Luke 21
1 [Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
Having looked up now He saw the ones casting into the treasury the gifts of them rich.
2 He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
He saw then (and *k) a certain widow poor casting in lepta two.
3 He said [to his disciples], “The truth is that these rich people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs! So [God considers that] [HYP] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the others.”
And He said; Truly I say to you that widow this poor more than all has cast in;
(all *N+kO) for these out of that which was abounding to them they cast in the gifts (of God *KO) she however out of the poverty of her (all *N+kO) the livelihood that she had did cast.
5 Some [of Jesus’ disciples] talked about the Temple. [They commented about] the beautiful stones [used in building the Temple] and the other decorations that [people] had given, decorations [that were on the walls]. But he said,
And as some were speaking about the temple that with stones goodly and with consecrated gifts it has been adorned He said;
6 “[I want to tell you something about] these things that you are looking at. [They will be destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will] destroy [these buildings]} [completely]. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {They will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another.”
[As to] these things which you are beholding, will come [the] days in which not will be left stone upon stone (here *O) which not will be thrown down.
7 [Later] his disciples asked him, “Teacher, when will that happen? What will happen [to the temple] to indicate that the things [you(sg) just told us] are about to happen?”
They asked then Him saying; Teacher, when then these things will be and what [will be] the sign when may soon be these things to take place?
8 He said, “[All that I will say is], be sure that you are not deceived {that they do not deceive [you]} [about these things]! Many [people] will come and say (that I [sent them]/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will also [say] ‘It is now the time [when God will begin to rule]!’ Do not follow them [to become their disciples]
And He said; do take heed lest you may be led astray; many for will come in the name of Me saying (that: *ko) I myself am [He], and The time has drawn near. Not (therefore *K) may go after them.
9 Also, whenever you hear about wars and riots, do not be terrified. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that [the world] will end right away!”
When then you may hear of wars and commotions, not may be terrified; it behooves for these things to take place first but not immediately [is] the end.
10 Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
Then He was saying to them; Will rise up nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom,
11 There will be [big] earthquakes, and in various places there will be famines and plagues. [People will see] things that will terrify them. There will also be unusual things happening in the sky.
Earthquakes both great and in different places famines and pestilences there will be, fearful sights also and from heaven signs great will there be.
12 But before all these things happen, [some of] you will be persecuted and arrested {people will persecute some of you and arrest you} [MTY]. [Some of] you will be put {They will put [some of] you} [on trial] in the places where you gather to worship, and [you will be thrown] into prison. You will be put on trial {[They] will put you on trial} in front of high government authorities because you are my [MTY] [disciples].
Before however these things (all *N+kO) they will lay upon you the hands of them and will persecute [you] delivering [you] to (the *no) synagogues and prisons, (leading [you] *N+kO) before kings and governors on account of the name of Me.
13 That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
It will result (now *ko) to you for a testimony.
14 So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
(do implant *N+kO) therefore (in the hearts *N+kO) of you not to premeditate to present a defense;
15 because I will make you wise [HEN] so that you will [know] what to say. As a result, none of your enemies will be able to oppose what you say or (refute you/show that you are wrong).
I myself for will give you a mouth and wisdom which not will be able to resist (nor *N+kO) to reply to (all *N+kO) those opposing you.
16 [And there will also be other evil things that will happen]: Even your parents and brothers and [other] relatives and friends [who do not believe in me] will (betray you/help your enemies to seize you). They will kill some of you.
You will be betrayed then even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends and they will put to death [some] from among you.
17 [In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
And you will be hated by all because of the name of Me.
18 But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
But a hair of the head of you certainly not may perish.
19 By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
By the patient endurance of you [all] (do you gain yourselves *NK+o) the souls of you [all].
20 “But when you see that Jerusalem has been surrounded by the armies of [your enemies], you will know that it is time for [this city] to be completely destroyed {[them] to completely destroy [this city]}.
