Luke 21:13-29 in English

¹³ It shall turn out unto you for a testimony.

¹⁴ Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer:

¹⁵ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to gainsay.

¹⁶ But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

¹⁷ And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.

¹⁸ And not a hair of your head shall perish.

¹⁹ In your patience ye shall win your souls.

²⁰ But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.

²¹ Then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein.

²² For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²³ Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.

²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

²⁵ And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;

²⁶ men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

²⁷ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.

²⁹ And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees:

¹³ And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

¹⁴ Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

¹⁶ And 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.

¹⁷ And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.

¹⁸ But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

¹⁹ In your patience possess ye your souls.

²⁰ And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

²¹ Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

²² For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²³ But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

²⁵ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

²⁶ Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

²⁷ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

²⁹ And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

¹³ And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

¹⁴ Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

¹⁶ And 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.

¹⁷ And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.

¹⁸ But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

¹⁹ In your patience possess ye your souls.

²⁰ And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

²¹ Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

²² For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²³ But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

²⁵ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

²⁶ Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

²⁷ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁰ But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.

²¹ Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein.

²² For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²³ Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.

²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

²⁵ And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;

²⁶ men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

²⁷ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.

²⁹ And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees:

¹³ That will be a time for you to tell them about me.

¹⁴ So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,

¹⁵ because I will make you wise HEN so that you will know what to say. As a result, none of your enemies will be able to oppose what you say or ◄refute you/show that you are wrong►.

¹⁶ And there will also be other evil things that will happen: Even your parents and brothers and other relatives and friends who do not believe in me will ◄betray you/help your enemies to seize you►. They will kill some of you.

¹⁷ In general, most people will HYP hate you because you believe in me MTY.

¹⁸ But your souls will be absolutely safe IDM.

¹⁹ By enduring all these things people will do to you, you will preserve your eternal life SYN.”

²⁰ “But when you see that Jerusalem has been surrounded by the armies of your enemies, you will know that it is time for this city to be completely destroyed { them to completely destroy this city}.

²¹ At that time those of you who are in Judea district must flee to the higher hills. Those who are in this city must leave quickly. Those who are in the nearby countryside must not go back into the city to get any of their possessions before they flee.

²² You must obey what I tell you because, in order that all the things that are written in the Scriptures will be fulfilled, God will very severely punish the people who stay in this city.

²³ I feel very sorry for women in this city who will be pregnant, and women who will be nursing their babies in those days, because it will be very difficult for them to run away! I feel sorry because the people in this land will suffer greatly MTY when God punishes them.

²⁴ Many of them will be killed {Their enemies will kill many of them} with swords. Others will be captured and taken {They will capture others and take them} to HYP other countries. Non-Jewish people will trample over Jerusalem until the time that God has determined for them to rule the city is ended.”

²⁵ “There will also be strange things that will happen to the sun, the moon, and the stars. In many nations, people will be very frightened, and they will be anxious when they hear the ocean roaring and see huge waves.

²⁶ People will faint because they will be afraid as they wait for what will happen. They will be afraid because the powerful objects in the sky will be shaken {shake}.

²⁷ Then they will see me, the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.

²⁸ So when these things that I have just now described begin to happen, stand up straight and be brave, because it will be close to the time when God will free you from all suffering.”

²⁹ Then Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the other trees.

¹³ It will turn out as a testimony for you.

¹⁴ Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,

¹⁵ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.

¹⁶ You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.

¹⁷ You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.

¹⁸ And not a hair of your head will perish.

¹⁹ “By your endurance you will win your lives.

²⁰ “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.

²¹ Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.

²² For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²³ Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath to this people.

²⁴ They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

²⁵ “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;

²⁶ men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

²⁷ Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”

²⁹ He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.

¹³ It will turn out as a testimony for you.

¹⁴ Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,

¹⁵ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.

¹⁶ You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.

²⁰ “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.

²¹ Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.

²² For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²³ Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath to this people.

