Luke 21
1 And having looked up, he saw those who did cast their gifts to the treasury — rich men,
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 casting there 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 did 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 did cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, did 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 certain saying about the temple, that with goodly stones and devoted things it hath been adorned, 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 ye behold — days will come, in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall 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, shall 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 — 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;
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 may hear of wars and uprisings, be not terrified, for it behoveth 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 said he to them, 'Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,
Then said hee vnto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdome against kingdome,
11 great shakings also in every place, and famines, and pestilences, there shall be; fearful things also, and great signs from heaven there shall be;
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 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;
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 shall 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 shall 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 ye shall be delivered up also by parents, and brothers, and kindred, and friends, and they shall put 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 ye shall 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 shall not perish;
Yet there shall not one heare of your heads perish.
19 in your patience possess ye your souls.
By your patience possesse your soules.
20 'And when ye may see Jerusalem surrounded by encampments, then know that come nigh did her desolation;
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, let them not 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 fulfil 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 shall 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 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.
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 shall be signs in sun, and moon, and stars, and on the land [is] distress of nations with perplexity, sea and billow 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 shall 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 shall 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 doth draw nigh.'
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 spake a simile 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 ye know that now is the summer nigh;
When they nowe shoote foorth, ye seeing them, knowe of your owne selues, that sommer is then neere.
31 so also ye, when ye may see these things happening, ye know that near is the reign of God;
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 — This generation may not pass away till all may have come to pass;
Verely I say vnto you, This age shall not passe, till all these things be done:
33 the heaven and the earth shall 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 surfeiting, 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 as a snare it shall come on all those dwelling on the face of all the land,
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 watch 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.'
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 during the days in the temple teaching, and during the nights, going forth, he was lodging at the mount called 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 unto him in the temple to hear him.
And all the people came in the morning to him, to heare him in the Temple.
