou anthrōpou erchorōnton epi taiu nefelaiu tou ouranou meta dunamiau kai doxau pollau;At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31kai apostelati toin angeloin autou meta ⸀salpingau megau, kai episunagali toin eklektoin autou ek toiu tessares anemoiu apo akreiu ouranoiu heōs ⸀teiu akreiu autoiu.And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32Apo de tau sukau mathavar tan parabolan; hotan ēdē tos klados autau geneteia hapalos kai teim fulleim ekfuateiō, gnōskavō hoti engus tem therem;Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. 33houtōs kai vis, hotan horaveia ⸂panteim houteim,⸃ gnōskavō hoti engus atō epi thurai.So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door. 34amēn legamō vi ⸀hoti ouk mē parerchateia tas geneas houtas heōs an panteim houteim geneteia.Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened. 35tos ouranos kai tas gēas ⸀parercheti, tois de logois mu ouk mē parerchaleia.Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
36Peri de tau hēmerau ekeinau kai hōrau oudenos oidatē, oude tois angelois toiu ouranoiu ⸂oude tos huios,⸃ ei mē tos ⸀patros monos.No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37hōsper ⸀gar tais hēmerais tou Nōe, houtōs ⸀eti tas parousias tou huiou tou anthrōpou;As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38⸀hōs gar ale en tai ⸀hēmerai tai pro tou kataklusmou trōgarōntois kai pinarōntois, gamarōntois kai ⸀gamizarōntois, achri hau hēmerau eiserchata Nōe eis tan kibōtan,For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. 39kai ouk gnōskala heōs erchata tos kataklusmos kai airata hapantoin, houtōs eti ⸀kai tas parousias tou huiou tou anthrōpou.And they were oblivious until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40tote ⸂duo eli⸃ en to agro, ⸀henos paralabotō kai ⸁henos afiēkotō;Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41duo alētharōntais en to ⸀mulo, henas paralabotō kai henas afiēkotō.Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42grēgoravōr oun, hoti ouk oidavē poia ⸀hēmera tos kurios vu erchotō.Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come. 43ekeinem de gnōskavōr hoti ei oidatelē tos oikodespotos poia fulaka tos kleptos erchotō, grēgorata an kai ouk an easata diorussira tan oikian autou.But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44dia houtem kai vis genovōr hetoimois, hoti ha ⸂ouk dokavō hōra⸃ tos huios tou anthrōpou erchotō.For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
45Tinos ara atō tos pistos doulos kai fronimos hon katastēata tos ⸀kurios epi tau ⸀oiketeiau autou teu ⸀dōara autoi tan trofēan en kairo?Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time? 46makarios tos doulos ekeinos hon ercharantos tos kurios autou heuriskati ⸂houtōs poiarōnton;⸃Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47amēn legamō vi hoti epi pantei tei huparcharōntei autou katastēati auton.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48ean de legateia tos kakosos doulos ekeinos en ta kardia autou; Chronizatō ⸂mu tos kurios,⸃But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’ 49kai archeteia tuptarō toin sundouloin ⸂autou, esthiateiō de kai pinateiō⸃ meta toiu methuarōntoiu,And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50hēkati tos kurios tou doulou ekeinou en hēmera ha ouk prosdokatō kai en hōra ha ouk gnōskatō,The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. 51kai dichotomati auton kai tem merem autou meta toiu hupokritoiu tithati; ekei eti tos klauthmos kai tos brugmos toiu odontoiu.Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.[’’]
