Luke 21 — YLT
21Verse 1And having looked up, he saw those who did cast their gifts to the treasury — rich men,Verse 2and he saw also a certain poor widow casting there two mites,Verse 3and he said, 'Truly I say to you, that this poor widow did cast in more than all;Verse 4for all these out of their superabundance did cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, did cast in.'Verse 5And certain saying about the temple, that with goodly stones and devoted things it hath been adorned, he said,Verse 6'These things that ye behold — days will come, in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.'Verse 7And they questioned him, saying, 'Teacher, when, then, shall these things be? and what [is] the sign when these things may be about to happen?'Verse 8And he said, 'See — ye may not be led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying — I am [he], and the time hath come nigh; go not on then after them;Verse 9and when ye may hear of wars and uprisings, be not terrified, for it behoveth these things to happen first, but the end [is] not immediately.'Verse 10Then said he to them, 'Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,Verse 11great shakings also in every place, and famines, and pestilences, there shall be; fearful things also, and great signs from heaven there shall be;Verse 12and before all these, they shall lay on you their hands, and persecute, delivering up to synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and governors for my name's sake;Verse 13and it shall become to you for a testimony.Verse 14'Settle, then, to your hearts, not to meditate beforehand to reply,Verse 15for I will give to you a mouth and wisdom that all your opposers shall not be able to refute or resist.Verse 16'And ye shall be delivered up also by parents, and brothers, and kindred, and friends, and they shall put of you to death;Verse 17and ye shall be hated by all because of my name —Verse 18and a hair out of your head shall not perish;Verse 19in your patience possess ye your souls.Verse 20'And when ye may see Jerusalem surrounded by encampments, then know that come nigh did her desolation;Verse 21then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains; and those in her midst, let them depart out; and those in the countries, let them not come in to her;Verse 22because these are days of vengeance, to fulfil all things that have been written.Verse 23'And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days; for there shall be great distress on the land, and wrath on this people;Verse 24and they shall fall by the mouth of the sword, and shall be led captive to all the nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by nations, till the times of nations be fulfilled.Verse 25'And there shall be signs in sun, and moon, and stars, and on the land [is] distress of nations with perplexity, sea and billow roaring;Verse 26men fainting at heart from fear, and expectation of the things coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.Verse 27'And then they shall see the Son of Man, coming in a cloud, with power and much glory;Verse 28and these things beginning to happen bend yourselves back, and lift up your heads, because your redemption doth draw nigh.'Verse 29And he spake a simile to them: 'See the fig-tree, and all the trees,Verse 30when they may now cast forth, having seen, of yourselves ye know that now is the summer nigh;Verse 31so also ye, when ye may see these things happening, ye know that near is the reign of God;Verse 32verily I say to you — This generation may not pass away till all may have come to pass;Verse 33the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words may not pass away.Verse 34'And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts may be weighed down with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day may come on you,Verse 35for as a snare it shall come on all those dwelling on the face of all the land,Verse 36watch ye, then, in every season, praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.'Verse 37And he was during the days in the temple teaching, and during the nights, going forth, he was lodging at the mount called of Olives;Verse 38and all the people were coming early unto him in the temple to hear him.
