21 for the desolation will be so dreadful, the like was never seen since the beginning of the world, no, nor ever shall be again.
21 For then there will be a (Y)great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.
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.
21 For at that time there will be great tribulation,(Q) the kind that hasn’t taken place from the beginning of the world until now and never will again!

23 Then if any shall cry, the Messiah is here, or he is there: give no credit to it.
23 (AA)Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the (l)Christ,’ or ‘(m)There He is,’ do not believe him.

23 "At that time, if anyone says to you, "Look! Here's the Messiah!' or "There he is!', don't believe it,
24 for there shall arise false Messiahs, and false prophets, and shall shew such astonishing miracles and prodigies, as to deceive, if that can do it, the very converts themselves.
24 For false Christs and (AB)false prophets will arise and will (n)show great (o)(AC)signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even (AD)the (p)elect.
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.
24 False messiahs(k) and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to lead astray,(U) if possible, even the elect.
24 because false messiahs and false prophets will appear and display great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
26 wherefore, if they shall say to you, now he is in the desert, do not stir: or now, he is in the secret chambers, believe them not.
26 So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them.
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.

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:
29 “Immediately after the tribulation(X) of those days:The sun will be darkened,and the moon will not shed its light;the stars will fall from the sky,and the celestial powers will be shaken.
29 "Immediately after the troubles 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 heaven will be shaken loose.'

30 And then (AL)the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see (AM)the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
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.
30 “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the peoples of the earth(m) will mourn;(n) and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.(Y)
30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all "the tribes of the land will mourn' when they see "the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven' with power and great glory.
31 and he shall send his messengers, who with the shrill sound of a trumpet, shall gather together his select from the four winds, from one end of the heaven to the other.

31 He'll send out his angels with a loud trumpet blast, and they'll gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to another."
32 this may be illustrated by a comparison taken from a fig-tree: when the branches become tender, and push out their leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
32 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near;
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:
32 “Now learn this parable(AB) from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.
32 "Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches become tender and it produces leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 in like manner, when ye shall see all these things happen, know that he is come to your very doors.
33 so, you too, when you see all these things, (u)recognize that (v)He is near, right (AR)at the (w)door.
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
33 In the same way, when you see all these things, you'll know that the Son of Man is near, right at the door.
34 I declare unto you, the present generation shall not cease, till all these things are pass'd.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
34 I assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place.(AD)
34 I tell all of you with certainty, this generation won't disappear until these things happen.
36 As to the day and hour, that no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but the father only.
36 “But (AU)of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
36 “Now concerning that day and hour no one knows—neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son(q) —except the Father only.(AG)
36 "No one knows when that day or hour will come not the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father,
37 as the days of Noe were, so shall also the advent of the son of man be.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
37 As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.
37 because just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.
38 for as at the time that usher'd in the deluge, they were eating and drinking, marrying themselves and their children, till the day that Noe entred into the ark,
38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, (AX)marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that (AY)Noah entered the ark,
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,
38 For in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah boarded the ark.(AH)
38 In those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark.
39 having no thoughts of the flood till it came, and swept them all away; so shall also the advent of the son of man be.
39 and they did not (z)understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the (AZ)coming of the Son of Man be.
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
39 They didn’t know(r) until the flood came and swept them all away. So this is the way the coming of the Son of Man will be:
39 They were unaware of what was happening until the flood came and swept all of them away. That's how it will be when the Son of Man comes.
40 of two persons, who shall be then in the field, one shall be taken, and the other left.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one left.
40 At that time, two people will be in the field. One will be taken, and one will be left behind.
41 two women shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 (BA)Two women will be grinding at the (ac)(BB)mill; one (ad)will be taken and one (ae)will be left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women will be grinding grain at the mill. One will be taken, and one will be left behind.
43 but this you conceive, that if a man knew at what hour of the night the thief would come, he would set a watch, and not suffer his house to be broke open.
43 But (af)be sure of this, that (BD)if the head of the house had known (BE)at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be (ag)broken into.
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.
43 But know this: If the homeowner had known what time(t) the thief was coming, he would have stayed alert and not let his house be broken into.(AK)
43 But be sure of this: if the owner of the house had known when during the night the thief would be coming, he would have stayed awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.
44 therefore be ye also prepar'd: for the son of man may come at an hour you least expect.
44 For this reason (BF)you also must be ready; for (BG)the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
44 This is why you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.(AL)
44 So you, too, must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you are not expecting."
45 If then there be a servant, appointed by his master to take care of his family, who faithfully and prudently distributes their allowance according to the establishment: happy is the servant,
45 “(BH)Who then is the (BI)faithful and (BJ)sensible slave whom his (ah)master (BK)put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time?
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?
45 “Who then is a faithful and sensible slave,(AM) whom his master has put in charge of his household, to give them food at the proper time?(AN)
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 right time?
48 but if he be dishonest, and says to himself, my Lord delays coming,
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
48 But if that wicked slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delayed,’
48 "But if that wicked servant says to himself, "My master has been delayed,'
49 and shall pretend to assault his fellow-servants, and spend his time with sots:
49 and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants and eat and drink with the drunks,
50 the master of that servant will come in a day when he least expects it, and at an hour he is not aware of;
50 the (al)master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know,
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,
50 that slave’s master will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not know.
50 that servant's master will come on a day when he doesn't expect him and at an hour that he doesn't know.
51 and shall turn him out of the family, and give him the reward due to such behaviour: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 and will (am)cut him in pieces and (an)assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be (BM)weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 He will cut him to pieces(u) and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 Then his master will punish him severely and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
