LUKE ยท Chapter 21
21:1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into
the treasury.
21:2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
21:3 And he said, Truthfully I say unto you, that this poor widow has
cast in more than they all:
21:4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings
of God: but she of her destitution has cast in all the living that she
had.
21:5 And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly
stones and gifts, he said,
21:6 As for these things which all of you behold, the days will come,
in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall
not be thrown down.
21:7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things
be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
21:8 And he said, Take heed that all of you be not deceived: for many
shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draws near: go
all of you not therefore after them.
21:9 But when all of you shall hear of wars and commotions, be not
terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not
by and by.
21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom:
21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines,
and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from
heaven.
21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and
persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being
brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what
all of you shall answer:
21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries
shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
21:16 And all of you shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren,
and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put
to death.
21:17 And all of you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
21:19 In your patience possess all of you your souls.
21:20 And when all of you shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies,
then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21:21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and
let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that
are in the countries enter therein.
21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are
written may be fulfilled.
21:23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and
wrath upon this people.
21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led
away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the
Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in
the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the
sea and the waves roaring;
21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those
things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be
shaken.
21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with
power and great glory.
21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and
lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh.
21:29 And he spoke to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all
the trees;
21:30 When they now shoot forth, all of you see and know of your own
selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
21:31 So likewise all of you, when all of you see these things come
to pass, know all of you that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till
all be fulfilled.
21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall
not pass away.
21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be
overcharged with worldly excess, and drunkenness, and cares of this life,
and so that day come upon you unexpectedly.
21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face
of the whole earth.
21:36 Watch all of you therefore, and pray always, that all of you
may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass,
and to stand before the Son of man.
21:37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night
he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
21:38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple,
in order to hear him.
