The Seventy Weeks

^24 (A)“Seventy weeks^[a] are decreed about your people and ^(B)your holy city, to finish ^(C)the transgression, to put an end to sin, ^(D)and to atone for iniquity, ^(E)to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and ^(F)to anoint a most holy place.^[b]

^25 (A)Know therefore and understand that ^(B)from the going out of the word to restore and ^(C)build Jerusalem to the coming of an ^(D)anointed one, a ^(E)prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again^[a] with squares and moat, ^(F)but in a troubled time.

²⁶ And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall ^(A)be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come ^(B)shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. ^(C)Its^[a] end shall come with a flood, ^(D)and to the end there shall be war. ^(E)Desolations are decreed.

²⁷ And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week,^[a] and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. ^(A)And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until ^(B)the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”
