Luke 21:5-38

5And as some spake of the temple, how it was adornedG2885 with goodly stonesG3037 and offerings, he saidG3004, 6As for these thingsG3778 which ye behold, the daysG2250 will comeG2064, in which there shall not be leftG863 here oneG3739 stoneG3037 upon another, that shall not be thrown downG2647. 7And they askedG1905 him, sayingG3004, TeacherG1320, whenG3752 thereforeG3767 shall these thingsG3778 beG1510? and what shall beG1510 the signG4592 whenG3752 these thingsG3778 areG1510 about to comeG1096 to passG1096? 8And he saidG3004, TakeG991 heedG991 that ye beG1510 not led astrayG4105: for manyG4183 shall comeG2064 in my nameG3686, sayingG3004, I amG1510 he; and, The timeG2540 isG1510 at hand: goG4198 ye not after them. 9And whenG3752 ye shall hearG191 of warsG4171 and tumults, be not terrified: for these thingsG3778 must needs comeG1096 to passG1096 firstG4413; but the endG5056 is not immediatelyG2112.

10Then saidG3004 he unto them, NationG1484 shall riseG1453 against nationG1484, and kingdomG932 against kingdomG932; 11and there shall beG1510 greatG3173 earthquakesG4578, and in divers placesG5117 faminesG3042 and pestilences; and there shall beG1510 terrors and greatG3173 signsG4592 from heavenG3772. 12But before all these thingsG3778, they shall lay their handsG5495 on you, and shall persecuteG1377 you, deliveringG3860 you up to the synagoguesG4864 and prisonsG5438, bringing you before kingsG935 and governorsG2232 for my name’sG3686 sakeG1752. 13It shall turn out unto you for a testimonyG3142. 14Settle it thereforeG3767 in your heartsG2588, not to meditate beforehand how to answer: 15for I will giveG1325 you a mouthG4750 and wisdomG4678, which all your adversaries shall not be ableG1410 to withstand or to gainsay. 16But ye shall be deliveredG3860 up evenG2532 by parentsG1118, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friendsG5384; and some of you shall they cause to be putG2289 to deathG2289. 17And ye shall beG1510 hatedG3404 of all men for my name’sG3686 sakeG1223. 18And not a hairG2359 of your headG2776 shall perishG622. 19In your patience ye shall win your soulsG5590.

20But whenG3752 ye seeG3708 JerusalemG2419 compassed with armies, thenG5119 knowG1097 that her desolationG2050 is at hand. 21Then let them that are in Judæa fleeG5343 unto the mountainsG3735; and let them that are in the midstG3319 of her depart out; and let not them that are in the countryG5561 enterG1525 therein. 22For these areG1510 daysG2250 of vengeanceG1557, that all thingsG3778 which areG1510 writtenG1125 may beG1510 fulfilled. 23WoeG3759 unto them that areG1510 with child and to them that give suck in those daysG2250! for there shall beG1510 greatG3173 distressG318 upon the landG1093, and wrathG3709 unto this peopleG2992. 24And they shall fallG4098 by the edge of the swordG3162, and shall beG1510 led captiveG163 into all the nationsG1484: and JerusalemG2419 shall beG1510 troddenG3961 downG4098 of the GentilesG1484, until the timesG2540 of the GentilesG1484 beG1510 fulfilled.

25And there shall beG1510 signsG4592 in sunG2246 and moonG4582 and starsG798; and upon the earthG1093 distress of nationsG1484, in perplexity for the roaring of the seaG2281 and the billows; 26menG444 fainting for fearG5401, and for expectationG4329 of the things which are comingG1904 on the worldG3625: for the powersG1411 of the heavensG3772 shall be shakenG4531. 27And then shall they seeG3708 the SonG5207 of manG444 comingG2064 in a cloudG3507 with powerG1411 and greatG4183 gloryG1391. 28But when these thingsG3778 beginG757 to comeG1096 to passG1096, look up, and liftG1869 up your headsG2776; because your redemptionG629 draweth nigh.

29And he spake to them a parableG3850: Behold the figG4808 treeG1186, and all the treesG1186: 30whenG3752 they nowG2235 shoot forth, ye seeG991 it and knowG1097 of your ownG1438 selves that the summerG2330 isG1510 nowG2235 nigh. 31EvenG2532 so ye alsoG2532, whenG3752 ye seeG3708 these thingsG3778 comingG1096 to passG1096, knowG1097 ye that the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG1510 nigh. 32Verily I sayG3004 unto you, This generationG1074 shall not passG3928 awayG3928, till all thingsG3778 be accomplished. 33HeavenG3772 and earthG1093 shall passG3928 awayG3928: but my wordsG3056 shall not passG3928 awayG3928.

34But takeG4337 heed to yourselves, lest haply your heartsG2588 be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and caresG3308 of this lifeG982, and that dayG2250 comeG2186 on you suddenlyG160 as a snare: 35for soG5613 shall it comeG1904 upon all them that dwell on the faceG4383 of all the earthG1093. 36But watchG69 ye at every seasonG2540, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escapeG1628 all these thingsG3778 that shall comeG1096 to passG1096, and to standG2476 before the SonG5207 of manG444.

37And every dayG2250 he wasG1510 teachingG1321 in the temple; and every nightG3571 he wentG1831 out, and lodged in the mountG3735 that isG1510 calledG2564 Olivet. 38And all the peopleG2992 came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hearG191 him.
