Luke 21
1 AND as he looked up, he saw some casting their gifts into the treasury who were rich.
And having looked up, He saw those who cast their gifts into the treasury—rich men,
2 And he observed also a certain widow, miserably poor, put in there two mites.
and He also saw a certain poor widow casting two mites there,
3 And he said, Of a truth I tell you that this poor widow hath put in more than all they:
and He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow cast in more than all;
4 for all they have of their superfluity cast into the oblations for God: but she out of her indigence hath cast in all the substance which she possessed.
for all these out of their superabundance cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, cast in.”
5 And some of them talking of the temple, how adorned it was with the beautiful stone-work and the dedicated offerings, he said,
And [as] some were speaking about the temple, that it has been adorned with good stones and devoted things, He said,
6 As for these things which ye are gazing upon, the days will come, in which one stone will not be left upon another, that shall not be utterly thrown down.
“These things that you behold—days will come in which there will not be left a stone on a stone that will not be thrown down.”
7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what is the sign, when these things are ready to come to pass?
And they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, when, then, will these things be? And what [is] the sign when these things may be about to happen?”
8 Then he said, Take heed that ye be not deluded: for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the period approaches: go not therefore after them.
And He said, “See—you may not be led astray, for many will come in My Name, saying, I am [He], and the time has come near; do not then go on after them;
9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the conclusion is not immediately.
and when you may hear of wars and uprisings, do not be terrified, for it is necessary for these things to happen first, but the end [is] not immediately.”
10 Then saith he unto them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,
11 and great earthquakes shall be in different places, and famines, and pestilences; and in the heaven shall be frightful appearances, and mighty signs.
also great shakings, and there will be famines and pestilences in every place; also there will be fearful things and great signs from the sky;
12 But before all these things, they will lay hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and to prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.
and before all these, they will lay on you their hands, and persecute, delivering up to synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and governors for My Name’s sake;
13 And it shall afford you an opportunity to bear your testimony.
and it will become to you for a testimony.
14 Therefore rest satisfied in your hearts, not to premeditate what apology to make:
Settle, then, to your hearts, not to meditate beforehand to reply,
15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall be utterly unable to contradict or resist.
for I will give to you a mouth and wisdom that all your opposers will not be able to refute or resist.
16 But ye shall be betrayed even by parents, and brethren, and relations, and friends; and some of you they shall put to death.
And you will be delivered up also by parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends, and they will put [some] of you to death;
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
and you will be hated by all because of My Name—
18 Though a hair of your head shall in nowise perish.
and a hair out of your head will not perish;
19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
in your patience possess your souls.
20 But when ye see Jerusalem, encircled with armies, then know that the desolation of it approaches.
And when you may see Jerusalem surrounded by encampments, then know that her desolation has come near;
21 Then let those who are in Judea fly unto the mountains; and let those who are in the midst of her get far away: and they who are in the countries, let them not enter into her.
then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains; and those in her midst, let them depart out; and those in the countries, do not let them come in to her;
22 For these are the days of vengeance, when all things which are written shall be fulfilled.
because these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all things that have been written.
23 But wo to those who are big with child, and have infants at their breasts, in those days! for there shall be great distress on the earth, and wrath upon this people.
And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days; for there will be great distress on the land, and wrath on this people;
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 under foot of the Gentiles, until the times appointed for the Gentiles shall come to their period.
and they will fall by the mouth of the sword, and will be led captive to all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trodden down by nations, until the times of nations 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, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
And there will be signs in sun, and moon, and stars, and on the earth distress of nations with perplexity, sea and wave roaring;
26 men terrified to death with fear, and expectation of the calamities coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
men fainting at heart from fear, and expectation of the things coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.
And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud, with power and much glory;
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
and these things beginning to happen, bend yourselves back, and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
29 And he spake a parable unto them, Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees,
And He spoke an allegory to them: “See the fig tree, and all the trees,
30 when they now put forth, as soon as ye see it ye know in yourselves that the summer is now near:
when they may now cast forth, having seen, of yourselves you know that now the summer is near;
31 so ye also, when ye see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.
so also you, when you may see these things happening, you know that the Kingdom of God is near;
32 Verily I say unto you, That this generation shall in nowise pass away, until all these things come to pass.
truly I say to you, this generation may not pass away until all may have come to pass;
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall never pass away.
the sky and the earth will pass away, but My words may not pass away.
34 But take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts should be overloaded with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the anxious cares of life, and that day should come upon you unawares.
And take heed to yourselves lest your hearts may be weighed down with carousing, and drunkenness, and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day may come on you,
35 For as a snare shall it come upon all that are settled on the face of the whole earth.
for it will come as a snare on all those dwelling on the face of all the earth,
36 Watch therefore, praying at every proper opportunity, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are ready to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
watch, then, in every season, praying that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 And during the day he continued teaching in the temple; but at night he went out, and lodged in the mountain called the mount of Olives.
And He was teaching in the temple during the days, and during the nights, going forth, He was lodging at [that] called the Mount of Olives;
38 And all the people came to him early in the morning at the temple, to hear him.
and all the people were coming early to Him in the temple to hear Him.
