Luke 21:20–38

²⁰And when ye shall see Jerusalem ^ucompassed with armies, then know that ^wthe 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; ^xand let not them that are in the ^ycountries enter thereinto. ²²For these be the days of ^zvengeance, that all things ^awhich 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 ^bdistress in the land, and wrath upon this people. ²⁴And they shall fall by ^cthe edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be ^dtrodden down of the Gentiles, ^euntil the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. ²⁵And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth ^fdistress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; ²⁶Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on ^gthe earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. ²⁷And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. ²⁸And when these things begin to come to pass, then ^hlook up, and lift up your heads; for your ⁱredemption draweth nigh.

²⁹And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; ³⁰When they now shoot forth, ye see and know ^kof your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. ³¹So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. ³²Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. ³³Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

³⁴And ^ltake heed to yourselves, ^mlest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares ⁿof this life, and so that day ^ocome upon you unawares. ³⁵For ^pas a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. ^36qWatch ye therefore, and ^rpray always, that ye may be ^saccounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and ^tto stand before the Son of man.

³⁷And in the day time he was ^uteaching ^xin the temple; and at night he went out, and ^yabode in ^zthe mount that is called the mount of Olives. ³⁸And all the people ^xcame early in the morning to him ^xin the temple, for to hear him.
