Luke 21:23-38 ▼

23 But wo vnto them that are with childe, and to them that geue sucke in those dayes: for there shalbe greate trouble vpon earth, and wrath ouer this people,

24 and they shal fall thorow the edge of the swerde, and be led captyue amoge all nacions. And Ierusale shalbe troden downe of the Heithen, vntyll the tyme of the Heithen be fulfilled.

25 And there shalbe tokens in the Sonne and Mone, and starres, and vpon earth the people shalbe in soch perplexite, that they shal not tell which waye to turne them selues. And the see and the waters shal roare,

26 and men shal pyne awaye for feare, and for lokynge after the thinges which shal come vpo earth. For euen the very powers of heauen shal moue.

27 And then shal they se the sonne of man commynge in the cloude with power and greate glory.

28 But whan these thinges begynne to come to passe, the loke vp, and lift vpp youre heades, for youre redempcion draweth nye.

29 And he tolde them a symilitude: Beholde the fygge tre, and all tre trees,

30 wha they now shute forth their buddes, ye se by them, and perceaue, that Sommer is now at hande.

31 So likewyse ye, whan ye se all these thinges come to passe, be sure that the kyngdome of God is nye.

32 Verely I saye vnto you: This generacio shal not passe, tyll all be fulfilled.

33 Heauen and earth shal passe, but my wordes shal not passe.

34 But take hede vnto youre selues, that yor hertes be not ouerlade with excesse of eatinge and with dronkennes, and with takinge of thought for lyuynge, and so this daye come vpo you vnawares.

35 For as a snare shal it come on all them that dwell vpon earth.

36 Watch therfore cotynually, and praye, that ye maye be worthy to escape all this that shal come, & to stode before ye sonne of man.

37 And on the daye tyme he taught in the temple, but in the night season he wente out and abode all night vpon mount Oliuete.

38 And all the people gat them vp early vnto him in the temple, for to heare him.
