Luke 21
21
1And he looked up, and saw the rich men that were casting their gifts into the treasury. 2And he saw a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all: 4for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.
5And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and offerings, he said, 6As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 7And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are about to come to pass? 8And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them. 9And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must needs come to pass first; but the end is not immediately.
10Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; 11and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven. 12But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake. 13It shall turn out unto you for a testimony. 14Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer: 15for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to gainsay. 16But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 17And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. 18And not a hair of your head shall perish. 19In your patience ye shall win your souls.
20But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand. 21Then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein. 22For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people. 24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows; 26men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. 27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.
29And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees: 30when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh. 31Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh. 32Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished. 33Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare: 35for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth. 36But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37And every day he was teaching in the temple; and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called Olivet. 38And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.

Luke 21
21
Teaching in the Temple
1Then Yeshua looked up and saw the rich dropping their gifts into the treasury box.
2He also saw a poor widow dropping in two small copper coins.
3And He said, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all the rest.
4For all these put in their gifts from their surplus. But she, out of her poverty, put in all she had to live on.”
5And while some were talking about the Temple, how it was decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, Yeshua said,
6“As for these things you are looking at, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another. Every one will be torn down!”
7And they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, so when will these things happen? What will be the sign that these things are about to take place?”
8And He said, “Watch out that you are not led astray! For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He’ and ‘The time is near!’ Do not follow them.
9And when you hear of wars and chaos, do not be terrorized. For these things need to happen first, but the end will not come at once.”
10Then He continued telling them, “Nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11There will be great earthquakes along with famines and epidemics in various places, and there will be terrors along with great signs from heaven.
12But before all these things, they will grab you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues and prisons, and leading you away to kings and governors on account of My name.
13This will lead you to be a witness.
14So make up your minds not to prepare ahead of time to defend yourselves—
15for I Myself will give you speech and wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute.
16But you will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends—and they will put some of you to death.
17And you will be hated by all because of My name.
18Yet not a hair of your head will be lost.
19By your endurance, you will gain your souls.
20“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.
21Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those inside the city must get out, and those in the countryside must not enter her.
22For these are the days of punishment, to fulfill all that has been written.
23“Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath on this people.
24They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led away captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25“There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars. And upon the earth nations will be confused by the roaring of the sea and its waves.
26People will lose heart from fear and anticipation of what is overtaking the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28Now when these things begin to happen, stand straight and lift up your heads, because your salvation is near!”
29Then Yeshua told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.
30As soon as they sprout their leaves, you see it and you know at once that summer is near.
31So also, when you see these all these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
32Amen, I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
33Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
34“But watch out so your hearts are not weighed down by carousing, strong drink, and the worries of life. Do not let that day come upon you suddenly like a trap.
35For it will come rushing upon all who live on the face of the whole earth.
36But stay alert at all times, praying that you may have the strength to escape all these things about to happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37So during the days Yeshua was teaching in the Temple, but in the nights He went out and stayed on the Mount of Olives.
38And all the people would come early in the morning to hear Him in the Temple.
