21:20 “But when you see Jerusalem 18 surrounded 19 by armies, then know that its 20 desolation 21 has come near. 21:21 Then those who are in Judea must flee 22 to the mountains. Those 23 who are inside the city must depart. Those 24 who are out in the country must not enter it, 21:22 because these are days of vengeance, 25 to fulfill 26 all that is written. 21:23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! For there will be great distress 27 on the earth and wrath against this people. 21:24 They 28 will fall by the edge 29 of the sword and be led away as captives 30 among all nations. Jerusalem 31 will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. 32
21:25 “And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, 33 and on the earth nations will be in distress, 34 anxious 35 over the roaring of the sea and the surging waves. 21:26 People will be fainting from fear 36 and from the expectation of what is coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 37 21:27 Then 38 they will see the Son of Man arriving in a cloud 39 with power and great glory. 21:28 But when these things 40 begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption 41 is drawing near.”
21:29 Then 42 he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees. 43 21:30 When they sprout leaves, you see 44 for yourselves and know that summer is now near. 21:31 So also you, when you see these things happening, know 45 that the kingdom of God 46 is near. 21:32 I tell you the truth, 47 this generation 48 will not pass away until all these things take place. 21:33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. 49
21:34 “But be on your guard 50 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. 51 21:35 For 52 it will overtake 53 all who live on the face of the whole earth. 54 21:36 But stay alert at all times, 55 praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that must 56 happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
21:37 So 57 every day Jesus 58 was teaching in the temple courts, 59 but at night he went and stayed 60 on the Mount of Olives. 61 21:38 And all the people 62 came to him early in the morning to listen to him in the temple courts. 63