²⁴ They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

²⁵ “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;

²⁶ men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

²⁷ Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”

²⁹ He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.

¹³ It will turn out as a testimony for you.

¹⁴ Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,

¹⁵ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.

²⁰ “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.

²¹ Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.

²² For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²⁴ They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

²⁵ “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;

²⁶ men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

²⁷ Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”

²⁹ He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.

¹³ And it will be turned to a witness for you.

¹⁴ So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:

¹⁵ For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.

¹⁶ But you will be given up even by your fathers and mothers, your brothers and relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death.

¹⁷ And you will be hated by all men, because of me.

¹⁸ But not a hair of your head will come to destruction.

¹⁹ By going through all these things, you will keep your lives.

²⁰ But when you see armies all round about Jerusalem, then be certain that her destruction is near.

²¹ Then let those who are in Judaea go in flight to the mountains; and those who are in the middle of the town go out; and let not those who are in the country come in.

²² For these are the days of punishment, in which all the things in the Writings will be put into effect.

²³ It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people.

²⁴ And they will be put to death with the sword, and will be taken as prisoners into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be crushed under the feet of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles are complete.

²⁵ And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth, fear among the nations and doubt because of the loud noise of the sea and the waves;

²⁶ Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved.

²⁷ And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.

²⁸ But when these things come about, let your heads be lifted up, because your salvation is near.

²⁹ And he made a story for them: See the fig-tree, and all the trees;

¹³ but it shall turn out to you for a testimony.

¹⁴ Settle therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand your defence,

¹⁵ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your opposers shall not be able to reply to or resist.

¹⁶ But ye will be delivered up even by parents and brethren and relations and friends, and they shall put to death some from among you,

¹⁷ and ye will be hated of all for my name's sake.

¹⁸ And a hair of your head shall in no wise perish.

¹⁹ By your patient endurance gain your souls.

²⁰ But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed with armies, then know that its desolation is drawn nigh.

²¹ Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of it depart out, and those who are in the country not enter into it;

²² for these are days of avenging, that all the things that are written may be accomplished.

²³ But woe to them that are with child and to them who give suck in those days, for there shall be great distress upon the land and wrath upon this people.

²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the nations until the times of the nations be fulfilled.

²⁵ And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roar of the sea and rolling waves,

²⁶ men ready to die through fear and expectation of what is coming on the habitable earth, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

²⁷ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws nigh.

²⁹ And he spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig-tree and all the trees;

¹³ And it shall happen unto you for a testimony.

¹⁴ Lay it up therefore into your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer:

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.

¹⁶ And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren, and kinsmen and friends; and some of you they will put to death.

¹⁷ And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake.

¹⁸ But a hair of your head shall not perish.

¹⁹ In your patience you shall possess your souls.

²⁰ And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army; then know that the desolation thereof is at hand.

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.

²² For these are the days of vengeance, that all things may be fulfilled, that are written.

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.

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.

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;

²⁶ Men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved;

²⁷ And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty.

²⁸ But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.

²⁹ And he spoke to them in a similitude. See the fig tree, and all the trees:

¹³ But it shall turn out for you for a testimony.

¹⁴ Put it then in your hearts not to practice beforehand giving your defense;

¹⁵ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict, nor to withstand.

¹⁶ You will be betrayed even by parents and relatives, friends and brothers; and they will put some of you to death.

¹⁷ And you will be hated by all people for My name's sake.

¹⁸ But not a hair of your head shall by any means perish.

¹⁹ By your patient endurance you shall possess your souls.

²⁰ “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has drawn near.

²¹ Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the fields enter into her.

²² For these are the days of vengeance, to fulfill all that has been written.

²³ But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing a baby in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath among this people.

²⁴ And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

²⁵ “And there shall be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, as the sea and the waves roar,

²⁶ men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming upon the earth, for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

²⁷ Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

²⁹ Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.

¹³ But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony.

