Luke 21
1 AND as he looked up, he saw some casting their gifts into the treasury who were rich.
And, looking up, he saw the, rich, who were casting their gifts into the treasury, —
2 And he observed also a certain widow, miserably poor, put in there two mites.
and he saw a certain poor widow, casting in thither two mites;
3 And he said, Of a truth I tell you that this poor widow hath put in more than all they:
and he said—Of a truth, I say unto you—This destitute widow, more than they all, hath cast in;
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 superfluity, have cast in among the gifts, but, she, out of her deficiency, all the living that she had, hath 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, certain saying, of the temple—With beautiful stones and offerings, hath it been adorned! 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.
As to these things, which ye are looking upon, There will come days, in which there will not be left here, stone upon stone, which will not be taken 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, therefore, will these things be? And, what the sign, when these things shall be about to come to pass?
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—Be taking heed ye be not deceived; for, many, will come upon my name, saying—I, am he, —and—The season, hath drawn near! Do not go 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.
But, whensoever ye shall hear of wars and revolutions, be not terrified, —for these things, must needs, come to pass first, but, not immediately, is the end.
10 Then saith he unto them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
Then, said he unto them—There will rise up, nation 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.
As well great earthquakes, as also, in places, pestilences and famines, will there be, as well objects of terror, as also, from heaven, great signs, will there be.
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 things, they will thrust upon you their hands, and persecute you, delivering you up into the synagogues and prisons, —when ye have been led away before kings and governors, for the sake of my name;
13 And it shall afford you an opportunity to bear your testimony.
But it shall turn out to you for a witness.
14 Therefore rest satisfied in your hearts, not to premeditate what apology to make:
Settle, then, in your hearts, not to be studying beforehand, how to make defense;
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 you a mouth and wisdom, which one-and-all who are setting themselves against, you shall be unable to withstand or gainsay.
16 But ye shall be betrayed even by parents, and brethren, and relations, and friends; and some of you they shall put to death.
But ye will be delivered up, even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends, and they will put to death some from among you;
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
And ye will be hated by all, because of my name:
18 Though a hair of your head shall in nowise perish.
And, a hair of your head, in nowise shall perish, —
19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
By your endurance, shall ye gain your lives for a possession.
20 But when ye see Jerusalem, encircled with armies, then know that the desolation of it approaches.
But whensoever ye shall see Jerusalem, encompassed by armies, then, know, that her desolation hath drawn 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 they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains, and they who are in her midst, let them go forth, —and they who are in the fields, let them not enter into her;
22 For these are the days of vengeance, when all things which are written shall be fulfilled.
For, days of avenging, are, these, for all the things written to be fulfilled.
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.
Alas! for the women with child, and for them who are giving suck, in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land, and anger against 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 edge of the sword, and be carried away captive into all the nations, and, Jerusalem, shall be trodden down by the nations, until the seasons of the nations shall be fulfilled [and shall be].
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 he signs in sun, and moon, and stars, and, on the earth, anguish of nations in embarrassment—sea and surge resounding, —
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, from fear and expectation of the things overtaking the inhabited earth. 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, will they see the Son of Man—coming in a cloud, with great power and 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, when these things are beginning to come to pass, unbend and lift up your heads, because that, your redemption, is drawing near.
29 And he spake a parable unto them, Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees,
And he spake a parable unto 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:
Whensoever they have already budded, seeing it, of yourselves, ye observe that, already near, is, the summer:
31 so ye also, when ye see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.
Thus, ye also, whensoever ye shall see, these, things coming to pass, observe ye, that, near, is the kingdom of God!
32 Verily I say unto you, That this generation shall in nowise pass away, until all these things come to pass.
Verily, I say unto you—In nowise shall this generation pass away, until, all things, shall happen:
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall never pass away.
Heaven and earth, will pass away, but, my word, in nowise will 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.
But be taking heed unto yourselves, lest once your hearts be made heavy—with debauch and drunkenness and anxieties about livelihood, and that day come upon you suddenly,
35 For as a snare shall it come upon all that are settled on the face of the whole earth.
as a snare, —For it will come in by surprise, upon all them that are 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.
But be watching in every season, making supplication, that ye may gain full vigour, to escape all these things that are about to be coming 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, by day, in the temple, teaching; but, by night, going forth, he was lodging in the mount which is 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 at day-break unto him, in the temple, to be hearkening unto him.
