Mt 24 the whole chapter. Remove personal references

Mt 24 the whole chapter. Remove personal references except where Jesus talks about what he says. All the pronominal references to Jesus as the Son of Man and the coming one are interpretive and beyond the text. Jesus is referring to himself but only the third person. I also cut out much of the redundancy. This became too much to explain in detail.

 \v 37-39 It will be like what happened when Noah lived. Until the flood came, the people did not know that anything bad would happen to them. They were eating and drinking as usual. Men were getting married, and parents were giving their daughters to men to marry them. They were doing all this until the day that Noah and his family entered the big boat. And then the flood came and drowned all those who were not in the boat. Similarly, the unbelieving people will not know when the Son of Man will return.
