Lord, how is he then his son?
[45] Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
[46]
Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the
highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
[47] Which devour widows' houses, and
for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
Luke.21
[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 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.
[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.
[38] And all
the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
Luke.22
[1] Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
[2] And the chief priests
and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
[3] Then entered Satan into Judas
