Luke 21:1–19

And he looked up, ^aand saw the rich men casting their ^bgifts 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 ^bofferings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

^5cAnd as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and ^dgifts, he said, ⁶As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which ^ethere 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: ^ffor many shall come in my name, saying, I am ^gChrist; and the time draweth near: ^fgo ye not therefore after them. ⁹But when ye shall hear of wars and ^hcommotions, be not ⁱterrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not ^kby 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, ^lthey shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and ^minto prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. ¹³And ⁿit shall turn to you for a testimony. ^14oSettle it therefore in your hearts, not to ^pmeditate before what ye shall answer: ¹⁵for I will give you ^qa 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 ^rthere shall not a hair of your head perish. ¹⁹In your ^spatience ^tpossess ye your souls.
