Luke 21:5-36

51And while someG5100 were talkingG3004 aboutG4012 the templeG2413, that it was decoratedG2885 with beautifulG2570 stonesG3037 and 2vowedG334 giftsG334, He saidG3004, 6“As for theseG3778 thingsG3778 whichG3739 you are observingG2334, the daysG2250 will comeG2064 whenG1722G3739 3there will not be leftG863 one stoneG3037 upon 4anotherG3037, whichG3739 will not be tornG2647 downG2647.”

7They askedG1905 Him questionsG1905, sayingG3004, “TeacherG1320, whenG4219 thereforeG3767 will theseG3778 thingsG3778 happenG1510? And whatG5101 will be the 5signG4592 whenG3752 theseG3778 thingsG3778 areG3195 aboutG3195 toG3195 takeG1096 placeG1096?” 8And He saidG3004, “SeeG991 to it that you are not misledG4105; for manyG4183 will comeG2064 in My nameG3686, sayingG3004, ‘6I amG1510 He,’ and, ‘The timeG2540 is nearG1448.’ 7Do not goG4198 afterG3694 them. 9And whenG3752 you hearG191 of warsG4171 and revoltsG181, do not be alarmedG4422; for theseG3778 thingsG3778 mustG1163 takeG1096 placeG1096 firstG4413, but the endG5056 will not follow immediatelyG2112.”

10ThenG5119 He continued by sayingG3004 to them, “NationG1484 will riseG1453 againstG1909 nationG1484, and kingdomG932 againstG1909 kingdomG932, 11and there will be 8massiveG3173 earthquakesG4578, and in variousG2596 placesG5117 plaguesG3061 and faminesG3042; and there will be terribleG5400 sightsG5400 and greatG3173 9signsG4592 from heavenG3772.

12“But beforeG4253 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 10they will layG1911 their handsG5495 on you and persecuteG1377 you, turningG3860 you overG3860 to the synagoguesG4864 and prisonsG5438, 11bringingG520 you beforeG1909 kingsG935 and governorsG2232 onG1752 accountG1752 ofG1752 My nameG3686. 1312It will leadG576 to 13an opportunity for your testimonyG3142. 1414SoG3767 15makeG5087 upG5087 your mindsG2588 not to prepareG4304 beforehandG4304 to defendG626 yourselves; 15for 16I will provideG1325 you 17eloquenceG4750 and wisdomG4678 whichG3739 noneG3756G537 of your adversariesG480 will be ableG1410 to opposeG436 orG2228 refuteG471. 16But you will be betrayedG3860 evenG2532 by parentsG1118, brothersG80 and sisters, other relativesG4773, and friendsG5384, and they will putG2289 some of you toG2289 deathG2289, 17and you will be hatedG3404 by allG3956 peopleG3956 becauseG1223 of My nameG3686. 18And yet 18not a hairG2359 of your headG2776 will perishG622. 1919By your enduranceG5281 you will gainG2932 your 20livesG5590.

20“But whenG3752 you seeG3708 JerusalemG2419 21surroundedG2944 by armiesG4760, thenG5119 22recognizeG1097 that her desolationG2050 is nearG1448. 21ThenG5119 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in JudeaG2449 must fleeG5343 to the mountainsG3735, and thoseG3588 whoG3588 are insideG3319 23the cityG846 must leaveG1633, and 24thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in the countryG5561 must not enterG1525 25the cityG846; 22becauseG3754 theseG3778 are 26daysG2250 of punishmentG1557, so that allG3956 thingsG3956 which have been writtenG1125 will be fulfilledG4092. 23WoeG3759 to thoseG3588 womenG3588 who are pregnantG2192G1722G1064, and to thoseG3588 who are nursingG2337 babiesG2337 in thoseG3588 daysG2250; for 27there will be greatG3173 distressG318 upon the 28landG1093, and wrathG3709 to thisG3778 peopleG2992; 24and they will fallG4098 by 29the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, and will be ledG163 captiveG163 into allG3956 the nationsG1484; and 30JerusalemG2419 will be 31trampledG3961 underfootG3961 by the GentilesG1484 untilG891 32the timesG2540 of the GentilesG1484 are fulfilledG4137.

25“There will be 33signsG4592 in the sunG2246 and moonG4582 and starsG798, and on the earthG1093 distressG4928 among nationsG1484, in perplexityG640 at the roaringG2279 of the seaG2281 and the wavesG4535, 26peopleG444 faintingG674 from fearG5401 and the expectationG4329 of the things that are comingG1904 uponG1904 the 34worldG3625; for the powersG1411 of 35the heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531. 27And 36thenG5119 they will seeG3708 37the SonG5207 of ManG444 comingG2064 in a cloudG3507 with powerG1411 and greatG4183 gloryG1391. 28But when theseG3778 thingsG3778 beginG757 to takeG1096 placeG1096, straightenG352 upG352 and liftG1869 upG1869 your headsG2776, becauseG1360 38your redemptionG629 is drawingG1448 nearG1448.”

29And He toldG3004 them a parableG3850: “LookG3708 at the figG4808 treeG4808 and allG3956 the treesG1186: 30asG3752G2235 soonG3752G2235 asG3752G2235 they putG4261 forthG4261 leaves, you seeG991 for yourselvesG1438 and 39knowG1097 that summerG2330 is nowG2235 nearG1451. 31SoG3779 you tooG2532, whenG3752 you seeG3708 theseG3778 thingsG3778 happeningG1096, 40recognizeG1097 that 41the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is nearG1451. 32TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, thisG3778 generationG1074 will not passG3928 awayG3928 untilG2193 allG3956 thingsG3956 takeG1096 placeG1096. 3342HeavenG3772 and earthG1093 will passG3928 awayG3928, but My wordsG3056 will not passG3928 awayG3928.

34“But 43be on your guardG4337, soG3379 thatG3379 your heartsG2588 will not be weighedG916 downG916 with dissipationG2897 and drunkennessG3178 and the worriesG3308 ofG982 lifeG982, and that 44this dayG2250 will not comeG2186 on you suddenlyG160, likeG5613 a trapG3803; 35for it will comeG1898 upon allG3956 thoseG3588 who liveG2521 on the faceG4383 of allG3956 the earthG1093. 36But 45stayG69 alertG69 at allG3956 timesG2540, prayingG1189 that you will haveG2729 strengthG2729 to escapeG1628 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 that areG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 takeG1096 placeG1096, and to 46standG2476 beforeG1715 the SonG5207 of ManG444.”
