1 And as he was departing from the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, observe these fine stones and fine structures.”
1 Y SALIENDO del templo, le dice uno de sus discípulos: Maestro, mira qué piedras, y qué edificios.
2 And in response, Jesus said to him: “Do you see all these great buildings? There shall not be left stone upon stone, which is not torn down.”
2 Y Jesús respondiendo, le dijo: ¿Ves estos grandes edificios? no quedará piedra sobre piedra que no sea derribada.
3 And as he sat at the Mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew questioned him privately.
3 Y sentándose en el monte de las Olivas delante del templo, le preguntaron aparte Pedro y Jacobo y Juan y Andrés:
4 “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things will begin to be fulfilled?”
4 Dinos, ¿cuándo serán estas cosas? ¿y qué señal [habrá] cuando todas estas cosas han de cumplirse?
5 And Jesus, answering, began to say to them: “See to it that no one leads you astray.
5 Y Jesús respondiéndoles, comenzó á decir: Mirad, que nadie os engañe;
6 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘For I am he,’ and they will lead many astray.
6 Porque vendrán muchos en mi nombre, diciendo: Yo soy [el Cristo]; y engañarán á muchos.
7 But when you will have heard of wars and rumors of wars, you should not be afraid. For these things must be, but the end is not so soon.
7 Mas cuando oyereis de guerras y de rumores de guerras no os turbéis, porque conviene hacerse [así]; mas aun no [será] el fin.
8 For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom over kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are but the beginning of the sorrows.
8 Porque se levantará nación contra nación, y reino contra reino; y habrá terremotos en muchos lugares, y habrá hambres y alborotos; principios de dolores [serán] estos.
9 But see to yourselves. For they will hand you over to councils, and in the synagogues you will be beaten, and you shall stand before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony for them.
9 Mas vosotros mirad por vosotros: porque os entregarán en los concilios, y en sinagogas seréis azotados: y delante de presidentes y de reyes seréis llamados por causa de mí, en testimonio á ellos.
10 And the Gospel must first be preached to all nations.
10 Y á todas las gentes conviene que el evangelio sea predicado antes.
11 And when they have seized you and handed you over, do not consider in advance what to say. But whatever will be given you in that hour, say that. For you will not be speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
11 Y cuando os trajeren para entregaros, no premeditéis qué habéis de decir, ni [lo] penséis: mas lo que os fuere dado en aquella hora, eso hablad; porque no sois vosotros los que habláis, sino el Espíritu Santo.
12 Then brother will betray brother to death, and the father, a son; and children will rise up against their parents and will bring about their death.
12 Y entregará á la muerte el hermano al hermano, y el padre al hijo: y se levantarán los hijos contra los padres, y los matarán.
13 And you will be hated by all for the sake of my name. But whoever will have persevered unto the end, the same will be saved.
13 Y seréis aborrecidos de todos por mi nombre: mas el que perseverare hasta el fin, éste será salvo.
14 Then, when you have seen the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not to be, let the reader understand: then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
14 Empero cuando viereis la abominación de asolamiento, que fué dicha por el profeta Daniel, que estará donde no debe (el que lee, entienda), entonces los que estén en Judea huyan á los montes;
15 And let whoever is on the rooftop not descend to the house, nor enter so as to take anything from the house.
15 Y el que esté sobre el terrado, no descienda á la casa, ni entre para tomar algo de su casa;
16 And let whoever may be in the field not return to take his garment.
16 Y el que estuviere en el campo, no vuelva atrás á tomar su capa.
17 But woe to those who are pregnant or nursing in those days.
17 Mas ¡ay de las preñadas, y de las que criaren en aquellos días!
18 Truly, pray that these things may not happen in winter.
18 Orad pues, que no acontezca vuestra huída en invierno.
19 For those days shall have such tribulations as have not been since the beginning of the creation that God founded, even until now, and shall not be.
19 Porque aquellos días serán de aflicción, cual nunca fué desde el principio de la creación que crió Dios, hasta este tiempo, ni será.
20 And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would be saved. But, for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days.
20 Y si el Señor no hubiese abreviado aquellos días, ninguna carne se salvaría; mas por causa de los escogidos que él escogió, abrevió aquellos días.
21 And then, if anyone will have said to you: ‘Behold, here is the Christ. Behold, in that place.’ Do not believe it.
