Matteus 24
Svenska Folkbibeln
Templet skall brytas ner
24 När Jesus lämnade templet och var på väg ut, kom hans lärjungar fram och visade honom på tempelbyggnaderna. 2 Men han sade till dem: "Ni ser allt detta. Amen säger jag er: Här skall inte lämnas sten på sten. Allt skall brytas ner."
Nöd och förföljelse
3 När Jesus sedan satt på Oljeberget och lärjungarna var ensamma med honom, gick de fram till honom och frågade: "Säg oss: När skall detta ske, och vad blir tecknet på din återkomst och den här tidsålderns slut?" 4 Jesus svarade dem: "Se till att ingen bedrar er. 5 Ty många skall komma i mitt namn och säga: Jag är Messias, och de skall leda många vilse. 6 Ni kommer att höra stridslarm och rykten om krig. Se då till att ni inte blir skrämda. Ty detta måste hända, men därmed har slutet ännu inte kommit. 7 Folk skall resa sig mot folk och rike mot rike, och det skall bli hungersnöd och jordbävningar på den ena platsen efter den andra. 8 Men allt detta är bara början på 'födslovåndorna'.[a]
9 Då skall man utlämna er till att misshandlas och dödas, och ni kommer att bli hatade av alla folk för mitt namns skull. 10 Och då skall många komma på fall, och de skall förråda varandra och hata varandra. 11 Många falska profeter skall träda fram och bedra många. 12 Och eftersom laglösheten tilltar, kommer kärleken att svalna hos de flesta. 13 Men den som håller ut intill slutet skall bli frälst. 14 Och detta evangelium om riket skall predikas i hela världen till ett vittnesbörd för alla folk, och sedan skall slutet komma.
Förödelsens styggelse
15 När ni då ser 'förödelsens styggelse',[b] som profeten Daniel talar om, stå på helig plats - den som läser detta bör noga lägga märke till det - 16 då måste de som är i Judeen fly bort till bergen. 17 Den som är på taket skall inte gå ner för att ta med sig det som finns i huset, 18 och den som är på åkern skall inte vända tillbaka för att hämta sin mantel. 19 Ve dem som väntar barn eller ammar i de dagarna! 20 Be att ni inte måste fly under vintern eller på sabbaten. 21 Ty då skall det bli en så stor nöd att något liknande inte förekommit sedan världens begynnelse och aldrig mer skall förekomma. 22 Och om inte den tiden förkortades, skulle ingen människa bli frälst. Men för de utvaldas skull kommer den tiden att förkortas.
23 Om någon då säger till er: Se här är Messias, eller: Där är han, så tro det inte. 24 Ty falska messiasgestalter och falska profeter skall träda fram och göra stora tecken och under för att om möjligt bedra även de utvalda. 25 Jag har nu sagt er detta i förväg. 26 Om de alltså säger till er: Han är i öknen, så gå inte dit, eller: Han är i de inre rummen, så tro det inte. 27 Ty liksom blixten går ut från öster och syns ända borta i väster, så skall Människosonens ankomst vara. 28 Där den döda kroppen är samlas gamarna.
Människosonens återkomst
29 Strax efter de dagarnas nöd skall solen förmörkas och månen inte ge sitt sken. Stjärnorna skall falla från himlen, och himlens krafter skall skakas. 30 Då skall Människosonens tecken synas på himlen, och jordens alla folk skall jämra sig, när de ser Människosonen komma på himlens moln med stor makt och härlighet.[c] 31 Med starkt basunljud skall han sända ut sina änglar, och de skall samla hans utvalda från de fyra väderstrecken, från himlens ena ända till den andra.
32 Lär av en jämförelse med fikonträdet. Redan när kvisten blir mjuk och bladen spricker ut, vet ni att sommaren är nära. 33 När ni ser allt detta vet ni på samma sätt att han är nära och står vid dörren. 34 Amen säger jag er: Detta släkte skall inte dö, förrän allt detta händer. 35 Himmel och jord skall förgå, men mina ord skall aldrig förgå. 36 Men om den dagen eller stunden vet ingen något, inte himlens änglar, inte ens Sonen, ingen utom Fadern.
37 Ty som det var i Noas dagar, så skall det vara vid Människosonens återkomst. 38 Som människorna levde dagarna före floden: de åt och drack, gifte sig och blev bortgifta, ända till den dag då Noa gick in i arken, 39 och de visste ingenting, förrän floden kom och ryckte bort dem alla - så skall Människosonens ankomst vara. 40 Då skall två män vara ute på åkern. Den ene skall tas med, den andre lämnas kvar. 41 Två kvinnor skall mala på en handkvarn. Den ena skall tas med, den andra lämnas kvar.
