Daniel 9:21–27

²¹yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man ^dGabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, ³being caused to fly swiftly, reached me about the time of the evening offering. ²²And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand. ²³At the beginning of your supplications the ⁴command went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly ^ebeloved; therefore ^fconsider the matter, and understand the vision:

²⁴“Seventy ⁵weeks are determined

For your people and for your holy city,

To finish the transgression,

⁶To make an end of sins,

^gTo make reconciliation for iniquity,

^hTo bring in everlasting righteousness,

To seal up vision and prophecy,

ⁱAnd to anoint ⁷the Most Holy.

²⁵“Know therefore and understand,

That from the going forth of the command

To restore and build Jerusalem

Until ^jMessiah ^kthe Prince,

There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;

The ⁸street shall be built again, and the ⁹wall,

Even in troublesome times.

²⁶“And after the sixty-two weeks

^lMessiah shall ¹be cut off, ^mbut not for Himself;

And ⁿthe people of the prince who is to come

^oShall destroy the city and the sanctuary.

The end of it shall be with a flood,

And till the end of the war desolations are determined.

²⁷Then he shall confirm ^pa ²covenant with ^qmany for one week;

But in the middle of the week

He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.

And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,

^rEven until the consummation, which is determined,

Is poured out on the ³desolate.”
