LU-21:1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their
gifts into the
treasury.
LU-21:2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither
two mites.
LU-21:3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor
widow hath cast
in more than they all:
LU-21:4 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.
LU-21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned
with goodly stones
and gifts, he said,
LU-21:6 [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.
LU-21:7 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?
LU-21:8 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.
LU-21:9 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.
LU-21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom
against kingdom:
LU-21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and
famines, and
pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be
from heaven.
LU-21:12 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.
LU-21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
LU-21:14 Settle [it] therefore in your hearts, not to meditate
before what ye
shall answer:
LU-21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your
adversaries
shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
LU-21:16 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.
LU-21:17 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake.
LU-21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
LU-21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
LU-21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies,
then know that
the desolation thereof is nigh.
LU-21:21 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.
LU-21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things
which are written
may be fulfilled.
LU-21:23 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.
LU-21:24 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.
LU-21:25 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;
LU-21:26 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.
LU-21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a
cloud with power
and great glory.
LU-21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look
up, and lift
up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
LU-21:29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree,
and all the
trees;
LU-21:30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own
selves that
summer is now nigh at hand.
LU-21:31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass,
know ye that
the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
LU-21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass
away, till all
be fulfilled.
LU-21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall
not pass away.
LU-21:34 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.
LU-21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on
the face of
the whole earth.
LU-21:36 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.
LU-21:37 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.
LU-21:38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in
the temple,
for to hear him.
