You shall be betrayed by parents, brethren, kinsfolks, and friends;
some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated
by all men for my name's sake. But there shall not be a hair on your
head that will perish.
In your patience carefully guard your souls, and when ye see Jerusalem
compassed with armies, then know that the desolation is near. Then let
those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let those who are in
the midst of it get away; and do not let those out in the country enter
in. These are the days of vengeance, when all things that are written
will be fulfilled.
There shall be great distress in the land and wrath upon the people.
They shall fall by the sword, and shall be led away as captives into
all nations. Jerusalem shall be trodden down until the time of the
Gentiles is fulfilled.
There shall be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars. The
entire earth shall be in distress, nations will be in crisis as the sea
and the waves roar. Hearts shall fail from fear and from looking after
those things that are happening on the earth, for the powers of heaven
will be shaken.
And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and
great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up,
and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near.
Then Jesus told a parable. He said, Behold the fig tree, and all the
trees. When new shoots come forth, you see and, inside you know, that
summer is close at hand. So, likewise, when ye see these things come to
pass, know that the kingdom of God is near at hand. I say to you, This
generation shall not pass away, until all this is fulfilled. Heaven and
earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
And watch yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with
self-indulgence, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day
comes and you are unaware and unprepared. For, as a snare, it shall
come on all who dwell on the face of the earth. Watch, therefore, and
pray always, so you may be counted worthy to escape these things that
shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
During the day Jesus taught in the temple. At night He went out of the
city and abode in the mount called the mount of Olives. People came to
the temple early in the morning to hear Him.
22 The feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover,
was near. The chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill Him;
for they feared the people. Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot who
was one of the twelve. He approached the chief priests and captains and
said he was willing to betray Jesus to them. They were glad and agreed
to give him money. He gave a promise and then sought an opportunity to
betray Him.
