Luke 21:11-35

¹¹and great movings of the earth shall be by places, and pestilences, and hungers, and dreads from (the) heaven(s), and great tokens shall be. (and great earthquakes shall be in places, and pestilences, and famines, and there shall be fearful things and great signs in the sky.)

¹²But before all these things they shall set their hands on you, and shall pursue you, betaking (you) into synagogues and keepings, either prisons, and drawing you to kings and to justices, for my name; (But before all these things they shall put their hands on you, and shall persecute (you), delivering you into synagogues and into prisons, and drawing (you) unto kings and unto governors, for my name’s sake;)

¹³but it shall fall to you into witnessing. (and it shall fall to you to give your testimony.)

¹⁴Therefore put ye (it) in your hearts, not to think before, how ye shall answer;

¹⁵for I shall give to you mouth and wisdom, to which all your adversaries shall not be able to against-stand, and gainsay. (for I shall give you the words and the wisdom, to which all your adversaries shall not be able to stand against, or to say anything against.)

¹⁶And ye shall be taken of father or Soothly ye shall be betrayed of father, and mother, and brethren, and cousins, and friends, and by death they shall torment some of you; (And ye shall be betrayed by father, and mother, and brothers, and cousins, and friends, and they shall torment some of you unto death;)

¹⁷and ye shall be in hate to all men for my name. and ye shall be hated of all men for my name. (and ye shall be hated by everyone for my name’s sake.)

¹⁸And an hair of your head shall not perish; (But not a hair of your head shall perish;)

¹⁹in your patience ye shall wield (or ye shall possess) your souls.

²⁰But when ye shall see Jerusalem be environed with an host of battle, then know ye, that the desolation of it shall nigh. (But when ye shall see Jerusalem encompassed with an army ready for battle, then know ye, that its destruction is near.)

²¹Then they that be in Judea, flee to the mountains; and they that be in the middle of it, go away; and they that be in the countries, enter not into it. (Then they who be in Judea, flee to the mountains; and they who (be) in its cities, go away; and they who (be) in the countryside, enter not into the cities.)

²²For these be the days of vengeance, (so) that all (the) things that be written, be fulfilled.

²³And woe to them, that be with child, and nourishing or nursing in those days; for a great dis-ease or pressure shall be on the earth (or in the land), and wrath to this people.

²⁴And they shall fall by the sharpness of (the) sword, and they shall be led (away as) prisoners or led captive into all folks; and Jerusalem shall be defouled of heathen men, till the times of (the) nations be fulfilled. (And they shall fall by the sharpness of the sword, and they shall be led away captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the nations be fulfilled.)

²⁵And tokens (or signs) shall be in the sun, and the moon, and in the stars; and in the earth overlaying of folks, for confusion of the sound of the sea and of floods or of waves;

²⁶for men shall wax dry for dread and abiding, (or for the fear and expectation), that shall come into or on all the world; for (the) virtues of (the) heaven(s) shall be moved (or for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken).

²⁷And then they shall see man’s Son coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty. (And then they shall see man’s Son coming on a cloud, with great power and majesty.)

²⁸And when these things begin to be made or begin to be done, behold ye, and raise ye (up) your heads, for your redemption nigheth (or your redemption draweth near).

²⁹And he said to them a likeness (or a parable), See ye the fig tree, and all trees,

³⁰when they bring forth now of themselves fruit or when they bring forth fruit now of them(selves), ye know that summer is nigh (or that summer is near);

³¹so also ye, when ye see these things to be done, know ye, that the kingdom of God is nigh (or that the Kingdom of God is near).

³²Truly I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all things be done. (I tell you the truth, that this generation shall not pass away, until all these things have happened.)

³³Heaven and earth shall pass (away), but my words shall not pass (away).

³⁴But take ye heed to yourselves (or Keep watch over yourselves), lest peradventure your hearts be grieved with gluttony, and drunkenness, and (the) busynesses of this life, and that day come suddenly on you;

³⁵for as a snare it shall come on all men, that sit on the face of all the earth.