When then you may see being encircled by encampments Jerusalem, then do know that has drawn near the desolation of her.
21 At that time those [of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills. Those who are in this city must leave [quickly]. Those who are in the nearby countryside must not go back into the city [to get any of their possessions before they flee].
Then those in Judea they should flee to the mountains, and those in midst of her they should depart out, and those in the countries not they should enter into her.
22 [You must obey what I tell you] because, in order that all the things that are written [in the Scriptures] will be fulfilled, [God] will very severely punish [the people who stay in this city].
for [the] days of avenging these are (to fill *N+kO) all things which written.
23 [I feel] very sorry for women [in this city] who will be pregnant, and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away! I] feel sorry [because] the people in this [land] will suffer greatly [MTY] [when God punishes them].
But woe (now *k) to those in womb [pregnancy] having and to the [ones] nursing in those the days; there will be for distress great upon the land and wrath (in *k) to the people this,
24 Many of them will be killed {Their enemies will kill many of them} with swords. [Others will be captured] and taken {They will capture [others] and take them} to [HYP] [other] countries. Non-Jewish people will trample over Jerusalem until the time [that God has determined for them to rule the city] is ended.”
And they will fall by [the] edge of [the] sword and will be led captive into the nations all and Jerusalem will be trodden down by [the] Gentiles until (that *no) may be fulfilled (and will be *O) [the] times of [the] Gentiles.
25 “There will also be strange things that will [happen to] the sun, the moon, and the stars. In [many] nations, [people] will be very frightened, and they will be anxious [when they hear] the ocean roaring and [see huge] waves.
And (there will be *N+kO) signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity ([the] sound *N+kO) of [the] sea and rolling surge
26 People will faint because they will be afraid as they wait for what will happen. [They will be afraid] because the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken {shake}.
when are fainting men from fear and expectation of that which is coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
And then will they behold the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and glory great.
28 So when these things that [I have just now described] begin to happen, stand up [straight and] be brave, because it will be close to the time when [God] will free you [from all suffering].”
Beginning then of these things to come to pass do look up and do lift up the heads of you because draws near the redemption of you.
29 [Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
And He spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig tree and all the trees.
30 As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
When they may sprout already, looking [on them] for yourselves you know that already near the summer is.
31 Similarly, when you see these things that [I have just described] happening, you will know that it is almost time for God to [truly] rule as king.
So also you yourselves when you may see these things coming to pass, do know that near is the kingdom of God.
32 Keep this in mind: All the things that [I have just now described] will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
Amen I say to you that certainly not may have passed away generation this until when all [these things] may happen.
33 [You can be certain that these things] that I have told [you] about will happen. That they will happen is more [certain] than that the earth and sky will continue to exist.”
The heaven and the earth (will pass away, *NK+o) but the words of Mine certainly not (will pass away. *N+kO)
34 “But be on guard. Do not be getting drunk with carousing or let yourselves be distracted by worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] {or let worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] distract you}. [If you do wrong things like those, you may be suddenly surprised by my return] [MTY], like a trap [suddenly catches an animal in it].
do take heed now to yourselves otherwise otherwise (may be burdened *N+kO) of you the hearts with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of life — and may come upon you suddenly day that [very]
35 [You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
as a snare; (It will enter *N+kO) for upon all those sitting upon [the] face of all the earth.
36 So be ready at all times. Pray that you will be able to endure without being afraid of all these [difficult] things that will happen, so that you will then stand [confidently] before me, the one who came from heaven.”
do watch (also *N+KO) at every season praying that (you may have strength *N+KO) to escape these things all that are soon to come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man.
37 Each day [during that week Jesus] taught the people in the Temple [courtyard in Jerusalem]. But at night he [and his disciples] left [the city] and stayed on Olive [Tree] Hill.
He was now during the day in the temple teaching. and the evening going out He was lodging on the mount which is being called Olivet.
38 Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
And all the group of people was coming early to Him in the temple to hear Him.
