PT Patriarchal Text (Antoniades 1904/1912)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 και εξελθων ο ιησους επορευετο απο του ιερου· και προσηλθον οι μαθηται αυτου επιδειξαι αυτω τας οικοδομας του ιερου.
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 ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· ου βλεπετε ταυτα παντα; αμην λεγω υμιν, ου μη αφεθη ωδε λιθος επι λιθον, ος ου καταλυθησεται.
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 καθημενου δε αυτου επι του ορους των ελαιων προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται κατ ιδιαν λεγοντες· ειπε ημιν ποτε ταυτα εσται, και τι το σημειον της σης παρουσιας και της συντελειας του αιωνος;
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 και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· βλεπετε μη τις υμας πλανηση.
4 Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5 πολλοι γαρ ελευσονται επι τω ονοματι μου λεγοντες, εγω ειμι ο χριστος, και πολλους πλανησουσιν.
5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
6 μελλησετε δε ακουειν πολεμους και ακοας πολεμων· ορατε μη θροεισθε· δει γαρ παντα γενεσθαι, αλλ ουπω εστιν το τελος.
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 εγερθησεται γαρ εθνος επι εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν, και εσονται λιμοι και λοιμοι και σεισμοι κατα τοπους·
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
8 παντα δε ταυτα αρχη ωδινων.
8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
9 τοτε παραδωσουσιν υμας εις θλιψιν και αποκτενουσιν υμας, και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων των εθνων δια το ονομα μου.
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 και τοτε σκανδαλισθησονται πολλοι και αλληλους παραδωσουσιν και μισησουσιν αλληλους.
10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
11 και πολλοι ψευδοπροφηται εγερθησονται και πλανησουσιν πολλους,
11 Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.
12 και δια το πληθυνθηναι την ανομιαν ψυγησεται η αγαπη των πολλων.
12 Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
13 ο δε υπομεινας εις τελος, ουτος σωθησεται.
13 But he who endures to the end will be saved.
14 και κηρυχθησεται τουτο το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας εν ολη τη οικουμενη εις μαρτυριον πασιν τοις εθνεσιν, και τοτε ηξει το τελος.
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 οταν ουν ιδητε το βδελυγμα της ερημωσεως το ρηθεν δια δανιηλ του προφητου εστως εν τοπω αγιω— ο αναγινωσκων νοειτω—
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),
16 τοτε οι εν τη ιουδαια φευγετωσαν επι τα ορη,
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 ο επι του δωματος μη καταβαινετω αραι τα εκ της οικιας αυτου,
17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.
18 και ο εν τω αγρω μη επιστρεψατω οπισω αραι τα ιματια αυτου.
18 Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.
19 ουαι δε ταις εν γαστρι εχουσαις και ταις θηλαζουσαις εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις.
19 But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
20 προσευχεσθε δε ινα μη γενηται η φυγη υμων χειμωνος μηδε σαββατω.
20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor on a Sabbath,
21 εσται γαρ τοτε θλιψις μεγαλη, οια ου γεγονεν απ αρχης κοσμου εως του νυν ουδ ου μη γενηται.
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 και ει μη εκολοβωθησαν αι ημεραι εκειναι, ουκ αν εσωθη πασα σαρξ· δια δε τους εκλεκτους κολοβωθησονται αι ημεραι εκειναι.
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 τοτε εαν τις υμιν ειπη, ιδου ωδε ο χριστος η ωδε, μη πιστευσητε·
23 “Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.
24 εγερθησονται γαρ ψευδοχριστοι και ψευδοπροφηται και δωσουσιν σημεια μεγαλα και τερατα, ωστε πλανησαι, ει δυνατον, και τους εκλεκτους.
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.
25 ιδου προειρηκα υμιν.
25 “Behold, I have told you beforehand.
26 εαν ουν ειπωσιν υμιν, ιδου εν τη ερημω εστιν, μη εξελθητε, ιδου εν τοις ταμειοις, μη πιστευσητε·
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 ωσπερ γαρ η αστραπη εξερχεται απο ανατολων και φαινεται εως δυσμων, ουτως εσται και η παρουσια του υιου του ανθρωπου·
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 οπου γαρ εαν η το πτωμα, εκει συναχθησονται οι αετοι.
