Luke 21
1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men that were casting their gifts into the treasury.
Ἀναβλέψας δὲ, εἶδεν τοὺς βάλλοντας εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον τὰ δῶρα αὐτῶν πλουσίους.
2 And he saw a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
Εἶδεν δέ τινα χήραν πενιχρὰν, βάλλουσαν ἐκεῖ λεπτὰ δύο.
3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all:
Καὶ εἶπεν, “Ἀληθῶς λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἡ χήρα αὕτη ἡ πτωχὴ, πλεῖον πάντων ἔβαλεν·
4 for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts: but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.
πάντες γὰρ οὗτοι ἐκ τοῦ περισσεύοντος αὐτοῖς ἔβαλον εἰς τὰ δῶρα, αὕτη δὲ ἐκ τοῦ ὑστερήματος αὐτῆς, πάντα τὸν βίον ὃν εἶχεν ἔβαλεν.”
5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and offerings, he said,
Καί τινων λεγόντων περὶ τοῦ ἱεροῦ ὅτι λίθοις καλοῖς καὶ ἀναθήμασιν κεκόσμηται, εἶπεν,
6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
“Ταῦτα ἃ θεωρεῖτε, ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ἐν αἷς οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται λίθος ἐπὶ λίθῳ, ὧδε, ὃς οὐ καταλυθήσεται.”
7 And they asked him, saying, Master, when therefore shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when these things are about to come to pass?
Ἐπηρώτησαν δὲ αὐτὸν λέγοντες, “Διδάσκαλε, πότε οὖν ταῦτα ἔσται, καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον ὅταν μέλλῃ ταῦτα γίνεσθαι;”
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he]; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Βλέπετε, μὴ πλανηθῆτε· πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου λέγοντες, ‘Ἐγώ εἰμι’, καί, ‘Ὁ καιρὸς ἤγγικεν.’ Μὴ πορευθῆτε ὀπίσω αὐτῶν.
9 And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must needs come to pass first; but the end is not immediately.
Ὅταν δὲ ἀκούσητε πολέμους καὶ ἀκαταστασίας, μὴ πτοηθῆτε· δεῖ γὰρ ταῦτα γενέσθαι πρῶτον, ἀλλʼ οὐκ εὐθέως τὸ τέλος.”
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
Τότε ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Ἐγερθήσεται ἔθνος ἐπʼ ἔθνος, καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν,
11 and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven.
σεισμοί τε μεγάλοι, καὶ κατὰ τόπους, λιμοὶ καὶ λοιμοὶ ἔσονται, φόβητρά τε καὶ σημεῖα ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ μεγάλα ἔσται.
12 But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
Πρὸ δὲ τούτων πάντων, ἐπιβαλοῦσιν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν, καὶ διώξουσιν, παραδιδόντες εἰς τὰς συναγωγὰς καὶ φυλακάς, ἀπαγομένους ἐπὶ βασιλεῖς καὶ ἡγεμόνας, ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός μου.
13 It shall turn unto you for a testimony.
Ἀποβήσεται ὑμῖν εἰς μαρτύριον.
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer:
Θέτε οὖν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν μὴ προμελετᾶν ἀπολογηθῆναι,
15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to gainsay.
ἐγὼ γὰρ δώσω ὑμῖν στόμα καὶ σοφίαν, ᾗ οὐ δυνήσονται ἀντιστῆναι ἢ ἀντειπεῖν πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι ὑμῖν.
16 But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause to be put to death.
Παραδοθήσεσθε δὲ καὶ ὑπὸ γονέων, καὶ ἀδελφῶν, καὶ συγγενῶν, καὶ φίλων, καὶ θανατώσουσιν ἐξ ὑμῶν.
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
Καὶ ἔσεσθε μισούμενοι ὑπὸ πάντων διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου.
18 And not a hair of your head shall perish.
Καὶ θρὶξ ἐκ τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν, οὐ μὴ ἀπόληται.
19 In your patience ye shall win your souls.
Ἐν τῇ ὑπομονῇ ὑμῶν, κτήσεσθε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν.
20 But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.
Ὅταν δὲ ἴδητε κυκλουμένην ὑπὸ στρατοπέδων Ἰερουσαλήμ, τότε γνῶτε ὅτι ἤγγικεν ἡ ἐρήμωσις αὐτῆς.
21 Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein.
Τότε οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ, φευγέτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὄρη, καὶ οἱ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, ἐκχωρείτωσαν, καὶ οἱ ἐν ταῖς χώραις, μὴ εἰσερχέσθωσαν εἰς αὐτήν.
22 For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
Ὅτι ἡμέραι ἐκδικήσεως αὗταί εἰσιν τοῦ πλησθῆναι πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα.
23 Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.
Οὐαὶ δὲ ταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις· ἔσται γὰρ ἀνάγκη μεγάλη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ὀργὴ τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Καὶ πεσοῦνται στόματι μαχαίρας, καὶ αἰχμαλωτισθήσονται εἰς τὰ ἔθνη· πάντα· καὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἔσται πατουμένη ὑπὸ ἐθνῶν, ἄχρι οὗ πληρωθῶσιν καιροὶ ἐθνῶν.
25 And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;
Καὶ ἔσονται σημεῖα ἐν ἡλίῳ, καὶ σελήνῃ, καὶ ἄστροις, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς συνοχὴ ἐθνῶν, ἐν ἀπορίᾳ ἤχους θαλάσσης καὶ σάλου,
26 men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
ἀποψυχόντων ἀνθρώπων ἀπὸ φόβου καὶ προσδοκίας τῶν ἐπερχομένων τῇ οἰκουμένῃ, αἱ γὰρ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Καὶ τότε ὄψονται ‘τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, ἐρχόμενον ἐν νεφέλῃ’ μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς.
28 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.
Ἀρχομένων δὲ τούτων γίνεσθαι, ἀνακύψατε καὶ ἐπάρατε τὰς κεφαλὰς ὑμῶν, διότι ἐγγίζει ἡ ἀπολύτρωσις ὑμῶν.”
29 And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees:
Καὶ εἶπεν παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς: “Ἴδετε τὴν συκῆν καὶ πάντα τὰ δένδρα·
30 when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh.
ὅταν προβάλωσιν ἤδη, βλέποντες ἀφʼ ἑαυτῶν, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἤδη ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος ἐστίν.
31 Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh.
Οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ἴδητε ταῦτα γινόμενα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished.
Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη, ἕως ἂν πάντα γένηται.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ παρελεύσονται, οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρελεύσονται.
34 But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:
Προσέχετε δὲ ἑαυτοῖς, μήποτε βαρηθῶσιν αἱ καρδίαι ὑμῶν ἐν κραιπάλῃ, καὶ μέθῃ, καὶ μερίμναις βιωτικαῖς, καὶ ἐπιστῇ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς αἰφνίδιος ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη
35 for [so] shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth.
ὡς παγίς· ἐπεισελεύσεται γὰρ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς καθημένους ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς.
36 But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Ἀγρυπνεῖτε δὲ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ, δεόμενοι ἵνα κατισχύσητε ἐκφυγεῖν ταῦτα πάντα τὰ μέλλοντα γίνεσθαι, καὶ σταθῆναι ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου.”
37 And every day he was teaching in the temple; and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called [the mount] of Olives.
Ἦν δὲ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ διδάσκων, τὰς δὲ νύκτας ἐξερχόμενος, ηὐλίζετο εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ καλούμενον Ἐλαιῶν.
38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.
Καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὤρθριζεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ.
