Matthew:24-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Jesus went out ,
and departed from the temple :
and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
And Jesus answered and said unto them ,
Take heed that no man deceive you .
*
For many shall come in my name ,
saying ,
I am Christ ;
and shall deceive many .
*
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 .
*
For nation shall rise against nation ,
and kingdom against kingdom :
and there shall be famines ,
and pestilences ,
and earthquakes ,
in divers places .
*
All these are the beginning of sorrows .
*
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 .
*
And then shall many be offended ,
and shall betray one another ,
and shall hate one another .
*
And many false prophets shall rise ,
and shall deceive many .
*
And because iniquity shall abound ,
the love of many shall wax cold .
*
But he that shall endure unto the end ,
the same shall be saved .
*
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 .
*
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 :)
*
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains :
*
Let him which is on the housetop 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 .
*
And woe unto them that are with child ,
and to them that give suck in those days !
*
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter ,
neither on the sabbath day :
*
For then shall be great tribulation ,
such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time ,
no ,
nor ever shall be .
*
And except those days should be shortened ,
there should no flesh be saved :
but for the elect '
s sake those days shall be shortened .
*
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 .
*
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins ,
which took their lamps ,
and went forth to meet the bridegroom .
*
And five of them were wise ,
and five were foolish .
*
They that were foolish took their lamps ,
and took no oil with them :
*
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps .
*
While the bridegroom tarried ,
they all slumbered and slept .
*
And at midnight there was a cry made ,
Behold ,
the bridegroom cometh ;
go ye out to meet him .
*
Then all those virgins arose ,
and trimmed their lamps .
*
And the foolish said unto the wise ,
Give us of your oil ;
for our lamps are gone out .
*
But the wise answered ,
saying ,
Not so ;
lest there be not enough for us and you :
but go ye rather to them that sell ,
and buy for yourselves .
*
And while they went to buy ,
the bridegroom came ;
and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage :
and the door was shut .
*
Afterward came also the other virgins ,
saying ,
Lord ,
Lord ,
open to us .
*
But he answered and said ,
Verily I say unto you ,
I know you not .
*
Watch therefore ,
for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh .
*
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country ,
who called his own servants ,
and delivered unto them his goods .
*
And unto one he gave five talents ,
to another two ,
and to another one ;
to every man according to his several ability ;
and straightway took his journey .
*
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same ,
and made them other five talents .
*
And likewise he that had received two ,
he also gained other two .
*
But he that had received one went and digged in the earth ,
and hid his lord '
s money .
*
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh ,
and reckoneth with them .
*
And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents ,
saying ,
Lord ,
thou deliveredst unto me five talents :
behold ,
I have gained beside them five talents more .
*
His lord said unto him ,
Well done ,
thou good and faithful servant :
thou hast been faithful over a few things ,
I will make thee ruler over many things :
enter thou into the joy of thy lord .
*
He also that had received two talents came and said ,
Lord ,
thou deliveredst unto me two talents :
behold ,
I have gained two other talents beside them .
*
His lord said unto him ,
Well done ,
good and faithful servant ;
thou hast been faithful over a few things ,
I will make thee ruler over many things :
enter thou into the joy of thy lord .
*
Then he which had received the one talent came and said ,
Lord ,
I knew thee that thou art an hard man ,
reaping where thou hast not sown ,
and gathering where thou hast not strawed :
*
And I was afraid ,
and went and hid thy talent in the earth :
lo ,
there thou hast that is thine .
*
His lord answered and said unto him ,
Thou wicked and slothful servant ,
thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not ,
and gather where I have not strawed :
*
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers ,
and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury .
*
Take therefore the talent from him ,
and give it unto him which hath ten talents .
*
For unto every one that hath shall be given ,
and he shall have abundance :
but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath .
*
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness :
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth .
*
When the Son of man shall come in his glory ,
and all the holy angels with him ,
then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory :
*
And before him shall be gathered all nations :
and he shall separate them one from another ,
as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats :
*
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand ,
but the goats on the left .
*
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand ,
Come ,
ye blessed of my Father ,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world :
*
For I was an hungred ,
and ye gave me meat :
I was thirsty ,
and ye gave me drink :
I was a stranger ,
and ye took me in :
*
Naked ,
and ye clothed me :
I was sick ,
and ye visited me :
I was in prison ,
and ye came unto me .
*
Then shall the righteous answer him ,
saying ,
Lord ,
when saw we thee an hungred ,
and fed thee ?
or thirsty ,
and gave thee drink ?
*
When saw we thee a stranger ,
and took thee in ?
or naked ,
and clothed thee ?
*
Or when saw we thee sick ,
or in prison ,
and came unto thee ?
*
And the King shall answer and say unto them ,
Verily I say unto you ,
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ,
ye have done it unto me .
*
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand ,
Depart from me ,
ye cursed ,
into everlasting fire ,
prepared for the devil and his angels :
*
For I was an hungred ,
and ye gave me no meat :
I was thirsty ,
and ye gave me no drink :
*
I was a stranger ,
and ye took me not in :
naked ,
and ye clothed me not :
sick ,
and in prison ,
and ye visited me not .
*
Then shall they also answer him ,
saying ,
Lord ,
when saw we thee an hungred ,
or athirst ,
or a stranger ,
or naked ,
or sick ,
or in prison ,
and did not minister unto thee ?
*
Then shall he answer them ,
saying ,
Verily I say unto you ,
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these ,
ye did it not to me .
*
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment :
but the righteous into life eternal .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Jesus had finished all these sayings ,
he said unto his disciples ,
