Luke 21
1 And Jesus looked upon the rich, who cast their oblations into the treasury.
And as he behelde, he sawe the rich men, which cast their giftes into the treasurie.
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow, who cast in two mites.
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 hath cast in more than any one.
And he sayd, Of a trueth I say vnto you, that this poore widowe hath cast in more then they all.
4 For all they, from what was superfluous to them, have cast into the receptacle of oblations to God; but she, from her penury, hath cast in all that she possessed.
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 when some spoke of the temple, as adorned with goodly stones and oblations, Jesus said to them:
Nowe as some spake of the Temple, how it was garnished with goodly stones, and with consecrate things, he sayd,
6 As for these things, on which ye gaze, the days will come, in which there will not be left a stone upon a stone, that is not cast 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, and said: Teacher, when will these things be? And what is the sign that they are near to take place?
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 to them: See, that ye be not deceived; for many will come in my name, and will say: I am Messiah and the time is near. But go ye not 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 ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not afraid; for these things are previously to take place, but the end is not yet come.
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 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
Then said hee vnto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdome against kingdome,
11 and great earthquakes will occur in several places, and famines, and pestilences; and there will be terrors, and trepidations, and great signs from heaven will be seen, and there will be great tempests.
And great earthquakes shall be in diuers places, and hunger, and pestilence, and fearefull things, and great signes shall there be from heauen.
12 But before all these things, they will lay hands upon you, and will persecute you, and will deliver you up to councils and to prison, and will arraign you before kings and governors, on account of my name.
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 But it will be to you for a testimony.
And this shall turne to you, for a testimoniall.

15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your enemies will be unable to withstand.
For I will giue you a mouth and wisdome, where against all your aduersaries shall not be able to speake, nor resist.
16 And your parents, and your brothers, and your relatives, and your friends, will deliver you up, and cause some of you to die.
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 ye will be hated by every one, on account of my name.
And ye shall bee hated of all men for my Names sake.
18 But a hair of your head shall not perish.
Yet there shall not one heare of your heads perish.
19 And by your patience, will ye preserve your souls.
By your patience possesse your soules.

21 Then let them who shall be in Judaea, flee to the mountain district; and let them, who are in the midst of it, flee away; and those in the fields, not enter it.

24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be carried captive to every place. And Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles shall be completed.

25 And there will be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and distress of nations on the earth; and clasping of hands, from astonishment at the noise of the sea;
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 and dismay that driveth out the souls of men, from fear of that which is to come on the earth; and the powers of heaven will be moved.
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.

30 When they bud forth, ye at once understand from them that summer approacheth.
When they nowe shoote foorth, ye seeing them, knowe of your owne selues, that sommer is then neere.
31 So also, when ye shall see all these things take place, know ye 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 Verily I say to you, That this generation will not pass away, until all these things occur.

Heauen and earth shall passe away, but my wordes shall not passe away.
34 Take heed to yourselves, that your hearts be, at no time, stupefied by gluttony and ebriety and worldly care; and so that day come upon you unawares.
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, like a hunter's snare, it will spring upon all them that dwell upon the face of the whole land.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
