Luke 21:5-24

51And while someG5100 were talkingG3004 aboutG4012 the templeG2413, that it was adornedG2885 with beautifulG2570 stonesG3037 and votiveG334 giftsG334, He saidG3004, 6“As for theseG3778 thingsG3778 whichG3739 you are lookingG2334 at, the daysG2250 will comeG2064 in whichG3739 2there will not be leftG863 one stoneG3037 upon anotherG3037 whichG3739 will not be tornG2647 downG2647.”

7They questionedG1905 Him, sayingG3004, “TeacherG1320, whenG4219 thereforeG3767 will theseG3778 thingsG3778 happenG1510? And whatG5101 will be the 3signG4592 whenG3752 theseG3778 thingsG3778 are aboutG3195 to takeG1096 placeG1096?” 8And He saidG3004, “SeeG991 to it that you are not misledG4105; for manyG4183 will comeG2064 in My nameG3686, sayingG3004, ‘4I amG1510 He,’ and, ‘The timeG2540 is nearG1448.’ 5Do not goG4198 afterG3694 them. 9WhenG3752 you hearG191 of warsG4171 and disturbancesG181, do not be terrifiedG4422; for theseG3778 thingsG3778 mustG1163 takeG1096 placeG1096 firstG4413, but the endG5056 does not follow immediatelyG2112.”

10ThenG5119 He continued by sayingG3004 to them, “NationG1484 will riseG1453 againstG1909 nationG1484 and kingdomG932 againstG1909 kingdomG932, 11and there will be greatG3173 earthquakesG4578, and in variousG2596 placesG5117 plaguesG3061 and faminesG3042; and there will be terrorsG5400 and greatG3173 6signsG4592 from heavenG3772.

12“But beforeG4253 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 7they will layG1911 their handsG5495 on you and will persecuteG1377 you, deliveringG3860 you to the synagoguesG4864 and prisonsG5438, 8bringingG520 you beforeG1909 kingsG935 and governorsG2232 for My name’sG3686 sakeG1752. 139It will leadG576 to 10an opportunity for your testimonyG3142. 1411SoG3767 makeG5087 up your mindsG2588 not to prepareG4304 beforehandG4304 to defendG626 yourselves; 15for 12I will giveG1325 you 13utteranceG4750 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 14not a hairG2359 of your headG2776 will perishG622. 1915By your enduranceG5281 you will gainG2932 your 16livesG5590.

20“But whenG3752 you seeG3708 JerusalemG2419 17surroundedG2944 by armiesG4760, thenG5119 18recognizeG1097 that her desolationG2050 is nearG1448. 21ThenG5119 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in JudeaG2453 must fleeG5343 to the mountainsG3735, and thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in the midstG3319 of 19the cityG846 must leaveG1633, and 20thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in the countryG5561 must not enterG1525 21the cityG846; 22becauseG3754 theseG3778 are 22daysG2250 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 23there will be greatG3173 distressG318 upon the 24landG1093 and wrathG3709 to thisG3778 peopleG2992; 24and they will fallG4098 by 25the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, and will be ledG163 captiveG163 into allG3956 the nationsG1484; and 26JerusalemG2419 will be 27trampledG3961 underG3961 foot by the GentilesG1484 untilG891 28the timesG2540 of the GentilesG1484 are fulfilledG4137.
