You can find below the details:


Matthew 24:17: "Let the (one) upon the housetop not go-down to-take the (things) out-of his house."

Matthew 24:18: "And let the (one) in the field not turn behind to-take his cloak."

A similar account in Luke reads: 

Luke 17:30: "It-will-be the same (way) on that day the Son (of) Man is-revealed (apokalüptetai 601 in Greek)."

Luke 17:31: "On that day, let (he) who will-be on the housetop and his goods in the house not go-down to-take them. And let the (one) in (a) field likewise not turn-back to the (things) behind."

Revelation 1:1: "(The) revelation (Apokalüpsis 602 in Greek) (of) Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to-show His slaves (the things) which must take-place in quickness, and He-signified, having-sent-forth through His messenger (to) His slave John,"

(The Greek word for "revelation" (apokalupsis 602 in Greek, noun) used in Revelation 1:1 comes from the Greek word for "is-revealed" (apokaluptó 601 in Greek, verb) used in Luke 17:30).




Matthew 24:5: "For many will-come on-the-basis-of My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ’. And they-will-deceive many."

The parallel account in Luke reads: 

Luke 21:8: "And the (One) said, “Be-watching-out (that) you-may not be-deceived. For many will-come on (the basis of) My name, saying ‘I am (the One)’, and ‘THE TIME has-drawn-near (ēngiken 1448 in Greek)’. Do not go after them."

Revelation 1:3: "Blessed (is) the (one) reading, and the (ones) hearing the words (of this) prophecy and keeping the (things) having-been-written in it, for THE TIME (is) near (engüs 1451 in Greek)."

(The Greek word for "has-drawn-near" (eggizó 1448 in Greek, verb) used in Luke 21:8 comes from the Greek word for "near" (eggus 1451 in Greek, adverb) which is used in Revelation 1:3).



Matthew 24:30: "And then the sign (of) the Son (of) Man will-appear in (the) heaven. And at-that-time ALL the TRIBES (of) the EARTH WILL-BEAT-THEIR-BREASTS. And THEY-WILL-SEE the Son (of) man COMING on THE CLOUDS (of) heaven with power and great glory."

Revelation 1:7: "Behold, HE-IS-COMING with THE CLOUDS, and every eye WILL-SEE Him — even they who pierced Him. And ALL the TRIBES (of) the EARTH WILL-BEAT-THEIR-BREASTS over Him. Yes! Amen!"



Matthew 24:9: "Then they-will-hand you over to AFFLICTION, and they-will-kill you. And you-will-be being-hated by all the nations because-of My name."

Revelation 1:9: "I, John, your brother and co-partner in the AFFLICTION and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, came-to-be on the island being-called Patmos because-of the word (of) God and the testimony (of) Jesus."



Matthew 24:13: "But the (one) having-endured (hüpomeinas 5278 in Greek) to (the) end — this (one) will-be-saved."

Revelation 1:9: "I, John, your brother and co-partner in the affliction and kingdom and endurance (hüpomonē 5281 in Greek) in Jesus, came-to-be on the island being-called Patmos because-of the word (of) God and the testimony (of) Jesus."

(The Greek word for "endurance" (hupomoné 5281 in Greek, noun) used in Revelation 1:9 comes from the Greek word for "having-endured" (hupomenó 5278 in Greek, verb) which is used in Matthew 24:13).
