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. 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 3massiveG3173 earthquakesG4578, and in variousG2596 placesG5117 plaguesG3061 and faminesG3042; and there will be terribleG5400 sightsG5400 and greatG3173 4signsG4592 from heavenG3772.

12“But beforeG4253 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 5they will layG1911 their handsG5495 on you and persecuteG1377 you, turningG3860 you overG3860 to the synagoguesG4864 and prisonsG5438, 6bringingG520 you beforeG1909 kingsG935 and governorsG2232 onG1752 accountG1752 ofG1752 My nameG3686. 137It will leadG576 to 8an opportunity for your testimonyG3142. 149SoG3767 10makeG5087 upG5087 your mindsG2588 not to prepareG4304 beforehandG4304 to defendG626 yourselves; 15for 11I will provideG1325 you 12eloquenceG4750 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 13not a hairG2359 of your headG2776 will perishG622. 1914By your enduranceG5281 you will gainG2932 your 15livesG5590.

20“But whenG3752 you seeG3708 JerusalemG2419 16surroundedG2944 by armiesG4760, thenG5119 17recognizeG1097 that her desolationG2050 is nearG1448. 21ThenG5119 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in JudeaG2449 must fleeG5343 to the mountainsG3735, and thoseG3588 whoG3588 are insideG3319 18the cityG846 must leaveG1633, and 19thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in the countryG5561 must not enterG1525 20the cityG846; 22becauseG3754 theseG3778 are 21daysG2250 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 22there will be greatG3173 distressG318 upon the 23landG1093, and wrathG3709 to thisG3778 peopleG2992; 24and they will fallG4098 by 24the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, and will be ledG163 captiveG163 into allG3956 the nationsG1484; and 25JerusalemG2419 will be 26trampledG3961 underfootG3961 by the GentilesG1484 untilG891 27the timesG2540 of the GentilesG1484 are fulfilledG4137.

25“There will be 28signsG4592 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 29worldG3625; for the powersG1411 of 30the heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531. 27And 31thenG5119 they will seeG3708 32the 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 33your 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 34knowG1097 that summerG2330 is nowG2235 nearG1451. 31SoG3779 you tooG2532, whenG3752 you seeG3708 theseG3778 thingsG3778 happeningG1096, 35recognizeG1097 that 36the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is nearG1451. 32TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, thisG3778 generationG1074 will not passG3928 awayG3928 untilG2193 allG3956 thingsG3956 takeG1096 placeG1096. 3337HeavenG3772 and earthG1093 will passG3928 awayG3928, but My wordsG3056 will not passG3928 awayG3928.

34“But 38be on your guardG4337, soG3379 thatG3379 your heartsG2588 will not be weighedG916 downG916 with dissipationG2897 and drunkennessG3178 and the worriesG3308 ofG982 lifeG982, and that 39this 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 40stayG69 alertG69 at allG3956 timesG2540, prayingG1189 that you will haveG2729 strengthG2729 to escapeG1628 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 that areG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 takeG1096 placeG1096, and to 41standG2476 beforeG1715 the SonG5207 of ManG444.”
