Luke 21
1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting
their gifts into the treasury.
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in
thither two mites.
3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this
poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto
the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast
in all the living that she had.
5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was
adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will
come, in the which there shall not be left one stone
upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall
these things be? and what sign will there be when
these things shall come to pass?
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived:
for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;
and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after
them.
9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be
not terrified: for these things must first come to
pass; but the end is not by and by.
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places,
and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and
great signs shall there be from heaven.
12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands
on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the
synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before
kings and rulers for my name's sake.
13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to
meditate before what ye shall answer:
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all
your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor
resist.
16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and
brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you
shall they cause to be put to death.
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's
sake.
18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with
armies, then know that the desolation thereof is
nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the
mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it
depart out; and let not them that are in the
countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all
things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them
that give suck, in those days! for there shall be
great distress in the land, and wrath upon this
people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and
shall be led away captive into all nations: and
Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles,
until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the
moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress
of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves
roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for
looking after those things which are coming on the
earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a
cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then
look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption
draweth nigh.
29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig
tree, and all the trees;
30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your
own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to
pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at
hand.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not
pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words
shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your
hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and
drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day
come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that
dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may
be accounted worthy to escape all these things that
shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of
man.
37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple;
and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that
is called the mount of Olives.
38 And all the people came early in the morning to
him in the temple, for to hear him.
