Bible. Luke
21:12. But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and
persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons,
dragging you before kings and governors, for my name's sake.
21:13. And it shall happen unto you for a testimony.
21:14. Lay it up therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before how
you shall answer:
21:15. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your
adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.
21:16. And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren and
kinsmen and friends: and some of you they will put to death.
21:17. And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake.
21:18. But a hair of your head shall not perish.
21:19. In your patience you shall possess your souls.
21:20. And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army,
then know that the desolation thereof is at hand.
21:21. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains: and those
who are in the midst thereof depart out: and those who are in the
countries not enter into it.
21:22. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things may be
fulfilled, that are written.
21:23. But woe to them that are with child and give suck in those days:
for there shall be great distress in the land and wrath upon this
people.
21:24. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led
away captives into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by
the Gentiles till the times of the nations be fulfilled.
21:25. And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the
stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the
confusion of the roaring of the sea, and of the waves:
21:26. Men withering away for fear and expectation of what shall come
upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved.
21:27. And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with
great power and majesty.
21:28. But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up
your heads, because your redemption is at hand.
21:29. And he spoke to them a similitude. See the fig tree and all the
trees:
21:30. When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is
nigh;
21:31. So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know
that the kingdom of God is at hand.
21:32. Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away till all
things be fulfilled.
21:33. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass
away.
21:34. And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be
overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and the cares of this life:
and that day come upon you suddenly.
21:35. For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of
the whole earth.
21:36. Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be
accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come and to
stand before the Son of man.