28 For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.
29 ευθεως δε μετα την θλιψιν των ημερων εκεινων ο ηλιος σκοτισθησεται και η σεληνη ου δωσει το φεγγος αυτης, και οι αστερες πεσουνται απο του ουρανου, και αι δυναμεις των ουρανων σαλευθησονται.
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 και τοτε φανησεται το σημειον του υιου του ανθρωπου εν τω ουρανω, και τοτε κοψονται πασαι αι φυλαι της γης και οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον επι των νεφελων του ουρανου μετα δυναμεως και δοξης πολλης.
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 και αποστελει τους αγγελους αυτου μετα σαλπιγγος φωνης μεγαλης, και επισυναξουσιν τους εκλεκτους αυτου εκ των τεσσαρων ανεμων απ ακρων ουρανων εως ακρων αυτων.
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 απο δε της συκης μαθετε την παραβολην. οταν ηδη ο κλαδος αυτης γενηται απαλος και τα φυλλα εκφυη, γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς το θερος·
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 ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε ταυτα παντα, γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν επι θυραις.
33 Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.
34 αμην λεγω υμιν, ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εως αν παντα ταυτα γενηται.
34 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
35 ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσονται, οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
36 περι δε της ημερας εκεινης και ωρας ουδεις οιδεν, ουδε οι αγγελοι των ουρανων, ει μη ο πατηρ μου μονος.
36 “But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 ωσπερ δε αι ημεραι του νωε, ουτως εσται και η παρουσια του υιου του ανθρωπου.
37 As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
38 ωσπερ γαρ ησαν εν ταις ημεραις ταις προ του κατακλυσμου τρωγοντες και πινοντες, γαμουντες και εκγαμιζοντες, αχρι ης ημερας εισηλθεν νωε εις την κιβωτον,
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 και ουκ εγνωσαν εως ηλθεν ο κατακλυσμος και ηρεν απαντας, ουτως εσται και η παρουσια του υιου του ανθρωπου.
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 τοτε δυο εσονται εν τω αγρω, ο εις παραλαμβανεται και ο εις αφιεται·
40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.
41 δυο αληθουσαι εν τω μυλωνι, μια παραλαμβανεται και μια αφιεται.
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.
42 γρηγορειτε ουν, οτι ουκ οιδατε ποια ωρα ο κυριος υμων ερχεται.
42 Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.
43 εκεινο δε γινωσκετε οτι ει ηδει ο οικοδεσποτης ποια φυλακη ο κλεπτης ερχεται, εγρηγορησεν αν και ουκ αν ειασεν διορυγηναι την οικιαν αυτου.
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 δια τουτο και υμεις γινεσθε ετοιμοι, οτι η ωρα ου δοκειτε ο υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεται.
44 Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.
45 τις αρα εστιν ο πιστος δουλος και φρονιμος, ον κατεστησεν ο κυριος αυτου επι της θεραπειας αυτου του διδοναι αυτοις την τροφην εν καιρω;
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 μακαριος ο δουλος εκεινος ον ελθων ο κυριος αυτου ευρησει ποιουντα ουτως.
46 Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
47 αμην λεγω υμιν οτι επι πασιν τοις υπαρχουσιν αυτου καταστησει αυτον.
47 Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
48 εαν δε ειπη ο κακος δουλος εκεινος εν τη καρδια αυτου, χρονιζει ο κυριος μου ελθειν,
48 But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’
49 και αρξηται τυπτειν τους συνδουλους αυτου, εσθιη δε και πινη μετα των μεθυοντων,
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
50 ηξει ο κυριος του δουλου εκεινου εν ημερα η ου προσδοκα και εν ωρα η ου γινωσκει,
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 και διχοτομησει αυτον, και το μερος αυτου μετα των υποκριτων θησει· εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων.
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; …
