The King James Version Bible

Matthew 24:20-30

  1. But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

  2. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

  3. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

  4. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

  5. 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.

  6. Behold, I have told you before.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

  10. 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:

  11. 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.
