Chapter 24 of Matthew—American Standard Version (ASV)

  1. ¶ And Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way; and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
  2. But he answered and said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
  3. ¶ And as he sat on the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy [a]coming, and of [b]the end of the world?
  4. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.
  5. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray.
  6. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet.
  7. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and earthquakes in divers places.
  8. But all these things are the beginning of travail.
  9. Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name’s sake.
  10. And then shall many stumble, and shall 1deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.
  11. And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray.
  12. And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold.
  13. But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.
  14. And [c]this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole [d]world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come.
  15. ¶ When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was 2spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in [e]the holy place (let him that readeth understand),
  16. then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains:
  17. let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house:
  18. and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
  19. But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!
  20. And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath:
  21. for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be.
  22. And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
  23. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe [f]it not.
  24. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
  25. Behold, I have told you beforehand.
  26. If therefore they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the wilderness; go not forth: Behold, he is in the inner chambers; believe [g]it not.
  27. For as the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the [h]coming of the Son of man.
  28. Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the [i]eagles be gathered together.
  29. ¶ But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
  30. and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
  31. And he shall send forth his angels [j]with [k]a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
  32. ¶ Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh;
  33. even so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that [l]he is nigh, even at the doors.
  34. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished.
  35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
  36. But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, [m]neither the Son, but the Father only.
  37. And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the [n]coming of the Son of man.
  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 ark,
  39. and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the [o]coming of the Son of man.
  40. Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left:
  41. two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left.
  42. Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh.
  43. [p]But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be [q]broken through.
  44. Therefore be ye also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
  45. ¶ Who then is the faithful and wise [r]servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
  46. Blessed is that [s]servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
  47. Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
  48. But if that evil [t]servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth;
  49. and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken;
  50. the lord of that [u]servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not,
  51. and shall [v]cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
