Luke 21
1 And having looked up, He saw those who cast their gifts into the treasury—rich men,
And as he behelde, he sawe the rich men, which cast their giftes into the treasurie.
2 and He also saw a certain poor widow casting two mites there,
And he sawe also a certaine poore widowe which cast in thither two mites:
3 and He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow cast in more than all;
And he sayd, Of a trueth I say vnto you, that this poore widowe hath cast in more then they all.
4 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.”
For they all haue of their superfluitie cast into the offerings of God: but she of her penurie hath cast in all the liuing that she had.
5 And [as] some were speaking about the temple, that it has been adorned with good stones and devoted things, He said,
Nowe as some spake of the Temple, how it was garnished with goodly stones, and with consecrate things, he sayd,
6 “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.”
Are these ye things that ye looke vpon? the dayes will come wherein a stone shall not be left vpon a stone, that shall not be throwen downe.
7 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?”
Then they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what signe shall there be when these things shall come to passe?
8 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;
And he sayd, Take heede, that ye be not deceiued: for many will come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and the time draweth neere: follow ye not them therefore.
9 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.”
And when ye heare of warres and seditions, be not afraid: for these things must first come, but the ende foloweth not by and by.
10 Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,
Then said hee vnto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdome against kingdome,
11 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;
And great earthquakes shall be in diuers places, and hunger, and pestilence, and fearefull things, and great signes shall there be from heauen.
12 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;
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, deliuering you vp to the assemblies, and into prisons, and bring you before Kings and rulers for my Names sake.
13 and it will become to you for a testimony.
And this shall turne to you, for a testimoniall.
14 Settle, then, to your hearts, not to meditate beforehand to reply,
Lay it vp therefore in your heartes, that ye cast not before hand, what ye shall answere.
15 for I will give to you a mouth and wisdom that all your opposers will not be able to refute or resist.
For I will giue you a mouth and wisdome, where against all your aduersaries shall not be able to speake, nor resist.
16 And you will be delivered up also by parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends, and they will put [some] of you to death;
Yea, ye shalbe betrayed also of your parents, and of your brethren, and kinsmen, and friendes, and some of you shall they put to death.
17 and you will be hated by all because of My Name—
And ye shall bee hated of all men for my Names sake.
18 and a hair out of your head will not perish;
Yet there shall not one heare of your heads perish.
19 in your patience possess your souls.
By your patience possesse your soules.
20 And when you may see Jerusalem surrounded by encampments, then know that her desolation has come near;
And when ye see Hierusalem besieged with souldiers, then vnderstand that the desolation thereof is neere.
21 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;
Then let them which are in Iudea, flee to the mountaines: and let them which are in the middes thereof, depart out: and let not them that are in the countrey, enter therein.
22 because these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all things that have been written.
For these be the dayes of vengeance, to fulfill all things that are written.
23 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;
But woe be to them that be with childe, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes: for there shalbe great distresse in this land, and wrath ouer this people.
24 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.
And they shall fall on the edge of the sword, and shalbe led captiue into all nations, and Hierusalem shalbe troden vnder foote of the Gentiles, vntill the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 And there will be signs in sun, and moon, and stars, and on the earth distress of nations with perplexity, sea and wave roaring;
Then there shalbe signes in the sunne, and in the moone, and in the starres, and vpon the earth trouble among the nations with perplexitie: the sea and the waters shall roare.
26 men fainting at heart from fear, and expectation of the things coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
And mens hearts shall faile them for feare, and for looking after those thinges which shall come on the worlde: for the powers of heauen shall be shaken.
27 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud, with power and much glory;
And then shall they see the Sonne of man come in a cloude, with power and great glory.
28 and these things beginning to happen, bend yourselves back, and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
And when these things beginne to come to passe, then looke vp, and lift vp your heades: for your redemption draweth neere.
29 And He spoke an allegory to them: “See the fig tree, and all the trees,
And he spake to them a parable, Behold, the figge tree, and all trees,
30 when they may now cast forth, having seen, of yourselves you know that now the summer is near;
When they nowe shoote foorth, ye seeing them, knowe of your owne selues, that sommer is then neere.
31 so also you, when you may see these things happening, you know that the Kingdom of God is near;
So likewise yee, when yee see these thinges come to passe, knowe ye that the kingdome of God is neere.
32 truly I say to you, this generation may not pass away until all may have come to pass;
Verely I say vnto you, This age shall not passe, till all these things be done:
33 the sky and the earth will pass away, but My words may not pass away.
Heauen and earth shall passe away, but my wordes shall not passe away.
34 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,
Take heede to your selues, lest at any time your hearts be oppressed with surfeting and drunkennesse, and cares of this life, and least that day come on you at vnwares.
35 for it will come as a snare on all those dwelling on the face of all the earth,
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 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.”
Watche therefore, and pray continually, that ye may be counted worthy to escape all these thinges that shall come to passe, and that ye may stand before the Sonne of man.
37 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;
Nowe in the day time hee taught in the Temple, and at night hee went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Oliues.
38 and all the people were coming early to Him in the temple to hear Him.
And all the people came in the morning to him, to heare him in the Temple.
