This page attempts to highlight one of the core future proclamations of Jesus regarding his future return, using 3 verses from Matthew 24, with the following events described: great hardship of believers followed by cosmic signs and then his glorious appearing to all on the Earth, in the UBS5 original Greek, a literal interlinear translation of the Greek text, the English translation by Bill Mounce, and finally some matching images from the Codex Sinaiticus -- a manuscript of the Christian Bible written in the middle of the fourth century, which contains the earliest complete copy of the Christian New Testament!

Matthew 24:29-31 (UBS5/Interlinear/Mounce)

Εὐθέως δὲ μετὰ τὴν θλῖψιν τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων ὁ ἥλιος σκοτισθήσεται,
καὶ ἡ σελήνη οὐ δώσει τὸ φέγγος αὐτῆς,
καὶ οἱ ἀστέρες πεσοῦνται ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ,
καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται.

Immediately then after the tribulation the days of those the sun will be darkened
and the moon not will give the light of it

and the stars will fall from the sky
and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.


Immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened
and the moon will not give its light,
and the stars will fall from the sky
and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.


καὶ τότε φανήσεται τὸ σημεῖον τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ,
καὶ τότε κόψονται πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς
καὶ ὄψονται τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ
μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς ·

And then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven
and then will mourn all the tribes of the earth
and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven
with power and glory great.

And then 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 the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky
with power and great glory.


καὶ ἀποστελεῖ τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ μετὰ σάλπιγγος μεγάλης,
καὶ ἐπισυνάξουσιν τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἀνέμων
ἀπ’ ἄκρων οὐρανῶν ἕως τῶν ἄκρων αὐτῶν.

And He will send the angels of Him with a trumpet call great
and they will gather together the elect of Him from the four winds
from [the] ends of the heavens to the ends of them.

And he will send his angles with a loud trumpet call,
and they will gather his elect from the four winds,
from one end of the heavens to the other.
