Luke 21:8-36

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.

25

There will beG1510 signsG4592 inG1722 the sunG2246 andG2532 moonG4582 andG2532 starsG798, andG2532 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093 dismayG4928 among the nationsG1484, bewilderedG640 byG1722 the roaringG2279 of the seaG2281 andG2532 the surging of the wavesG4535. 26MenG444 will faintG674 fromG575 fearG5401 andG2532 anxietyG4329 over whatG3588 is comingG1904 upon theG3588 earthG3625, forG1063 theG3588 powersG1411 of theG3588 heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531. 27At that timeG2532G5119 they will seeG3708 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 comingG2064 inG1722 a cloudG3507 withG3326 powerG1411 andG2532 greatG4183 gloryG1391.1 28WhenG1161 these thingsG3778 beginG756 to happenG1096, stand upG352 andG2532 lift upG1869 yourG4771 headsG2776, becauseG1360 yourG4771 redemptionG629 is drawing nearG1448.”

29ThenG2532 Jesus toldG2036 themG846 a parableG3850: “Look atG3708 theG3588 fig treeG4808 andG2532 allG3956 theG3588 treesG1186. 30WhenG3752 they sprout leavesG4261G2235, you can seeG991 forG575 yourselvesG1438 and knowG1097 thatG3754 summerG2330 isG1510G2235 nearG1451. 31SoG3779 alsoG2532, whenG3752 you seeG3708 these thingsG3778 happeningG1096, knowG1097 thatG3754 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG1510 nearG1451. 32TrulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, thisG3778 generationG1074 will not pass awayG3756G3361G3928 untilG2193G302 allG3956 these things have happenedG1096. 33HeavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 will pass awayG3928, butG1161 MyG1473 wordsG3056 will never pass awayG3756G3361G3928.

34ButG1161 watchG4337 yourselvesG1438, orG3361G3588 yourG4771 heartsG2588 will be weighed downG4219G916 byG1722 dissipationG2897, drunkennessG3178, andG2532 the worriesG3308 of lifeG982—andG2532 thatG1565 dayG2250 will springG2186 uponG1909 youG4771 suddenlyG160 likeG5613 a snareG3803. 35ForG1063 it will comeG1904 uponG1909 allG3956 whoG3588 dwellG2521 onG1909 the faceG4383 of allG3956 theG3588 earthG1093. 36So keep watchG69 atG1722 allG3956 timesG2540, and prayG1189 thatG2443 you may have the strengthG2729 to escapeG1628 allG3956 thatG3588 is aboutG3195 to happenG1096 andG2532 to standG2476 beforeG1715 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444.”
