Matthew 24:23-31

English Standard Version

²³^(A)Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. ²⁴For ^(B)false christs and ^(C)false prophets will arise and ^(D)perform great signs and wonders, ^(E)so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. ²⁵See, ^(F)I have told you beforehand. ²⁶So, if they say to you, ‘Look, ^(G)he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. ²⁷^(H)For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be ^(I)the coming of the Son of Man. ²⁸^(J)Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

The Coming of the Son of Man

²⁹“Immediately after ^(K)the tribulation of those days ^(L)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and ^(M)the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. ³⁰Then ^(N)will appear in heaven ^(O)the sign of the Son of Man, and then ^(P)all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and ^(Q)they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven ^(R)with power and great glory. ³¹And ^(S)he will send out his angels with a loud ^(T)trumpet call, and they will ^(U)gather ^(V)his elect from ^(W)the four winds, ^(X)from one end of heaven to the other.