42 Var därför vaksamma. Ty ni vet inte vilken dag er Herre kommer. 43 Men det förstår ni att om husets ägare visste när på natten[d] tjuven kom, då skulle han hålla sig vaken och inte tillåta att någon bröt sig in i hans hus. 44 Var därför också ni beredda! Ty i en stund när ni inte väntar det kommer Människosonen.
45 Om det finns en trogen och förståndig tjänare, som av sin herre blivit satt över de andra tjänarna för att ge dem mat i rätt tid, 46 salig är den tjänaren, om hans herre finner honom göra så, när han kommer. 47 Amen säger jag er: Han skall sätta honom över allt vad han äger. 48 Men om tjänaren är ond och säger i sitt hjärta: Min herre dröjer, 49 och han börjar slå de andra tjänarna och äter och dricker med dem som är druckna, 50 då skall hans herre komma en dag när tjänaren inte väntar honom och i en stund han inte känner till 51 och hugga honom i stycken och låta honom få sin plats bland hycklare. Där skall man gråta och skära tänder.

New International Version
The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times(A)
24 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another;(B) every one will be thrown down.”
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives,(C) the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming(D) and of the end of the age?”(E)
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.(F) 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.(G) 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.(H) There will be famines(I) and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted(J) and put to death,(K) and you will be hated by all nations because of me.(L) 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets(M) will appear and deceive many people.(N) 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(O) 14 And this gospel of the kingdom(P) will be preached in the whole world(Q) as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15 “So when you see standing in the holy place(R) ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a](S) spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop(T) go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!(U) 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.(V)
22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect(W) those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.(X) 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders(Y) to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning(Z) that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming(AA) of the Son of Man.(AB) 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.(AC)
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b](AD)
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn(AE) when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven,(AF) with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels(AG) with a loud trumpet call,(AH) and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[e] is near, right at the door.(AI) 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.(AJ) 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(AK)
The Day and Hour Unknown(AL)(AM)
36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father.(AN) 37 As it was in the days of Noah,(AO) so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,(AP) up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.(AQ) 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.(AR) 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.(AS)
42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.(AT) 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming,(AU) he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready,(AV) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant,(AW) whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.(AX) 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.(AY) 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.(AZ) 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.(BA)

English Standard Version
Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple
24 (A)Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, (B)there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”
Signs of the End of the Age
3 As he sat on (C)the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him (D)privately, saying, “Tell us, (E)when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your (F)coming and of (G)the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, (H)“See that no one leads you astray. 5 For (I)many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am (J)the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you (K)are not alarmed, for this (L)must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For (M)nation will rise against nation, and (N)kingdom against kingdom, and there will be (O)famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of (P)the birth pains.
9 “Then (Q)they will deliver you up (R)to tribulation and (S)put you to death, and (T)you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away[a] and (U)betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many (V)false prophets will arise (W)and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, (X)the love of many will grow cold. 13 (Y)But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom (Z)will be proclaimed throughout the whole world (AA)as a testimony (AB)to all nations, and (AC)then the end will come.
The Abomination of Desolation
15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation (AD)spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in (AE)the holy place ((AF)let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 (AG)Let the one who is on (AH)the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And (AI)alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be (AJ)great tribulation, (AK)such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for (AL)the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 (AM)Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For (AN)false christs and (AO)false prophets will arise and (AP)perform great signs and wonders, (AQ)so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, (AR)I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, (AS)he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 (AT)For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be (AU)the coming of the Son of Man. 28 (AV)Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
The Coming of the Son of Man
29 “Immediately after (AW)the tribulation of those days (AX)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and (AY)the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then (AZ)will appear in heaven (BA)the sign of the Son of Man, and then (BB)all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and (BC)they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven (BD)with power and great glory. 31 And (BE)he will send out his angels with a loud (BF)trumpet call, and they will (BG)gather (BH)his elect from (BI)the four winds, (BJ)from one end of heaven to the other.
The Lesson of the Fig Tree
32 “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, (BK)at the very gates. 34 (BL)Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 35 (BM)Heaven and earth will pass away, but (BN)my words will not pass away.
No One Knows That Day and Hour
36 “But concerning that day and hour (BO)no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, (BP)nor the Son,[b] (BQ)but the Father only. 37 (BR)For as were the days of Noah, (BS)so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 (BT)For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, (BU)marrying and giving in marriage, until (BV)the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, (BW)so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 (BX)Two women will be grinding (BY)at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42 Therefore, (BZ)stay awake, for you do not know on what day (CA)your Lord is coming. 43 (CB)But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night (CC)the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be (CD)ready, for (CE)the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
45 “Who then is (CF)the faithful and (CG)wise servant,[c] whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 (CH)Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47 Truly, I say to you, (CI)he will set him over all his possessions. 48 But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master (CJ)is delayed,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants[d] and eats and drinks with (CK)drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come (CL)on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51 and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place (CM)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
