Luke 21 (WEBP)

[1] He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
[2] He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
[3] He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
[4] for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”
[5] As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
[6] “As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down.”
[7] They asked him, “Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
[8] He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.
[9] When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”
[10] Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
[11] There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
[12] But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
[13] It will turn out as a testimony for you.
[14] Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
[15] for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
[16] You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
[17] You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
[18] And not a hair of your head will perish.
[19] “By your endurance you will win your lives.
[20] “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
[21] Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.
[22] For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
[23] Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath to this people.
[24] They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
[25] “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;
[26] men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
[27] Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
[28] But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
[29] He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.
[30] When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
[31] Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
[32] Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
[33] Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
[34] “So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.
[35] For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
[36] Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
[37] Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.
[38] All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.

Luke 21:2 Literally, “two lepta.” 2 lepta was about 1% of a day’s wages for an agricultural laborer.
Luke 21:8 or, I Am

[1] And he looked up, () and saw () the rich men casting () their gifts into the treasury.
[2] And he saw () also a certain poor widow casting () in thither two mites.
[3] And he said, () Of a truth I say () unto you, that this poor widow hath cast () in more than they all:
[4] for all these have of their abundance () cast () in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast () in all the living that she had. ()
[5] And as some spake () of the temple, how it was adorned () with goodly stones and gifts, he said, ()
[6] As for these things which ye behold, () the days will come, () in the which there shall not be left () one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. ()
[7] And they asked () him, saying, () Master, but when shall these things be? () and what sign will there be when these things shall () come to pass? ()
[8] And he said, () Take heed () that ye be not deceived: () for many shall come () in my name, saying, () I am () Christ; and the time draweth near: () go ye () not therefore 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 end is not by and by.
[10] Then said he () unto them, Nation shall rise () against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
[11] and great earthquakes shall be () in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be () from heaven.
[12] But before all these, they shall lay () their hands on you, and persecute () you, delivering () you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought () before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.
[13] And it shall turn () to you for a testimony.
[14] Settle () it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before () what ye shall answer: ()
[15] for I will give () you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries () shall not be able () to gainsay () nor resist. ()
[16] And ye shall be betrayed () both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. ()
[17] And ye shall be () hated () of all men for my name’s sake.
[18] But there shall not an hair of your head perish. ()
[19] In your patience possess ye () your souls.
[20] And when ye shall see () Jerusalem compassed () with armies, then know () that the desolation thereof is nigh. ()
[21] Then let them which are in Judæa flee () to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; () and let not them that are in the countries enter () thereinto.
[22] For these be () the days of vengeance, that all things which are written () may be fulfilled. ()
[23] But woe unto them that are with child, () and to them that give suck, () in those days! for there shall be () great distress in the land, and wrath upon 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 down () of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. ()
[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; ()
[26] men’s hearts failing them () for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on () the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. ()
[27] And then shall they see () the Son of man coming () in a cloud with power and great glory.
[28] And when these things begin () to come to pass, () then look up, () and lift up () your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. ()
[29] And he spake () to them a parable; Behold () the fig tree, and all the trees;
[30] when they now shoot forth, () ye see () and know () of your own selves that summer is () now nigh at hand.
[31] So likewise ye, when ye see () these things come to pass, () know ye () that the kingdom of God is () nigh at hand.
[32] Verily I say () unto you, This generation shall not pass away, () till all be fulfilled. ()
[33] Heaven and earth shall pass away: () but my words shall not pass away. ()
[34] And take heed () to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged () with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come () upon you unawares.
[35] For as a snare shall it come () on all them that dwell () on the face of the whole earth.
[36] Watch ye () therefore, and pray () always, that ye may be accounted worthy () to escape () all these things that shall () come to pass, () and to stand () before the Son of man.
[37] And in the day time he was () teaching () in the temple; and at night he went out, () and abode () in the mount that is called () the mount of Olives.
