You can find below the details:


Matthew 24:1: "And having-departed from THE TEMPLE, Jesus was-proceeding. And His disciples came-to (Him) to-show Him the buildings (of) THE TEMPLE."

Matthew 24:2: "But the (One), having-responded, said (to) them, “Do-you-see all these (things)? Truly I-say (to) you — (a) stone upon (a) stone by-no-means will-be-left here which will not be-torn-down”."

Matthew 12:6: "But I-say (to) you that (a) greater (thing than) THE TEMPLE is here."



Matthew 24:15: "“Therefore when you-see the abomination (of) desolation — the (thing) having-been-spoken through Daniel the prophet — having-stood in (the) holy place (let the (one) reading understand),"

Matthew 24:16: "then let the (ones) in Judea be-fleeing to the mountains."

The parallel account in Luke reads: 

Luke 21:20: "“But when you-see Jerusalem being-surrounded by army-encampments, then recognize that her desolation [erēmōsis 2050 in Greek] has-drawn-near."

Luke 21:21: "Then let the (ones) in Judea be-fleeing 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."

Matthew 12:25: "And knowing their thoughts, He-said (to) them — “Every kingdom having-been-divided against itself is-desolated [erēmoutai 2049 in Greek], and every city or house having-been-divided against itself will not stand;"

The Greek word for "desolation" [erémósis 2050 in Greek, noun] used in Luke 21:20 comes from the Greek word for "to-desolate" [erémoó 2049 in Greek, verb] used in Matthew 12:25.




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?”"

Matthew 12:32: "And whoever speaks (a) word against the Son (of) Man, it-will-be-forgiven (to) him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it-will not be-forgiven (to) him — neither in this AGE nor in the (one) about-to(-come)."




Matthew 24:34: "Truly I-say (to) you that this GENERATION by-no-means will-pass-away until all these (things) take-place."

Matthew 12:38: "Then some (of) the scribes and Pharisees responded (to) Him, saying “Teacher, we-want to-see (a) sign from You”."

Matthew 12:39: "But the (One), having-responded, said (to) them — “(An) evil and adulterous GENERATION is-seeking-for (a) sign. And (a) sign will not be-given (to) it, except the sign (of) Jonah the prophet."




Matthew 24:34: "Truly I-say (to) you that THIS GENERATION by-no-means will-pass-away until all these (things) take-place."

The parallel account in Luke reads: 

Luke 21:32: "Truly I-say (to) you that THIS GENERATION by-no-means will-pass-away until all (things) take-place."

Matthew 12:41: "“Ninevite men will-stand-up [anastēsontai 450 in Greek] at the judgment with THIS GENERATION, and they-will-condemn it. Because they-repented at the proclamation (of) Jonah, and behold — a greater (thing than) Jonah (is) here."

The Greek word for "will-stand-up" [anistémi 450 in Greek, verb] used in Matthew 12:41 comes from the Greek word for "up" [ana 303 in Greek] and the Greek word for "to-stand" [histémi 2476 in Greek, verb] used in Luke 21:36.




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

Matthew 24:34: "Truly I-say (to) you that THIS GENERATION by-no-means will-pass-away until all these (things) take-place."

Mark 13:27: "And at-that-time He-will-send-out the angels, and He-will-gather-together His chosen (ones) from the four winds, from (the) end (of the) EARTH to (the) end (of the) heaven."

Mark 13:30: "Truly I-say (to) you that THIS GENERATION by-no-means will-pass-away until which (time) these (things) all take-place."

Matthew 12:42: "(The) Queen (of the) South will-be-awakened at the judgment with THIS GENERATION, and she-will-condemn it. Because she-came from the ends (of) the EARTH to-hear the wisdom (of) Solomon, and behold — (a) greater (thing than) Solomon (is) here."




Matthew 24:34: "Truly I-say (to) you that THIS GENERATION by-no-means will-pass-away until all these (things) take-place."

Matthew 12:45: "Then it-proceeds and takes-along with itself seven other spirits more-evil (than) itself. And having-gone-in, they-dwell there, and the last (state of) that person becomes worse (than) the first. So it-will-be also (with) THIS evil GENERATION”."
