You can find below the details:

Matthew 24:3: "And (while) He (was) sitting on the Mount (of) Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us — when will these (things) be? And what (will be) the sign (of) Your coming and (the) conclusion (of) the AGE?”"

Hebrews 6:5: "and having-tasted (the) good word (of) God and (the) powers (of the) AGE about-to(-come),"



Matthew 24:19: "And woe (to) the (ones) having (a child) in (the) womb, and (to) the (ones) nursing in those days."

The parallel account in Luke reads: 

Luke 21:23: "Woe (to) the (ones) having (a child) in (the) womb, and (to) the (ones) nursing in those days. For there-will-be (a) great distress upon the land, and wrath (against) this people."

Hebrews 6:8: "But (land) bringing-forth thorns and thistles (is) disapproved and near (a) curse, whose end (is) for burning."



Matthew 24:38: "For as in those days before the flood they-were eating and drinking, marrying and giving-in-marriage, until which day Noah entered into the ark,"

Matthew 24:39: "and did not know until the flood came and took-away everyone, so also will-be the coming (of) the Son (of) Man."

A similar account in Luke reads: 

Luke 17:26: "“And as it-happened in the days (of) Noah, so it-will-be also in the days (of) the Son (of) Man —"

Luke 17:27: "they-were-eating, drinking, marrying, being-given-in-marriage, until which day Noah entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed everyone."

Luke 17:29: "But (on) that day Lot departed from Sodom, it-rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed everyone."

Hebrews 6:8: "But (land) bringing-forth thorns and thistles (is) disapproved and near (a) curse, whose end (is) for burning."



Matthew 24:13: "But the (one) having-endured to (the) END — this (one) will-be-saved (sōthēsetai 4982 in Greek)."

Hebrews 6:8: "But (land) bringing-forth thorns and thistles (is) disapproved and near (a) curse, whose END (is) for burning."

Hebrews 6:9: "But concerning you, beloved, we-are-convinced-of better (things), and (things) having salvation (sōtērias 4991 in Greek) — even though we-are-speaking in-this-manner."

(The Greek word for "salvation" (sótéria 4991 in Greek, noun) used in Hebrews 6:9 is a feminine of a derivative of the Greek word for "savior" (sótér 4990 in Greek, noun) which comes from the Greek word for "will-be-saved" (sózó 4982 in Greek, verb) used in Matthew 24:13).



Matthew 24:12: "And the LOVE (of) the majority will-grow-cold because-of lawlessness being-multiplied."

Hebrews 6:10: "For God (is) not unjust (so as) to-forget your work and the LOVE which you-demonstrated for His name, having-served the saints and [still] serving."

(The Greek word for "LOVE" (agapé 26 in Greek, noun) only appears 1 time in Matthew, and that 1 time is found in Matthew 24:12).



Matthew 24:13: "BUT the (one) having-endured to (the) END — this (one) will-be-saved."

Hebrews 6:11: "BUT we-desire (that) each (of) you be-demonstrating the same diligence toward the full-assurance (of) hope until (the) END,"



Matthew 24:13: "But the (one) having-endured to (the) end — this (one) will-be-saved."

The parallel account in Luke reads: 

Luke 21:19: "Gain your SOULS by your endurance."

Luke 21:20: "“But when you-see Jerusalem being-surrounded by army-encampments, then recognize that her desolation has-drawn-near."

Luke 21:21: "Then let the (ones) in Judea be-fleeing (pheugetōsan 5343 in Greek) to the mountains. And let the (ones) in (the) midst (of) her be-going-out. And let the (ones) in the fields not be-entering into her."

Hebrews 6:18: "in-order-that by two unchangeable things in which (it is) impossible (for) God to-lie, we — the (ones) having-fled (kataphügontes 2703 in Greek) to-take-hold-of the hope being-set-before (us) — may-have strong encouragement,"

Hebrews 6:19: "which (hope) we-have as (an) anchor (of) the SOUL, both secure and firm and entering into the inner (side of) the curtain,"

(The Greek word for "having-fled" (katapheugó 2703 in Greek, verb) used in Hebrews 6:18 comes from the Greek word for "in-accordance-with" (kata 2596 in Greek, preposition) and "be-fleeing" (pheugó 5343 in Greek, verb) used in Luke 21:21).
