\subsection{Matthew 24}
\subsubsection{The Destrution of the Temple}
\VS{1} And coming out Iesous departed from the temple and his disciples came to him 
to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 
\VS{2} And answering he 
said to them: Do you not see all these [things]? Truly I say to you there will not 
be left here [a] stone upon [a] stone that will not be thrown down. 

\subsubsection{Signs of the End of the Age}
\VS{3} And 
when he sat upon the mount of olives the disciples came to him privately 
saying: Tell us when will these [things] be? And what are the signs of your coming 
and the completion of the age? 
\VS{4} And answering Iesous said to them: Be 
seeing that no one deceive you. 
\VS{5} For many will come on my name saying: 
I am the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One], and many will be deceived. 
\VS{6} But you will hear [of] wars 
and the rumor of wars. See that you are not being troubled, for these 
[things] must come to pass, but not yet is the end. 
\VS{7} For nation will rise 
against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and 
earthquakes in diverse places. 
\VS{8} All these [things] are the beginning of 
birth-pangs. 

\subsubsection{Persecution of Disciples}
\VS{9} Then they will give you over to affliction and they will 
kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of my name. 
\VS{10} And then many will be stumbled\footnote{or ``offended" } and they 
will betray each other and will hate each other. 
\VS{11} And many false 
prophets will rise and will deceive many. 
\VS{12} And because lawlessness 
shall abound, the agape-love of many will grow cold. 
\VS{13} But the [one] having 
endured to the end, this [one] will be saved. 
\VS{14} And this gospel of the 
kingdom will be preached in the whole world as [a] witness to all the nations, 
and then will the end come. 

\subsubsection{The Abomination of Desolation}
\VS{15} When therefore you see the abomination 
of devastation\footnote{or ``desolation''}, the [thing] said through Daniel the 
prophet, stand in the holy place, the [one] who reads, let\fnImperative{} 
him understand, 
\VS{16} then those in Judea, let\fnImperative{} them 
flee to the mountains. 
\VS{17} The [one] on the roof, let\fnImperative{} 
him not come down to take anything out of his house, 
\VS{18} and the [one] in the 
field, let\fnImperative{} him not turn back to take his clothes, 
\VS{19} but woe to the pregnant and those giving suck in those days. 
\VS{20} But be praying in order that your flight not come to pass in winter or on 
the Sabbath. 
\VS{21} For then will there be great afflictions such as have 
not come to pass from the beginning to this time nor shall \negd{ever} 
be. 
\VS{22} And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved, 
but because of the chosen those days will be shortened. 
\VS{23} Then if any 
say to you: Behold here [is] the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One], or: There, do not believe him. 
\VS{24} For false Anointed\fnChristos{} [Ones] and false prophets shall rise and shall give great signs 
and wonders\footnote{or ``omens''}, so as to deceive, if possible, even the 
chosen. 
\VS{25} Behold I have forewarned you. 
\VS{26} If therefore they say 
to you: Behold he is in the desert, do not go. Behold he is in the inner 
room, do not believe. 
\VS{27} For as the lightning comes out from the east 
and shines to the west, thus is the coming of the son of man. 
\VS{28} Where the carcass is, there will be gathered the vultures. 

\subsubsection{The Arrival of the Son of Man}
\VS{29} But immediately 
after the affliction of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon 
will not give its radiance, and the starts will fall from heaven, and the 
powers of the heavens will be shaken. 
\VS{30} And then will be manifest the 
sign of the son of man in heaven, and then all the tribes of the land will 
hide and will see the son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power 
and great glory. 
\VS{31} And he will send his angels with great 
trumpet-calls, and they will gather his chosen from the four winds, from one 
end of heaven to the other. 

\subsubsection{The Parable of the Fig Tree}
\VS{32} Learn from the fig tree the parable: 
When its branches already become tender and the leaves put forth, you know 
that summer is near. 
\VS{33} Thus you also when you see all these [things], you will 
know that it is near, [even] at the doors. 
\VS{34} Truly I say to you that this 
generation shall \negd{not} pass away until all these [things] come to pass. 
\VS{35} Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will \negd{not} 
pass away. 

\subsubsection{Be Ready!}
\VS{36} Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, not even the 
angels of the heavens, nor the son\footnote{``nor the son'' \sinaiticus{}BD many; 
omit: W \vulgate{} \koine }, except the father only. 
\VS{37} For as the days of Noah, thus 
will be the coming of the son of man. 
\VS{38} For as they were in those days 
before the deluge gnawing\footnote{\TROGO} eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage until which day Noah entered into the ark, 
\VS{39} and they did not know 
until the deluge came and took them all, thus also will be the coming of the 
son of man. 
\VS{40} Then will two be in the field, one is taken and one is 
left. 
\VS{41} Two [are] grinding in the mill, one is taken and one left. 

\VS{42} Be watching therefore, for you know not what day your Lord comes. 
\VS{43} But this you know that if the master of the house knew in which watch the 
thief comes, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to 
be broken into. 
\VS{44} For this reason you also become ready, for in which 
hour you do not suppose the son of man comes. 

\subsubsection{The Faithful and Wise Slave}
\VS{45} Who therefore is the 
trustworthy and shrewd slave who the Lord appointed over his household to 
give them food at the proper-time\fnKairos{}? 
\VS{46} Blessed is that slave who when 
his Lord comes he will find thus doing. 
\VS{47} Truly I say to you that he 
will appoint him over all his possessions. 
\VS{48} But if that evil slave
should say in his heart: My Lord delays, 
\VS{49} and begins to be beating his fellow-slaves, 
eating and drinking with the drunks, 
\VS{50} the Lord of 
that slave will come in [an] hour which he knows not, 
\VS{51} and he will cut 
him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites. There will there 
be wailing and grinding\footnote{or ``gnashing," ``biting," ``snarling"} of 
teeth.
