< Luke 21 >

1 And looking on, he saw the rich men cast their gifts into the treasury.
As he behelde he sawe the ryche men how they cast in their offeringes into the treasury.
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in two brass mites.
And he sawe also a certayne povre widdowe which cast in thyther two mites.
3 And he said: Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
And he sayde: of a trueth I saye vnto you this poore wyddowe hath put in moare then they all.
4 For all these have of their abundance cast into the offerings of God: but she of her want, hath cast in all the living that she had.
For they all have of their superfluyte added vnto the offerynge of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the substaunce that she had.
5 And some saying of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said:
As some spake of the teple how it was garnesshed with goodly stones and iewels he sayde.
6 These things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down.
The dayes will come whe of these thynges which ye se shall not be lefte stone apon stone that shall not be throwen doune.
7 And they asked him, saying: Master, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when they shall begin to come to pass?
And they axed him sayinge: Master whe shall these thinges be and what signe will therbe whe suche thinges shall come to passe.
8 Who said: Take heed you be not seduced; for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the time is at hand: go ye not therefore after them.
And he sayd: take hede that ye be not deceaved. For many will come in my name saying: I am he: and the tyme draweth neare. Folowe ye not them therfore.
9 And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified: these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet presently.
But when ye heare of warre and of dissencion: be not afrayd. For these thinges must fyrst come: but the ende foloweth not by and by.
10 Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
Then sayd he vnto the: Nacion shall ryse agaynst nacion and kingdom agaynst kyngdome
11 And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places, and pestilences, and famines, and terrors from heaven; and there shall be great signs.
and greate erthquakes shall be in all quarters and honger and pestilence: and fearfull thinges. And greate signes shall therbe from heven.
12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands upon you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name’s sake.
But before all these they shall laye their hondes on you and persecute you delyueringe you vp to the sinagoges and into preson and bringe you before kynges and rulers for my names sake.
13 And it shall happen unto you for a testimony.
And this shall chaunce you for a testimoniall.
14 Lay it up therefore into your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer:
Let it sticke therfore faste in youre hertes not once to stody before what ye shall answere:
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.
for I will geve you a mouth and wisdome where agaynste all youre adversarys shall not be able to speake nor resist.
16 And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren, and kinsmen and friends; and some of you they will put to death.
Ye and ye shalbe betrayed of youre fathers and mothers and of youre brethren and kynsmen and lovers aud some of you shall they put to deeth.
17 And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
And hated shall ye be of all men for my names sake.
18 But a hair of your head shall not perish.
Yet ther shall not one heer of youre heedes perisshe.
19 In your patience you shall possess your souls.
With youre pacience possesse youre soules.
20 And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army; then know that the desolation thereof is at hand.
And when ye se Ierusalem beseged with an hoste then vnderstonde that the desolacio of the same is nye.
21 Then let those who are in Judea, flee to the mountains; and those who are in the midst thereof, depart out: and those who are in the countries, not enter into it.
Then let them which are in Iewrye flye to the mountaynes. And let them which are in the middes of it departe oute. And let not them that are in other countreis enter ther in.
22 For these are the days of vengeance, that all things may be fulfilled, that are written.
For these be the dayes of vengeance to fulfill all that are writte.
23 But woe to them that are with child, and give suck in those days; for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
But wo be to them that be with chylde and to them that geve sucke in those dayes: for ther shalbe greate trouble in the londe and wrath over all this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword; and shall be led away captives into all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles; till the times of the nations be fulfilled.
And they shall fall on the edge of the swearde and shalbe leed captive into all nacions. And Ierusalem shalbe trooden vnder fote of the gentyls vntyll the tyme of the gentyls be fulfilled.
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves;
And ther shalbe signes in the sunne ad in the mone and in the starres: and in ye erth the people shalbe in soche perplexite yt they shall not tell which waye to turne them selves. The see and the waters shall roore
26 Men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved;
and menes hertes shall fayle them for feare and for lokinge after thoose thinges which shall come on the erth. For the powers of heve shall move.
27 And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty.
And then shall they se the sonne of ma come in a clowde with power and greate glory.
28 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.
When these thinges begyn to come to passe: then loke vp and lifte vp youre heddes for youre redemcion draweth neye.
29 And he spoke to them in a similitude. See the fig tree, and all the trees:
And he shewed the a similitude: beholde ye fygge tree and all other trees
30 When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh;
when they shute forth their buddes ye se and knowe of youre awne selves that sommer is then nye at hod.
31 So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.
So lyke wyse ye (when ye se these thinges come to passe) vnderstonde that the kyngdome of God is neye.
32 Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, till all things be fulfilled.
Verely I saye vnto you: this generacion shall not passe tyll all be fulfilled.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Heaven and erth shall passe: but my wordes shall not passe.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly.
Take hede to youre selves lest youre hertes be overcome with surfettinge and dronkennes and cares of this worlde: and that that daye come on you vnwares.
35 For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that sit on the face of the erthe.
36 Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come, and to stand before the Son of man.
Watche therfore continually and praye that ye maye obtayne grace to flye all this that shall come and that ye maye stonde before the sonne of man.

In the daye tyme he taught in the temple and at night he went out and had abydinge in the mount olivete.
38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.
And all the people came in the morninge to him in the temple for to heare him.
