¹ Μετα δε τα πραγματα ταυτα ο Θεος εδοκιμασε τον Αβρααμ, και ειπε προς αυτον, Αβρααμ· ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω.

² Και ειπε, Λαβε τωρα τον υιον σου τον μονογενη, τον οποιον ηγαπησας, τον Ισαακ, και υπαγε εις τον τοπον Μορια, και προσφερε αυτον εκει εις ολοκαυτωμα, επι ενος των ορεων, το οποιον θελω σοι ειπει.

³ Σηκωθεις δε Αβρααμ ενωρις το πρωι, εσαμαρωσε την ονον αυτου και ελαβε μεθ' εαυτου δυο εκ των δουλων αυτου και Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου· και σχισας ξυλα δια την ολοκαυτωσιν, εσηκωθη και υπηγεν εις τον τοπον τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος.

⁴ Την δε τριτην ημεραν υψωσας ο Αβρααμ τους οφθαλμους αυτου, ειδε τον τοπον μακροθεν.

⁵ Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ προς τους δουλους αυτου, Σεις καθισατε αυτου μετα της ονου· εγω δε και το παιδαριον θελομεν υπαγει εως εκει· και αφου προσκυνησωμεν, θελομεν επιστρεψει προς εσας.

⁶ Και λαβων ο Αβρααμ τα ξυλα της ολοκαυτωσεως, επεθεσεν επι τον Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου· και ελαβεν εις την χειρα αυτου το πυρ, και την μαχαιραν, και υπηγον οι δυο ομου.

⁷ Τοτε ελαλησεν ο Ισαακ προς Αβρααμ τον πατερα αυτου και ειπε, Πατερ μου. Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω, τεκνον μου. Και ειπεν ο Ισαακ, Ιδου, το πυρ και τα ξυλα· αλλα που το προβατον δια την ολοκαυτωσιν;

⁸ Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Ο Θεος, τεκνον μου, θελει προβλεψει εις εαυτον το προβατον δια την ολοκαυτωσιν. Και επορευοντο οι δυο ομου.

⁹ Αφου δε εφθασαν εις τον τοπον τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος, ωκοδομησεν εκει ο Αβρααμ το θυσιαστηριον και διεθεσε τα ξυλα, και δεσας τον Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου εβαλεν αυτον επι το θυσιαστηριον επανω των ξυλων·

¹⁰ και εκτεινας ο Αβρααμ την χειρα αυτου, ελαβε την μαχαιραν δια να σφαξη τον υιον αυτου.

¹¹ Αγγελος δε Κυριου εφωνησε προς αυτον εκ του ουρανου και ειπεν, Αβρααμ, Αβρααμ. Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω.

¹² Και ειπε, Μη επιβαλης την χειρα σου επι το παιδαριον, και μη πραξης εις αυτο μηδεν· διοτι τωρα εγνωρισα οτι συ φοβεισαι τον Θεον, επειδη δεν ελυπηθης τον υιον σου τον μονογενη δι' εμε.

¹³ Και υψωσας ο Αβρααμ τους οφθαλμους αυτου ειδε· και ιδου, κριος οπισθεν αυτου, κρατουμενος απο των κερατων αυτου εις φυτον πυκνοκλαδον· και ελθων ο Αβρααμ, ελαβε τον κριον και προσεφερεν αυτον εις ολοκαυτωμα αντι του υιου αυτου.

¹⁴ Και εκαλεσεν ο Αβρααμ το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου Ιεοβα-ιρε· ως λεγεται και την σημερον, Εν τω ορει ο Κυριος θελει εμφανισθη.

¹⁵ Και εφωνησε δευτερον ο αγγελος του Κυριου προς τον Αβρααμ εκ του ουρανου,

¹⁶ και ειπεν, Ωμοσα εις εμαυτον, λεγει Κυριος, οτι, επειδη επραξας το πραγμα τουτο και δεν ελυπηθης τον υιον σου, τον μονογενη σου,

¹⁷ οτι ευλογων θελω σε ευλογησει, και πληθυνων θελω πληθυνει το σπερμα σου ως τα αστρα του ουρανου και ως την αμμον την παρα το χειλος της θαλασσης· και το σπερμα σου θελει κυριευσει τας πυλας των εχθρων αυτου·

¹⁸ και εν τω σπερματι σου θελουσιν ευλογηθη παντα τα εθνη της γης· διοτι υπηκουσας εις την φωνην μου.

¹⁹ Και επεστρεψεν ο Αβρααμ προς τους δουλους αυτου· και σηκωθεντες, υπηγον ομου εις Βηρ-σαβεε· και κατωκησεν ο Αβρααμ Ενβηρ-σαβεε.

²⁰ Μετα δε τα πραγματα ταυτα, ανηγγειλαν προς τον Αβρααμ λεγοντες, Ιδου, η Μελχα εγεννησε και αυτη υιους εις τον Ναχωρ τον αδελφον σου·

²¹ τον Ουζ πρωτοτοκον αυτου, και τον Βουζ αδελφον αυτου, και τον Κεμουηλ τον πατερα του Αραμ,

²² και τον Κεσεδ, και τον Αζαυ, και τον Φαλδες, και τον Ιελδαφ, και τον Βαθουηλ.

²³ Ο δε Βαθουηλ εγεννησε την Ρεβεκκαν· τους οκτω τουτους εγεννησεν η Μελχα εις τον Ναχωρ τον αδελφον του Αβρααμ.

²⁴ Και η παλλακη αυτου, η ονομαζομενη Ρευμα, εγεννησε και αυτη τον Ταβεκ και τον Γααμ και τον Ταχας και τον Μααχα.

¹ Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.

² But he answered them, "You see all of these things, don't you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down."

³ As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?"

⁴ Jesus answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.

⁵ For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will lead many astray.

⁶ You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren't troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.

⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.

⁸ But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.

⁹ Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake.

¹⁰ Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.

¹¹ Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.

¹² Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.

¹³ But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.

¹⁴ This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

¹⁵ "When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),

¹⁶ then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

¹⁷ Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house.

¹⁸ Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.

¹⁹ But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!

²⁰ Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath,

²¹ for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.

²² Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.

²³ "Then if any man tells you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or, 'There,' don't believe it.

²⁴ For there will arise false christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

²⁵ "Behold, I have told you beforehand.

²⁶ If therefore they tell you, 'Behold, he is in the wilderness,' don't go out; 'Behold, he is in the inner rooms,' don't believe it.

²⁷ For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

²⁸ For wherever the carcass is, there is where the vultures gather together.

²⁹ But immediately after the oppression 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 the heavens will be shaken;

³⁰ and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. 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.

³¹ He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

³² "Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near.

³³ Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

³⁴ Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished.

³⁵ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

³⁶ But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

³⁷ "As the days of Noah were, so will be the 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 ship,

³⁹ and they didn't know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

⁴⁰ Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left;

⁴¹ two women grinding at the mill, one will be taken and one will be left.

⁴² Watch therefore, for you don't know in what hour your Lord comes.

⁴³ But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

⁴⁴ Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don't expect, the Son of Man will come.

⁴⁵ "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

⁴⁶ Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.

⁴⁷ Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.

⁴⁸ But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delaying his coming,'

⁴⁹ and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,

⁵⁰ the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn't expect it, and in an hour when he doesn't know it,

⁵¹ and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
