1 As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.
1 Y SALIDO Jesús, íbase del templo; y se llegaron sus discípulos, para mostrarle los edificios del templo.
1 Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
2 “Do you see all these things?” Jesus replied. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
2 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: ¿Veis todo esto? de cierto os digo, que no será dejada aquí piedra sobre piedra, que no sea destruída.
2 But 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.”
3 While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”
3 Y sentándose él en el monte de las Olivas, se llegaron á él los discípulos aparte, diciendo: Dinos, ¿cuándo serán estas cosas, y qué señal [habrá] de tu venida, y del fin del mundo?
3 As 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?”
4 Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.
4 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Mirad que nadie os engañe.
4 Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5 For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
5 Porque vendrán muchos en mi nombre, diciendo: Yo soy el Cristo; y á muchos engañarán.
5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. All these things must happen, but the end is still to come.
6 Y oiréis guerras, y rumores de guerras: mirad que no os turbéis; porque es menester que todo [esto] acontezca; mas aún no es el fin.
6 You 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.
7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
7 Porque se levantará nación contra nación, y reino contra reino; y habrá pestilencias, y hambres, y terremotos por los lugares.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
8 Y todas estas cosas, principio de dolores.

9 Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
9 Entonces os entregarán para ser afligidos, y os matarán; y seréis aborrecidos de todas las gentes por causa de mi nombre.
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.
10 At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,
10 Y muchos entonces serán escandalizados; y se entregarán unos á otros, y unos á otros se aborrecerán.
10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
11 and many false prophets will arise and deceive many.
11 Y muchos falsos profetas se levantarán y engañarán á muchos.

12 Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
12 Y por haberse multiplicado la maldad, la caridad de muchos se resfriará.

13 But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
13 Mas el que perseverare hasta el fin, éste será salvo.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
14 Y será predicado este evangelio del reino en todo el mundo, por testimonio á todos los Gentiles; y entonces vendrá el fin.
14 This 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.
15 So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),
15 Por tanto, cuando viereis la abominación del asolamiento, que fué dicha por Daniel profeta, que estará en el lugar santo, (el que lee, entienda),
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),

17 Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.

21 Porque habrá entonces grande aflicción, cual no fué desde el principio del mundo hasta ahora, ni será.
21 for then there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.
22 Y si aquellos días no fuesen acortados, ninguna carne sería salva; mas por causa de los escogidos, aquellos días serán acortados.
22 Unless 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 At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
23 Entonces, si alguno os dijere: He aquí está el Cristo, ó allí, no creáis.
23 “Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.
24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
24 Porque se levantarán falsos Cristos, y falsos profetas, y darán señales grandes y prodigios; de tal manera que engañarán, si [es] posible, aun á los escogidos.
24 For 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.

26 Así que, si os dijeren: He aquí en el desierto está; no salgáis: He aquí en las cámaras; no creáis.
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.
27 For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
27 Porque como el relámpago que sale del oriente y se muestra hasta el occidente, así será también la venida del Hijo del hombre.
27 For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
28 For wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
28 Porque donde quiera que estuviere el cuerpo muerto, allí se juntarán las águilas.
28 For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation 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 powers of the heavens will be shaken.’
29 Y luego después de la aflicción de aquellos días, el sol se obscurecerá, y la luna no dará su lumbre, y las estrellas caerán del cielo, y las virtudes de los cielos serán conmovidas.
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;
30 At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
30 Y entonces se mostrará la señal del Hijo del hombre en el cielo; y entonces lamentarán todas las tribus de la tierra, y verán al Hijo del hombre que vendrá sobre las nubes del cielo, con grande poder y gloria.
30 and 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.
31 And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
31 Y enviará sus ángeles con gran voz de trompeta, y juntarán sus escogidos de los cuatro vientos, de un cabo del cielo hasta el otro.
31 He 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 learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.
32 De la higuera aprended la parábola: Cuando ya su rama se enternece, y las hojas brotan, sabéis que el verano está cerca.
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.
33 So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.
33 Así también vosotros, cuando viereis todas estas cosas, sabed que está cercano, á las puertas.
33 Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.
34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
34 De cierto os digo, [que] no pasará esta generación, que todas estas cosas no acontezcan.

35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
35 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, mas mis palabras no pasarán.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
36 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, but only My Father.
36 Empero del día y hora nadie sabe, ni aun los ángeles de los cielos, sino mi Padre solo.
36 “But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
37 Mas como los días de Noé, así será la venida del Hijo del hombre.
37 As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.
38 Porque como en los días antes del diluvio estaban comiendo y bebiendo, casándose y dando en casamiento, hasta el día que Noé entró en el arca,
38 For 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,
39 And they were oblivious until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
39 Y no conocieron hasta que vino el diluvio y llevó á todos, así será también la venida del Hijo del hombre.
39 and they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
40 Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.
40 Entonces estarán dos en el campo; el uno será tomado, y el otro será dejado:
40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
41 Dos mujeres moliendo á un molinillo; la una será tomada, y la otra será dejada.
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.
42 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the hour in which your Lord will come.
42 Velad pues, porque no sabéis á qué hora ha de venir vuestro Señor.
42 Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.
43 But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
43 Esto empero sabed, que si el padre de la familia supiese á cuál vela el ladrón había de venir, velaría, y no dejaría minar su casa.
43 But 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.
44 For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
44 Por tanto, también vosotros estad apercibidos; porque el Hijo del hombre ha de venir á la hora que no pensáis.
44 Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.
45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?
45 ¿Quién pues es el siervo fiel y prudente, al cual puso su señor sobre su familia para que les dé alimento á tiempo?
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?
46 Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
46 Bienaventurado aquel siervo, al cual, cuando su señor viniere, le hallare haciendo así.
46 Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
47 De cierto os digo, que sobre todos sus bienes le pondrá.
47 Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming.’
48 Y si aquel siervo malo dijere en su corazón: Mi señor se tarda en venir:
48 But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’
49 And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.
49 Y comenzare á herir á sus consiervos, y aun á comer y á beber con los borrachos;
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
50 The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.
50 Vendrá el señor de aquel siervo en el día que no espera, y á la hora que no sabe,
50 the 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,
51 Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 Y le cortará por medio, y pondrá su parte con los hipócritas: allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.
51 and will cut him in pieces and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.

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).
For inasmuch as He said, "Your house is left desolate," and had previously forewarned them of many grievous things; therefore the disciples having heard these things, as though marvelling at it, came unto Him, showing the beauty of the temple, and wondering, if so much beauty was to be destroyed, and materials so costly, and variety of workmanship past utterance; …
