Daniel 9:24-27

New American Standard Bible 1995

Seventy Weeks and the Messiah

²⁴ “Seventy ^[a](A)weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to ^[b]finish the transgression, to ^[c]make an end of sin, to ^(B)make atonement for iniquity, to bring in ^(C)everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and ^[d]prophecy and to anoint the most holy place. ²⁵ So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a ^[e](D)decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until ^[f](E)Messiah the ^(F)Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with ^[g]plaza and moat, even in times of distress. ²⁶ Then after the sixty-two weeks the ^[h]Messiah will be ^(G)cut off and have ^[i]nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will ^(H)destroy the city and the sanctuary. And ^[j]its end will come with a ^(I)flood; even to the end ^[k]there will be war; desolations are determined. ²⁷ And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of ^[l](J)abominations will come one who ^[m]makes desolate, even until a ^(K)complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who ^[n]makes desolate.”
