Luke 21:17-36

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

¹⁸And not a hair of your head shall perish.

¹⁹In your patience ye shall win your souls.

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

²¹Then 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.

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

²³Woe 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.

²⁴And 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.

²⁵And 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;

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

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

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

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

³⁰when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh.

³¹Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh.

³²Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished.

³³Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

³⁴But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:

³⁵for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth.

³⁶But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
