Daniel 9:22-25
New American Standard Bible
22 And he instructed me and talked with me and said, “Daniel, I have come now to give you insight with (A)understanding. 23 At the (B)beginning of your pleas the [a]command was issued, and I have come to tell you, because you are [b](C)highly esteemed; so pay attention to the message and gain (D)understanding of the vision.
Seventy Weeks and the Messiah
24 “Seventy [c](E)weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to [d]finish the wrongdoing, to [e]make an end of sin, to (F)make atonement for guilt, to bring in (G)everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and [f]prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place. 25 So you are to know and understand that from the issuing of a [g](H)decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until [h](I)Messiah the (J)Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with [i]streets and moat, even in times of distress.
