|
|
|
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.