21 Y entonces si alguno os dijere: He aquí, aquí está el Cristo; ó, He aquí, allí [está], no [le] creáis.
22 For false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and they will present signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if it were possible, even the elect.
22 Porque se levantarán falsos Cristos y falsos profetas, y darán señales y prodigios, para engañar, si se pudiese hacer, aun á los escogidos.
23 Therefore, you must take heed. Behold, I have foretold all to you.
23 Mas vosotros mirad; os lo he dicho antes todo.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her splendor.
24 Empero en aquellos días, después de aquella aflicción, el sol se obscurecerá, y la luna no dará su resplandor;
25 And the stars of heaven will be falling down, and the powers that are in heaven will be moved.
25 Y las estrellas caerán del cielo, y las virtudes que están en los cielos serán conmovidas;
26 And then they shall see the Son of man arriving on the clouds, with great power and glory.
26 Y entonces verán al Hijo del hombre, que vendrá en las nubes con mucha potestad y gloria.
27 And then he will send his Angels, and gather together his elect, from the four winds, from the limits of the earth, to the limits of heaven.
27 Y entonces enviará sus ángeles, y juntará sus escogidos de los cuatro vientos, desde el cabo de la tierra hasta el cabo del cielo.
28 Now from the fig tree discern a parable. When its branch becomes tender and the foliage has been formed, you know that summer is very near.
28 De la higuera aprended la semejanza: Cuando su rama ya se enternece, y brota hojas, conocéis que el verano está cerca:
29 So also, when you will have seen these things happen, know that it is very near, even at the doors.
29 Así también vosotros, cuando viereis hacerse estas cosas, conoced que está cerca, á las puertas.
30 Amen I say to you, that this lineage shall not pass away, until all these things have happened.
30 De cierto os digo que no pasará esta generación, que todas estas cosas no sean hechas.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.
31 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, mas mis palabras no pasarán.
32 But concerning that day or hour, no one knows, neither the Angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
32 Empero de aquel día y de la hora, nadie sabe; ni aun los ángeles que están en el cielo, ni el Hijo, sino el Padre.
33 Take heed, be vigilant, and pray. For you do not know when the time may be.
33 Mirad, velad y orad: porque no sabéis cuándo será el tiempo.
34 It is like a man who, setting out on a sojourn, left behind his house, and gave his servants authority over every work, and instructed the doorkeeper to stand watch.
34 Como el hombre que partiéndose lejos, dejó su casa, y dió facultad á sus siervos, y á cada uno su obra, y al portero mandó que velase:
35 Therefore, be vigilant, for you do not know when the lord of the house may arrive: in the evening, or in the middle of the night, or at first light, or in the morning.
35 Velad pues, porque no sabéis cuándo el señor de la casa vendrá; [si] á la tarde, ó á la media noche, ó al canto del gallo, ó á la mañana;
36 Otherwise, when he will have arrived unexpectedly, he may find you sleeping.
36 Porque cuando viniere de repente, no os halle durmiendo.
37 But what I say to you, I say to all: Be vigilant.”
37 Y las cosas que á vosotros digo, á todos [las] digo: Velad.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The advice, Brethren, which ye have just heard Scripture give, when it tells us to watch for the last day, every one should think of as concerning his own last day; lest haply when ye judge or think the last day of the world to be far distant, ye slumber with respect to your own last day.

… of God; while even the Lord, the very Son of God, allowed that the Father alone knows the very day and hour of judgment, when He plainly declares, "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, neither the Son, but the Father only." If, then, the Son was not ashamed to ascribe the knowledge of that day to …
Ye have heard what Jesus said concerning the last day of this world, "That neither the Angels of heaven, nor the Son knew it, but the Father." Where indeed there is a great difficulty, lest understanding this in a carnal way, we think that the Father knoweth anything which the Son knoweth not.

"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of Heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." By saying, not the angels, He stopped their mouths, that they should not seek to learn what these angels know not; and by saying, "neither the Son," forbids them not only to learn, but even to inquire.

Their tenth objection is the ignorance, and the statement that Of the last day and hour knoweth no man, not even the Son Himself, but the Father. And yet how can Wisdom be ignorant of anything--that is, Wisdom Who made the worlds, Who perfects them, Who remodels them, Who is the Limit of all things that were made, Who knoweth …
