Luke Chapter 21 Verse 8And 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.›

Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

‹Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;›

‹Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.›

And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

And he said, ‹Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:›

‹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.›

And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

[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.›

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?

‹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.›

Then said he unto them, ‹Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:›

‹And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.›

‹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 name's sake.›

‹And it shall turn to you for a testimony.›

‹Settle› [it] ‹therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:›

‹For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.›

‹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.›

‹And ye shall be hated of all› [men] ‹for my name's sake.›

‹But there shall not an hair of your head perish.›
