* and while I was speaking in prayer , then the man Gabriel , whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning , reached me as I was weary and faint , about the time of the evening sacrifice . * And he informed me and talked with me , and said , O Daniel , I have now come forth to give you skill in understanding . * At the beginning of your prayers the word came forth , and I have come to explain it . For you are greatly beloved . Therefore consider the matter and understand the vision : * Seventy weeks are decreed regarding your people , and regarding your holy city , to finish the transgression , and to make an end of sins , and to make atonement for iniquity , and to bring in everlasting righteousness , and to seal up the vision and prophecy , and to anoint the Holy of Holies . * Know , therefore , and understand that from the going forth of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem , to Messiah the Prince , shall be seven weeks and sixty two weeks . The street shall be built again , and the wall , even in times of distress . * And after sixty two weeks , Messiah shall be cut off , but not for Himself . And the people of a coming ruler shall destroy the city and the sanctuary . And its end shall be with a flood , and desolations are determined , and there shall be war until the end . * And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week . And in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the grain offering to cease . And on a corner will be abominations that cause horror , even until the end . And that which was decreed shall be poured out on the desolate .
