Luke 21:14-38
141SoG3767 makeG5087 up your mindsG2588 not to prepareG4304 beforehandG4304 to defendG626 yourselves; 15for 2I will giveG1325 you 3utteranceG4750 and wisdomG4678 whichG3739 noneG3756G537 of your opponentsG480 will be ableG1410 to resistG436 orG2228 refuteG471. 16But you will be betrayedG3860 evenG2532 by parentsG1118 and brothersG80 and relativesG4773 and friendsG5384, and they will putG2289 some of you to deathG2289, 17and you will be hatedG3404 by allG3956 becauseG1223 of My nameG3686. 18YetG2532 4not a hairG2359 of your headG2776 will perishG622. 195By your enduranceG5281 you will gainG2932 your 6livesG5590.
20“But whenG3752 you seeG3708 JerusalemG2419 7surroundedG2944 by armiesG4760, thenG5119 8recognizeG1097 that her desolationG2050 is nearG1448. 21ThenG5119 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in JudeaG2453 must fleeG5343 to the mountainsG3735, and thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in the midstG3319 of 9the cityG846 must leaveG1633, and 10thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in the countryG5561 must not enterG1525 11the cityG846; 22becauseG3754 theseG3778 are 12daysG2250 of vengeanceG1557, so that allG3956 thingsG3956 which are writtenG1125 will be fulfilledG4092. 23WoeG3759 to thoseG3588 who are pregnantG1064 and to thoseG3588 who are nursingG2337 babiesG2337 in thoseG3588 daysG2250; for 13there will be greatG3173 distressG318 upon the 14landG1093 and wrathG3709 to thisG3778 peopleG2992; 24and they will fallG4098 by 15the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, and will be ledG163 captiveG163 into allG3956 the nationsG1484; and 16JerusalemG2419 will be 17trampledG3961 underG3961 foot by the GentilesG1484 untilG891 18the timesG2540 of the GentilesG1484 are fulfilledG4137.
25“There will be 19signsG4592 in sunG2246 and moonG4582 and starsG798, and on the earthG1093 dismayG4928 among nationsG1484, in perplexityG640 at the roaringG2279 of the seaG2281 and the wavesG4535, 26menG444 faintingG674 from fearG5401 and the expectationG4329 of the things which are comingG1904 upon the 20worldG3625; for the powersG1411 of 21the heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531. 2722ThenG5119 they will seeG3708 23the SonG5207 of ManG444 comingG2064 in a cloudG3507 with powerG1411 and greatG4183 gloryG1391. 28But when theseG3778 thingsG3778 beginG757 to takeG1096 placeG1096, straightenG352 up and liftG1869 up your headsG2776, becauseG1360 24your redemptionG629 is drawingG1448 nearG1448.”
29ThenG2532 He toldG3004 them a parableG3850: “BeholdG3708 the figG4808 treeG4808 and allG3956 the treesG1186; 30as soonG3752G2235 as they putG4261 forthG4261 leaves, you seeG991 it and 25knowG1097 for yourselvesG1438 that summerG2330 is nowG2235 nearG1451. 31SoG3779 you alsoG2532, whenG3752 you seeG3708 theseG3778 thingsG3778 happeningG1096, 26recognizeG1097 that 27the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is nearG1451. 32TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, thisG3778 28generationG1074 will not passG3928 awayG3928 untilG2193 allG3956 thingsG3956 takeG1096 placeG1096. 3329HeavenG3772 and earthG1093 will passG3928 awayG3928, but My wordsG3056 will not passG3928 awayG3928.
34“30Be on guardG4337, soG3379 that your heartsG2588 will not be weightedG916 downG916 with dissipationG2897 and drunkennessG3178 and the worriesG3308 of lifeG982, and that dayG2250 will not comeG2186 on you suddenlyG160 likeG5613 a trapG3803; 35for it will comeG1898 upon allG3956 thoseG3588 who dwellG2521 on the faceG4383 of allG3956 the earthG1093. 36But 31keepG69 on the alertG69 at allG3956 timesG2540, prayingG1189 that you may haveG2729 strengthG2729 to escapeG1628 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 that are aboutG3195 to takeG1096 placeG1096, and to 32standG2476 beforeG1715 the SonG5207 of ManG444.”
37NowG1161 33during the dayG2250 He was 34teachingG1321 in the templeG2413, but 3536at eveningG3571 He would goG1831 out and spendG835 the nightG835 on 3738the mountG3735 that is calledG2564 39OlivetG1638. 38And allG3956 the peopleG2992 would getG3719 up 40earlyG3719 in the morningG3719 to come to Him in the templeG2413 to listenG191 to Him.
