1 And
he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2 And
he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3 And
he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow
hath cast in more than they all: 4 For
all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of
her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
5 And
as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he
said, 6 As for
these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not
be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 7 And
they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will
there be when these things shall come to pass? 8 And he said, Take
heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;
and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 9 But
when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things
must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
10 Then
said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom: 11 And great
earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful
sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. 12 But
before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you,
delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought
before kings and rulers for my names sake. 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 names 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 Judaea 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 Mens
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; 30 When they now shoot forth,
ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 31 So
likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of
God is nigh at hand. 32 Verily I say unto
you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 33 Heaven
and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 34 And
take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with
surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come
upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare
shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch
ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all
these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he
went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. 38 And
all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him. Return to Bible Online Calvinist Corner
