Luke 21:5-24

5AsG2532 someG5100 of the disciples were remarkingG3004G4012 howG3754 theG3588 templeG2411 was adornedG2885 with beautifulG2570 stonesG3037 andG2532 consecrated giftsG334, Jesus saidG2036, 6“As for whatG3778 you see hereG2334, the timeG2250 will comeG2064 when not oneG3756 stoneG3037 will be leftG863 onG1909 another; every one will be thrown downG2647.”

7“TeacherG1320,” they askedG1905G846G3004, “when willG4219G3767 these thingsG3778 happenG1510? AndG2532 whatG5101 will be theG3588 signG4592 that theyG3778 are aboutG3195 to take placeG1096?”

8

Jesus answeredG2036, “See to itG991 that you are not deceivedG3361G4105. ForG1063 manyG4183 will comeG2064 inG1909 MyG1473 nameG3686, claimingG3004, ‘IG1473 amG1510 He,’ andG2532, ‘TheG3588 timeG2540 is nearG1448.’ Do notG3361 followG4198G3694 themG846. 9WhenG3752 you hear ofG191 warsG4171 andG2532 rebellionsG181, do notG3361 be alarmedG4422. These thingsG3778 mustG1163 happenG1096 firstG4412, butG235 theG3588 endG5056 is notG3756 imminentG2112.”

10ThenG5119 He toldG2036 themG846, “NationG1484 will riseG1453 againstG1909 nationG1484, andG2532 kingdomG932 againstG1909 kingdomG932. 11There will beG1510 greatG3173 earthquakesG4578, faminesG3042, andG2532 pestilencesG3061 in variousG2596 placesG5117, along withG5037 fearful sightsG5400 andG2532 greatG3173 signsG4592 fromG575 heavenG3772.

12ButG1161 beforeG4253 allG3956 this, they will seizeG1911G846G3588G5495G1909 youG4771 andG2532 persecuteG1377 you. On account ofG1752 MyG1473 nameG3686 they will deliver youG3860 toG1519 theG3588 synagoguesG4864 andG2532 prisonsG5438, and they will bringG520 you beforeG1909 kingsG935 andG2532 governorsG2232. 13This will be your opportunityG576G4771 toG1519 serve as witnessesG3142. 14SoG3767 make upG5087 yourG4771 mindG2588 notG3361 to worry beforehandG4304 how to defend yourselvesG626. 15ForG1063 IG1473 will giveG1325 youG4771 speechG4750 andG2532 wisdomG4678 thatG3739 none ofG3756G537 your adversariesG3588G480G4771 will be able toG1410 resistG436 or contradictG483.

16

You will be betrayedG3860 evenG2532 byG5259 parentsG1118 andG2532 brothersG80 andG2532 relativesG4773 andG2532 friendsG5384, andG2532 some ofG1537 youG4771 will be put to deathG2289. 17AndG2532 you will beG1510 hatedG3404 byG5259 everyoneG3956 because ofG1223 MyG1473 nameG3686. 18YetG2532 not evenG3756G3361 a hairG2359 ofG1537 yourG4771 headG2776 will perishG622. 19ByG1722 yourG4771 patient enduranceG5281 you will gainG2932 yourG4771 soulsG5590.

20ButG1161 whenG3752 you seeG3708 JerusalemG2419 surroundedG2944 byG5259 armiesG4760, you will knowG1097 thatG3754 herG846 desolationG2050 is nearG1448. 21ThenG5119 let those who areG3588 inG1722 JudeaG2449 fleeG5343 toG1519 theG3588 mountainsG3735, letG2532 thoseG3588 inG1722 the city get outG1633, and letG2532 thoseG3588 inG1722 theG3588 countryG5561 stay out ofG3361G1525 the city. 22ForG3754 theseG3778 areG1510 the daysG2250 of vengeanceG1557, to fulfillG4130 allG3956 that is writtenG1125.

23How miserableG3759 thoseG1565 daysG2250 will be for pregnantG2192G1722G1064 andG2532 nursingG2337 mothers! ForG1063 there will beG1510 greatG3173 distressG318 uponG1909 theG3588 landG1093 andG2532 wrathG3709 againstG3588 thisG3778 peopleG2992. 24They will fallG4098 by the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162 andG2532 be led captiveG163 intoG1519 allG3956 theG3588 nationsG1484. AndG2532 JerusalemG2419 will beG1510 trodden downG3961 byG5259 the GentilesG1484, untilG891G3739 the timesG2540 of the GentilesG1484 are fulfilledG4137.
