Chapter 24 of Matthew—King James Version (KJV)

  1. ¶ And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
  2. ¶ And Jesus 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 upon 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 coming, and of the end of the world?
  4. ¶ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
  5. ¶ For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
  6. ¶ And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must 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 pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
  8. ¶ All these are the beginning of sorrows.
  9. ¶ Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
  10. ¶ And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
  11. ¶ And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
  12. ¶ And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
  13. ¶ But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
  14. ¶ And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
  15. ¶ When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
  16. ¶ Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
  17. ¶ Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
  18. ¶ Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
  19. ¶ And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
  20. ¶ But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
  21. ¶ For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
  22. ¶ And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
  23. ¶ Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
  24. ¶ For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
  25. ¶ Behold, I have told you before.
  26. ¶ Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
  27. ¶ For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
  28. ¶ For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
  29. ¶ Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun 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 in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
  31. ¶ And he shall send his angels with 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 learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
  33. ¶ So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
  34. ¶ Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
  35. ¶ Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
  36. ¶ But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
  37. ¶ But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
  38. ¶ For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
  39. ¶ And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
  40. ¶ Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
  41. ¶ Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
  42. ¶ Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
  43. ¶ But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
  44. ¶ Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
  45. ¶ Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
  46. ¶ Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
  47. ¶ Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
  48. ¶ But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
  49. ¶ And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
  50. ¶ The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
  51. ¶ And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and 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!
