Ma-thi-ơ

1And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and his disciples came near to show him the buildings of the temple,

2and Jesus said to them, 'Do ye not see all these? verily I say to you, There may not be left here a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.'

3And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, 'Tell us, when shall these be? and what [is] the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?'

4And Jesus answering said to them, 'Take heed that no one may lead you astray,

5for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall lead many astray,

6and ye shall begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, be not troubled, for it behoveth all [these] to come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7'For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places;

8and all these [are] the beginning of sorrows;

9then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated by all the nations because of my name;

10and then shall many be stumbled, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.

11'And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray;

12and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many shall become cold;

13but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved;

14and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end arrive.

15'Whenever, therefore, ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe)

16then those in Judea — let them flee to the mounts;

17he on the house-top — let him not come down to take up any thing out of his house;

18and he in the field — let him not turn back to take his garments.

19'And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck in those days;

20and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter, nor on a sabbath;

21for there shall be then great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world till now, no, nor may be.

22And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened.

23'Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ! or here! ye may not believe;

24for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.

25Lo, I did tell you beforehand.

26'If therefore they may say to you, Lo, in the wilderness he is, ye may not go forth; lo, in the inner chambers, ye may not believe;

27for as the lightning doth come forth from the east, and doth appear unto the west, so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;

28for wherever the carcase may be, there shall the eagles be gathered together.

29'And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken;

30and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in the heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth smite the breast, and they shall see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of the heaven, with power and much glory;

31and he shall send his messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens unto the ends thereof.

32'And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: When already its branch may have become tender, and the leaves it may put forth, ye know that summer [is] nigh,

33so also ye, when ye may see all these, ye know that it is nigh — at the doors.

34Verily I say to you, this generation may not pass away till all these may come to pass.

35The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

36'And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known — not even the messengers of the heavens — except my Father only;

37and as the days of Noah — so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;

38for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark,

39and they did not know till the flood came and took all away; so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man.

40Then two men shall be in the field, the one is received, and the one is left;

41two women shall be grinding in the mill, one is received, and one is left.

42'Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what hour your Lord doth come;

43and this know, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief doth come, he had watched, and not suffered his house to be broken through;

44because of this also ye, become ye ready, because in what hour ye do not think, the Son of Man doth come.

45'Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?

46Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;

47verily I say to you, that over all his substance he will set him.

48'And, if that evil servant may say in his heart, My Lord doth delay to come,

49and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken,

50the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he doth not expect, and in an hour of which he doth not know,

51and will cut him off, and his portion with the hypocrites will appoint; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.

预言圣殿被毁

1耶稣出了圣殿，正走的时候，门徒进前来，把殿宇指给他看。

2耶稣对他们说：「你们不是看见这殿宇吗？我实在告诉你们，将来在这里没有一块石头留在石头上，不被拆毁了。」

灾难的起头

3耶稣在橄榄山上坐着，门徒暗暗地来说：「请告诉我们，什么时候有这些事？你降临和世界的末了有什么预兆呢？」

4耶稣回答说：「你们要谨慎，免得有人迷惑你们。

5因为将来有好些人冒我的名来，说：『我是基督』，并且要迷惑许多人。

6你们也要听见打仗和打仗的风声，总不要惊慌；因为这些事是必须有的，只是末期还没有到。

7民要攻打民，国要攻打国；多处必有饥荒、地震。

8这都是灾难的起头。

9那时，人要把你们陷在患难里，也要杀害你们；你们又要为我的名被万民恨恶。

10那时，必有许多人跌倒，也要彼此陷害，彼此恨恶；

11且有好些假先知起来，迷惑多人。

12只因不法的事增多，许多人的爱心才渐渐冷淡了。

13惟有忍耐到底的，必然得救。

14这天国的福音要传遍天下，对万民作见证，然后末期才来到。」

大灾难

15「你们看见先知但以理所说的『那行毁坏可憎的』站在圣地（读这经的人须要会意）。

16那时，在犹太的，应当逃到山上；

17在房上的，不要下来拿家里的东西；

18在田里的，也不要回去取衣裳。

19当那些日子，怀孕的和奶孩子的有祸了。

20你们应当祈求，叫你们逃走的时候，不遇见冬天或是安息日。

21因为那时必有大灾难，从世界的起头直到如今，没有这样的灾难，后来也必没有。

22若不减少那日子，凡有血气的总没有一个得救的；只是为选民，那日子必减少了。

23那时，若有人对你们说：『基督在这里』，或说：『基督在那里』，你们不要信！

24因为假基督、假先知将要起来，显大神迹、大奇事，倘若能行，连选民也就迷惑了。

25看哪，我预先告诉你们了。

26若有人对你们说：『看哪，基督在旷野里』，你们不要出去！或说：『看哪，基督在内屋中』，你们不要信！

27闪电从东边发出，直照到西边。人子降临也要这样。

28尸首在哪里，鹰也必聚在那里。」

人子的降临

29「那些日子的灾难一过去，日头就变黑了， 月亮也不放光， 众星要从天上坠落， 天势都要震动。

30那时，人子的兆头要显在天上，地上的万族都要哀哭。他们要看见人子，有能力，有大荣耀，驾着天上的云降临。

31他要差遣使者，用号筒的大声，将他的选民，从四方，从天这边到天那边，都招聚了来。」

从无花果树学个比方

32「你们可以从无花果树学个比方：当树枝发嫩长叶的时候，你们就知道夏天近了。

33这样，你们看见这一切的事，也该知道人子近了，正在门口了。

34我实在告诉你们，这世代还没有过去，这些事都要成就。

35天地要废去，我的话却不能废去。」

那日那时没有人知道

36「但那日子，那时辰，没有人知道，连天上的使者也不知道，子也不知道，惟独父知道。

37挪亚的日子怎样，人子降临也要怎样。

38当洪水以前的日子，人照常吃喝嫁娶，直到挪亚进方舟的那日；

39不知不觉洪水来了，把他们全都冲去。人子降临也要这样。

40那时，两个人在田里，取去一个，撇下一个。

41两个女人推磨，取去一个，撇下一个。

42所以，你们要警醒，因为不知道你们的主是哪一天来到。

43家主若知道几更天有贼来，就必警醒，不容人挖透房屋；这是你们所知道的。

44所以，你们也要预备，因为你们想不到的时候，人子就来了。」

忠心和不忠心的仆人

45「谁是忠心有见识的仆人，为主人所派，管理家里的人，按时分粮给他们呢？

46主人来到，看见他这样行，那仆人就有福了。

47我实在告诉你们，主人要派他管理一切所有的。

48倘若那恶仆心里说：『我的主人必来得迟』，

49就动手打他的同伴，又和酒醉的人一同吃喝。

50在想不到的日子，不知道的时辰，那仆人的主人要来，

51重重地处治他，定他和假冒为善的人同罪；在那里必要哀哭切齿了。」