¹⁴ So settle it in your hearts not to practice giving a defense beforehand;

¹⁵ because I will give you a mouth and wisdom such that all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or withstand.

¹⁶ You will be betrayed even by parents and relatives, friends and ‘brothers’; and they will put some of you to death.

¹⁷ And you will be hated by all because of my name.

¹⁸ (Not even one hair of your head will be wasted

¹⁹ —you must secure your souls by your endurance.)

²⁰ “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.

²¹ Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let those who are in the city get out, and let those who are in the country not enter her.

²² Because these are days of vengeance, that all the written things may be fulfilled.

²³ But woe to those who are pregnant and to those nursing babies in those days! There will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.

²⁴ Yes, they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

²⁵ “There will be signs in sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, at the roaring and tossing of the sea;

²⁶ men fainting from fear and expectation of the things coming on the inhabited earth—because the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

²⁷ Then they will see the Son of the Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ Now when these things begin to happen, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

²⁹ Then He told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.

¹³ But this will provide you an opportunity to speak on my behalf before them.

¹⁴ So make up your mind beforehand not to worry about how to defend yourselves,

¹⁵ for I will give you words of wisdom that your enemies won't be able to dispute or contradict.

¹⁶ You will be betrayed even by your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will kill some of you.

¹⁷ Everyone will hate you because of me.

¹⁸ But not a single hair of your head will be lost.

¹⁹ By standing firm you will gain your lives.

²⁰ However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you know that its destruction is near.

²¹ Those who are in Judea should run away to the mountains, and those who are in Jerusalem should leave, and those who are the countryside shouldn't enter the city.

²² For these are days of punishment, fulfilling all that's written.

²³ How hard it will be for those who are pregnant or nursing babies at that time! For terrible trouble is coming on the land and punishment against this people.

²⁴ They will be killed by the sword and taken away as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trodden down by the foreign nations until their time is fulfilled.

²⁵ There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars, and on the earth the nations will be in distress, confused by the sea's rolling and crashing.

²⁶ People will be faint from fear, terrified about what is happening to the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.

²⁷ Then they'll see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ But when these things happen, stand up and look up, because you will soon be saved.”

²⁹ Then he told them this story as an illustration. “Look at the fig tree, or any other kind of tree.

¹³ And this shall turne to you, for a testimoniall.

¹⁴ Lay it vp therefore in your heartes, that ye cast not before hand, what ye shall answere.

¹⁵ For I will giue you a mouth and wisdome, where against all your aduersaries shall not be able to speake, nor resist.

¹⁶ Yea, ye shalbe betrayed also of your parents, and of your brethren, and kinsmen, and friendes, and some of you shall they put to death.

¹⁷ And ye shall bee hated of all men for my Names sake.

¹⁸ Yet there shall not one heare of your heads perish.

¹⁹ By your patience possesse your soules.

²⁰ And when ye see Hierusalem besieged with souldiers, then vnderstand that the desolation thereof is neere.

²¹ Then let them which are in Iudea, flee to the mountaines: and let them which are in the middes thereof, depart out: and let not them that are in the countrey, enter therein.

²² For these be the dayes of vengeance, to fulfill all things that are written.

²³ But woe be to them that be with childe, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes: for there shalbe great distresse in this land, and wrath ouer this people.

²⁴ And they shall fall on the edge of the sword, and shalbe led captiue into all nations, and Hierusalem shalbe troden vnder foote of the Gentiles, vntill the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

²⁵ Then there shalbe signes in the sunne, and in the moone, and in the starres, and vpon the earth trouble among the nations with perplexitie: the sea and the waters shall roare.

²⁶ And mens hearts shall faile them for feare, and for looking after those thinges which shall come on the worlde: for the powers of heauen shall be shaken.

²⁷ And then shall they see the Sonne of man come in a cloude, with power and great glory.

²⁸ And when these things beginne to come to passe, then looke vp, and lift vp your heades: for your redemption draweth neere.

