You can find below the details:


Matthew 24:31: "And He-will-send-out His angels with (a) loud trumpet. And they-will-gather-together [episünaxousin 1996 in Greek] His chosen (ones) from the four winds, from (the) ends (of the) heavens to their (other) ends."

John 15:6: "If anyone is not abiding in Me — he-is-thrown outside like the branch, and is-dried-up. And they-gather-together [sünagousin 4863 in Greek] them, and throw (them) into the fire. And they-are-burned."

The Greek word for "they-will-gather-together" [episunagó 1996 in Greek, verb] used in Matthew 24:31 comes from "upon" [epi 1909 in Greek, preposition] and "they-gather-together" [sunagó 4863 in Greek, verb] which is used in John 15:6.



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."

John 15:6: "If anyone is not abiding in Me — he-is-thrown outside like the branch, and is-dried-up. And they-gather-together them, and throw (them) into the FIRE. And they-are-burned."




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

John 15:10: "If you-keep My commandments, you-will-abide in My LOVE — just-as I have-kept the commandments (of) My Father and am-abiding in His love."

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 24:9: "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."

John 15:18: "“If the world HATES you, you-know that IT-HAS-HATED Me before you."




Matthew 24:7: "For nation will-arise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there-will-be famines and earthquakes in various-places."

The parallel account in Luke reads: 

Luke 21:11: "There-will-be both great earthquakes, and famines and plagues in various-places. There-will-be both fearful (things) and great signs from heaven."

Luke 21:12: "“But before all these (things), they-will-put their hands on you and PERSECUTE (you) — (they) handing-(you)-over to the synagogues and prisons, (you) being-led-away before kings and governors for-the-sake-of My name."

John 15:20: "Remember the word that I said (to) you, ‘(A) slave is not greater (than) his master’. If THEY-PERSECUTED Me, THEY-WILL-PERSECUTE also you. If they-kept My word, they-will also keep yours."




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."

John 15:21: "But they-will-do all these (things) to you BECAUSE-OF MY NAME, because they-do not know the (One) having-sent Me."




Matthew 24:7: "For nation will-arise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there-will-be famines and earthquakes in various-places."

The parallel account in Mark reads: 

Mark 13:8: "For nation will-arise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There-will-be earthquakes in various-places. There-will-be famines. These (things are a) beginning (of) birth-pains."

Mark 13:9: "But you — be-watching yourselves. They-will-hand you over to councils. And you-will-be-beaten in synagogues. And you-will-be-stood before governors and kings for My sake, for (a) testimony [martürion 3142 in Greek] (to) them."

Mark 13:10: "And the good-news must first be-proclaimed to all the nations."

Mark 13:11: "And whenever they-lead you (while) handing (you) over, do not be-anxious-beforehand (as to) what you-should-speak. But whatever is-given (to) you in that hour, speak this. For YOU are not the (ones) speaking, but THE Holy SPIRIT."

John 15:26: "When the Helper comes Whom I will-send (to) you from the Father — THE SPIRIT (of) truth, Which comes-out from the Father — that (One) will-testify [martürēsei 3140 in Greek] about Me."

John 15:27: "And YOU also are-(going-to-be)-testifying [martüreite 3140 in Greek], because you-are (the ones) with Me from (the) beginning."

The Greek word for "testimony" [marturion 3142 in Greek, noun] used in Mark 13:9 comes from a presumed derivative of the Greek word for "witness" [martus 3144 in Greek, noun].
The Greek word for "are-(going-to-be)-testifying" [martureó 3140 in Greek, verb] used in John 15:27 comes from the Greek word for "witness" [martus 3144 in Greek, noun].

In John, "the Helper" (John 15:26), "THE SPIRIT (of) truth" (John 15:27) is used interchangeably in John with the term "THE Holy SPIRIT" which is found in Mark 13:11, as one chapter earlier in John it reads about "the Helper — THE Holy SPIRIT" (John 14:26).
