Luke:21:5-38
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And as some spoke of the temple ,
that it was adorned with goodly stones ,
and gifts ,
he said ,
*
As for these things which ye behold ,
the days will come ,
in which there shall not be left one stone upon another ,
that will not be thrown down .
*
And they asked him ,
saying ,
Master ,
but when will these things be ?
and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass ?
*
And he said ,
Take heed that ye be not deceived :
for many will come in my name ,
saying ,
I am Christ ;
and the time draweth near :
therefore go ye not after them .
*
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 immediately .
*
Then said he to them ,
Nation will rise against nation ,
and kingdom against kingdom :
*
And great earthquakes will be in divers places ,
and famines ,
and pestilences :
and fearful sights ,
and great signs will there be from heaven .
*
But before all these they will 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 .
*
And it shall turn to you for a testimony .
*
Settle it therefore in your hearts ,
not to meditate before what ye shall answer .
*
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom ,
which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist .
*
And ye will be betrayed both by parents ,
and brethren ,
and kinsmen ,
and friends ;
and some of you will they cause to be put to death .
*
And ye will be hated by all men for my name '
s sake .
*
But there shall not a hair of your head perish .
*
In your patience possess ye your souls .
*
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies ,
then know that its desolation is nigh .
*
Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains ;
and let them who are in the midst of it depart from it ;
and let not them that are in the countries enter into it .
*
For these are the days of vengeance ,
that all things which are written may be fulfilled .
*
But woe to them that are with child ,
and to them that nurse infants in those days !
for there shall be great distress in the land ,
and wrath upon this people .
*
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 by the Gentiles ,
until the times of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled .
*
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 ;
*
Men '
s hearts failing them for fear ,
and for apprehension of those things which are coming on the earth :
for the powers of heaven shall be shaken .
*
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud ,
with power and great glory .
*
And when these things begin to come to pass ,
then look up ,
and lift up your heads :
for your redemption draweth nigh .
*
And he spoke to them a parable ;
Behold the fig-tree ,
and all the trees ;
*
When they now shoot forth ,
ye see and know of your ownselves that summer is now nigh at hand .
*
So likewise ye ,
when ye see these things come to pass ,
know that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand .
*
Verily I say to you ,
This generation shall not pass away ,
till all be fulfilled .
*
Heaven and earth shall pass away :
but my word shall not pass away .
*
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 .
*
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple ,
to hear him .