²⁹ And he spake to them a parable, Behold, the figge tree, and all trees,

¹³ And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

¹⁴ Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

¹⁵ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

¹⁶ And 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.

¹⁷ And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.

¹⁸ But there shall not a hair of your head perish.

¹⁹ In your patience possess ye your souls.

²⁰ And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

²¹ Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

²² For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²³ But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days, for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

²⁵ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

²⁶ men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

²⁷ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

²⁹ And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

¹³ It will turn out to you an opportunity for bearing testimony.

¹⁴ Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate l beforehand what ye shall answer.

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or gainsay.

¹⁶ And ye will be delivered up both by parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends; and some of you will they put to death.

¹⁷ And ye will be hated by all on account of my name.

¹⁸ But not a hair of your head will be lost.

¹⁹ By your constancy secure your lives.

²⁰ But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed by armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.

²¹ Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let those who are within the city go out of it, and let not those in the open country enter it.

²² For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²³ But woe to the women with child, and to those having children at the breast, in those days! For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people;

²⁴ and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led away captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trodden down by the gentiles, until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled.

²⁵ And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth distress of nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and waves;

²⁶ men's hearts failing them from fear, and from looking for those things which are coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

²⁷ And then will they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ And when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

²⁹ And he spoke to them a parable: Behold the fig-tree and all the trees;

¹³ Then will be your opportunity of witnessing for me.

¹⁴ Make up your minds, therefore, not to prepare your defence;

¹⁵ for I will myself give you words, and a wisdom which all your opponents together will be unable to resist or defy.

¹⁶ You will be betrayed even by your parents and brothers and sisters and sisters and relatives and friends, and they will cause some of you to be put to death,

¹⁷ and you will be hated by everyone because of me my name.

¹⁸ Yet not a single hair of your heads will be lost!

¹⁹ By your endurance you will win yourselves life.

²⁰ As soon, however, as you see Jerusalem surrounded by armed camps, then you may know that the hour of her desecration is at hand.

²¹ Then those of you who are in Judea must take refuge in the mountains, those who are in Jerusalem must leave at once, and those who are in the country places must not go into it.

²² For these are to be the days of vengeance, when all that scripture says will be fulfilled.

²³ Alas for pregnant women, and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great suffering in the land, and anger against this people.

²⁴ They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be taken prisoners to every land, and Jerusalem will be under the heel of the Gentiles, until their day is over — as it will be.

²⁵ There will be signs, too, in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth despair amongst the nations, in their dismay at the roar of the sea and the surge.

²⁶ People's hearts will fail them through dread of what is coming upon the world; for the forces of the heavens will be convulsed.

²⁷ Then will be seen the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ And, when these things begin to occur, look upwards and lift your heads, for your deliverance will be at hand.”

²⁹ Then he taught them a lesson, saying — “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees.

¹³ Then will be your opportunity of witnessing for me.

¹⁴ Make up your minds, therefore, not to prepare your defense;

¹⁵ for I will myself give you words, and a wisdom which all your opponents together will be unable to resist or defy.

¹⁶ You will be betrayed even by your parents and brothers and sisters and sisters and relatives and friends, and they will cause some of you to be put to death,

¹⁷ and you will be hated by everyone because of me my name.

¹⁸ Yet not a single hair of your heads will be lost!

¹⁹ By your endurance you will win yourselves life.

²⁷ Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”

²⁹ He told them a parable. “See the fig tree, and all the trees.

²⁴ And they shall fall on the edge of the swearde and shalbe leed captive into all nacions. And Ierusalem shalbe trooden vnder fote of the gentyls vntyll the tyme of the gentyls be fulfilled.

²⁵ And ther shalbe signes in the sunne ad in the mone and in the starres: and in the erth the people shalbe in soche perplexite that they shall not tell which waye to turne them selves. The see and the waters shall roore
