Matthew 24
Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple
1Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
2But he answered them, “You see all of these things, don’t you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down.”
3As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
8But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
9“Then they will deliver you up to oppression and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.
10Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
11Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.
12Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
13But he who endures to the end will be saved.
14This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
The Abomination of Desolation
15“When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.
18Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.
19But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
20Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor on a Sabbath,
21for then there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
22Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
23“Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.
24For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
25“Behold, I have told you beforehand.
26“If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.
27For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
28For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.
The Coming of the Son of Man
29“But immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
30and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
31He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
32“Now from the fig tree learn this parable: When its branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near.
33Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.
34Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
No One Knows That Day and Hour
36“But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
38For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,
39and they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
40Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.
41Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.
42Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.
43But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
44Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.
The Faithful and the Unfaithful Servant
45“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
46Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
47Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
48But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’
49and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
50the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn’t expect it and in an hour when he doesn’t know it,
51and will cut him in pieces and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.

Theme
Jesus delivers his major eschatological discourse, beginning with a prophecy of the temple's destruction that prompts the disciples to ask about the signs of his coming and the end of the age. He describes a sequence of events including false messiahs, wars, persecution, and the 'abomination of desolation' before his glorious return. The chapter emphasizes the need for vigilance and faithfulness while acknowledging that the exact timing remains unknown, concluding with a parable about faithful stewardship during the master's absence.
Context
This discourse follows Jesus' final temple confrontations in chapters 21-23 and introduces the extended teaching on the end times that continues through chapter 25.
Key Themes
Outline
- 1-8 Temple Destruction and Signs of the End Jesus predicts the temple's destruction and describes the beginning signs of the end times including false messiahs, wars, and natural disasters.
- 9-14 Persecution and Gospel Proclamation Jesus warns of coming persecution, apostasy, and the cooling of love, but promises salvation for those who endure and global gospel proclamation.
- 15-28 The Great Tribulation and False Messiahs Jesus describes the abomination of desolation, unprecedented suffering, and warns against deceptive claims about his return.
- 29-35 The Glorious Coming of the Son of Man Jesus describes cosmic signs and his visible, glorious return to gather the elect from across the earth.
- 36-44 The Unknown Hour and Need for Readiness Jesus emphasizes that no one knows the timing of his return, comparing it to Noah's day and urging constant readiness.
- 45-51 Parable of the Faithful and Unfaithful Servants Jesus illustrates the importance of faithful stewardship while awaiting the master's return through a parable of contrasting servants.

The Abomination of Desolation
24:15–24:28 gospel instruction urgent
Jesus warns of the abomination of desolation prophesied by Daniel, urging immediate flight from Judea and warning against false messiahs during the unprecedented tribulation that will follow.
person_contrast

The Coming of the Son of Man

Jesus describes cosmic signs accompanying his glorious return as Son of Man, when angels will gather the elect, using the fig tree parable to emphasize the certainty and nearness of these prophetic events.
person_contrast
Jesus uniquely combines his typical authority and judgment themes with prophetic language about gathering the elect, making this one of only four passages where he explicitly discusses both cosmic signs and the chosen people's restoration.
No One Knows That Day and Hour
24:36–24:44 gospel instruction warning
Jesus emphasizes the unknown timing of his return, comparing it to Noah's flood, and calls for constant readiness and watchfulness since the Son of Man will come unexpectedly like a thief.

The Faithful and the Unfaithful Servant
24:45–24:51 parable parable-telling warning
Jesus teaches about faithful and unfaithful servants, warning that those who abuse their authority while their master delays will face severe judgment when he returns unexpectedly.
