Matthew:24:23-51
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then if any man shall say unto you ,
Lo ,
here is Christ ,
or there ;
believe it not .
*
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 .
*
Behold ,
I have told you before .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For wheresoever the carcase is ,
there will the eagles be gathered together .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 likewise ye ,
when ye shall see all these things ,
know that it is near ,
even at the doors .
*
Verily I say unto you ,
This generation shall not pass ,
till all these things be fulfilled .
*
Heaven and earth shall pass away ,
but my words shall not pass away .
*
But of that day and hour knoweth no man ,
no ,
not the angels of heaven ,
but my Father only .
*
But as the days of Noe were ,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be .
*
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 ,
*
And knew not until the flood came ,
and took them all away ;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be .
*
Then 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 .
*
Watch therefore :
for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come .
*
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 .
*
Therefore be ye also ready :
for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh .
*
Who then is a faithful and wise servant ,
whom his lord hath made ruler over his household ,
to give them meat in due season ?
*
Blessed is that servant ,
whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing .
*
Verily I say unto you ,
That he shall make him ruler over all his goods .
*
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart ,
My lord delayeth his coming ;
*
And shall begin to smite his fellowservants ,
and to eat and drink with the drunken ;
*
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 ,
*
And shall cut him asunder ,
and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites :
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth .
