Luke 21:1-24 : King James Version

21 1And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4For 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.
5And as some spake of the
temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
6As 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. 7And they asked him, saying,
Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be
when these things shall come to pass? 8And 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. 9But 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. 10Then said he unto
them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and
famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall
there be from heaven. 12But 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. 13And it shall turn to you for a
testimony. 14Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to
meditate before what ye shall answer: 15For I will give
you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able
to gainsay nor resist. 16And 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. 17And ye shall be
hated of all men for my name's sake. 18But there shall
not an hair of your head perish. 19In your patience
possess ye your souls. 20And when ye shall see Jerusalem
compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is
nigh. 21Then let them which are in Judaea 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. 22For
these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written
may be fulfilled. 23But 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. 24And
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.
