Luke 21:8-36

8And He saidG3004, “SeeG991 to it that you are not misledG4105; for manyG4183 will comeG2064 in My nameG3686, sayingG3004, ‘1I amG1510 He,’ and, ‘The timeG2540 is nearG1448.’ 2Do 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 3signsG4592 from heavenG3772.

12“But beforeG4253 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 4they will layG1911 their handsG5495 on you and will persecuteG1377 you, deliveringG3860 you to the synagoguesG4864 and prisonsG5438, 5bringingG520 you beforeG1909 kingsG935 and governorsG2232 for My name’sG3686 sakeG1752. 136It will leadG576 to 7an opportunity for your testimonyG3142. 148SoG3767 makeG5087 up your mindsG2588 not to prepareG4304 beforehandG4304 to defendG626 yourselves; 15for 9I will giveG1325 you 10utteranceG4750 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 11not a hairG2359 of your headG2776 will perishG622. 1912By your enduranceG5281 you will gainG2932 your 13livesG5590.

20“But whenG3752 you seeG3708 JerusalemG2419 14surroundedG2944 by armiesG4760, thenG5119 15recognizeG1097 that her desolationG2050 is nearG1448. 21ThenG5119 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in JudeaG2453 must fleeG5343 to the mountainsG3735, and thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in the midstG3319 of 16the cityG846 must leaveG1633, and 17thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in the countryG5561 must not enterG1525 18the cityG846; 22becauseG3754 theseG3778 are 19daysG2250 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 20there will be greatG3173 distressG318 upon the 21landG1093 and wrathG3709 to thisG3778 peopleG2992; 24and they will fallG4098 by 22the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, and will be ledG163 captiveG163 into allG3956 the nationsG1484; and 23JerusalemG2419 will be 24trampledG3961 underG3961 foot by the GentilesG1484 untilG891 25the timesG2540 of the GentilesG1484 are fulfilledG4137.

25“There will be 26signsG4592 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 27worldG3625; for the powersG1411 of 28the heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531. 2729ThenG5119 they will seeG3708 30the 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 31your 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 32knowG1097 for yourselvesG1438 that summerG2330 is nowG2235 nearG1451. 31SoG3779 you alsoG2532, whenG3752 you seeG3708 theseG3778 thingsG3778 happeningG1096, 33recognizeG1097 that 34the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is nearG1451. 32TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, thisG3778 35generationG1074 will not passG3928 awayG3928 untilG2193 allG3956 thingsG3956 takeG1096 placeG1096. 3336HeavenG3772 and earthG1093 will passG3928 awayG3928, but My wordsG3056 will not passG3928 awayG3928.

34“37Be 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 38keepG69 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 39standG2476 beforeG1715 the SonG5207 of ManG444.”
