路加福音 21
穷寡妇的奉献
1 耶稣抬头观看，见有钱人在把捐项投进奉献箱里，2 又见一个穷寡妇投进两个小铜钱，3 就说：“我实在告诉你们，这位穷寡妇奉献的比其他人都多。4 因为他们不过奉献了自己剩余的，但这穷寡妇却奉献了她赖以为生的一切。”
预言将来的事
5 有些人正在谈论由精美的石头和珍贵的供物所装饰的圣殿，6 耶稣说：“你们现在所见到的，将来有一天要被完全拆毁，找不到两块叠在一起的石头。”7 他们问：“老师，这些事什么时候会发生呢？发生的时候有什么预兆呢？”8 耶稣回答说：“你们要小心提防，不要被迷惑。因为将来会有许多人冒我的名来，说，‘我就是基督’，或说，‘时候到了’，你们切勿跟从他们。9 你们听见打仗和叛乱的事，不要害怕，因为这些事一定会先发生，但末日将不会立刻来临。”
10 耶稣接着说：“民族将与民族互斗，国家将与国家相争，11 将有大地震，各处将有饥荒和瘟疫，天上也将出现恐怖的景象和大异兆。
12 “这些事情出现之前，人们要拘捕你们，迫害你们，把你们押到会堂和监牢，你们将为了我的名而被君王和官长审问。13 那时，正是你们为我做见证的好机会。14 你们要立定心志，不要为怎样申辩而忧虑，15 因为我会赐给你们口才、智慧，使你们的仇敌全无反驳的余地。16 你们将被父母、弟兄、亲戚、朋友出卖，你们有些人会被他们害死。17 你们将为我的名而被众人憎恨，18 但你们连一根头发也不会失落。19 你们只要坚忍到底，必能保全自己的灵魂。
20 “你们看见耶路撒冷被重兵包围时，就知道它被毁灭的日子快到了。21 那时，住在犹太地区的人要赶快逃到山上去，住在城里的人要跑到城外，住在乡村的人不要进城，22 因为那是报应的日子，要应验圣经的全部记载。23 那时，孕妇和哺育婴儿的母亲们可就遭殃了！因为将有大灾难降在这地方，烈怒要临到这些人民。24 他们要死在刀剑之下，要被掳到外国去。耶路撒冷要被外族人蹂躏，直到外族人肆虐的日期满了为止。
25 “日月星辰必显出异兆，怒海汹涌、波涛翻腾，令各国惊恐不安。26 宇宙必震动，人类想到世界要面临的厄运都吓得魂不附体。27 那时，他们要看见人子驾着云、带着能力和极大的荣耀降临。28 当这些事发生时，你们要昂首挺胸，因为你们蒙救赎的日子近了。”
警醒祷告
29 耶稣又讲了一个比喻：“看看无花果树和其他树木吧。30 当你们看见树木发芽长叶时，就知道夏天近了。31 同样，当你们看见这些事情发生时，就知道上帝的国近了。
32 “我实在告诉你们，这个世代还没有过去，这一切都要发生。33 天地都要消逝，但我的话永不消逝。
34 “你们要小心，不要被宴乐、醉酒和人生的挂虑所拖累，免得那日子像网罗般突然临到你们，35 因为那日子将要这样临到世上每一个人。36 你们要时刻警醒，常常祷告，使你们能逃过这一切将要发生的灾难，并能站在人子面前。”37 耶稣每天在圣殿里讲道，晚上则到城外的橄榄山上过夜。38 百姓一早都赶去圣殿听祂的教导。
Luke 21
The Widow’s Offering
1 Jesust looked upt and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box.tss2 He also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.s3 Het said, “I tell you the truth,t this poor widow has put in more than all of them.s
4 For they all offered their gifts out of their wealth.t But she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had to live on.”t
The Signs of the End of the Age
5 Nowt while some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorneds with beautiful stones and offerings,t Jesust said,6 “As for these things that you are gazing at, the days will come when not one stone will be left on another.s All will be torn down!”t7 Sot they asked him,t “Teacher, when will these thingss happen? And what will be the sign thatt these things are about to take place?”8 Het said, “Watch outt that you are not misled. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’t and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them!
9 And when you hear of wars and rebellions,t do not be afraid.t For these things must happen first, but the end will not come at once.”s
Persecution of Disciples
10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise up in armst against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.11 There will be great earthquakes, and faminess and plagues in various places, and there will be terrifying sightst and great signss from heaven.12 But before all this,s they will seizet you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagoguess and prisons. Yout will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.13 This will be a time for you to serve as witnesses.t14 Therefore be resolvedt not to rehearset ahead of time how to make your defense.15 For I will give you the wordst along with the wisdomt that none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.16 You will be betrayed even by parents,s brothers, relatives,t and friends, and they will have some of you put to death.17 You will be hated by everyone because of my name.s18 Yett not a hair of your head will perish.s
19 By your endurances you will gains your lives.t
The Desolation of Jerusalem
20 “But when you see Jerusalems surroundeds by armies, then know that itst desolations has come near.21 Then those who are in Judea must flees to the mountains. Thoset who are inside the city must depart. Thoset who are out in the country must not enter it,22 because these are days of vengeance,t to fulfillt all that is written.23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! For there will be great distresss on the earth and wrath against this people.
24 Theyt will fall by the edget of the sword and be led away as captivess among all nations. Jerusalemt will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.s
The Arrival of the Son of Man
25 “And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars,s and on the earth nations will be in distress,t anxioust over the roaring of the sea and the surging waves.26 People will be fainting from feart and from the expectation of what is coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.s27 Thent they will see the Son of Manarriving in a clouds with power and great glory.
28 But when these thingss begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemptions is drawing near.”
The Parable of the Fig Tree
29 Thent he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees.t30 When they sprout leaves, you seet for yourselves and know that summer is now near.31 So also you, when you see these things happening, knowt that the kingdom of Gods is near.32 I tell you the truth,t this generations will not pass away until all these things take place.
33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.s
Be Ready!
34 “But be on your guardts so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day close down upon you suddenly like a trap.s35 Fort it will overtaket all who live on the face of the whole earth.s
36 But stay alert at all times,s praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that mustt happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 Sot every day Jesust was teaching in the temple courts,t but at night he went and stayedt on the Mount of Olives.ts
38 And all the peoples came to him early in the morning to listen to him in the temple courts.st
