Luke 21:2-19 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

2. and He saw a certain poor widow putting in two mites.

3. And He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all.

4. “For all these out of their excess have put in offerings for Elohim, but she out of her poverty has put in all that she had to live on.”

5. And as some were speaking about the Set-apart Place, that it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, He said,

6. “These that you see – the days are coming in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.”

7. And they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when shall this be? And what is the sign when this is about to take place?”

8. And He said, “See that you are not led astray, for many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Then do not go after them.

9. “But when you hear of fightings and unrests, do not be alarmed, for these have to take place first, but the end is not immediately.”

10. Then He said to them, “Nation shall rise against nation, and reign against reign.

11. “And there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and scarcities of food and deadly diseases. And there shall be horrors, and great signs from heaven.

15. “For I shall give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries shall not be able to refute or resist.

16. “And you shall also be betrayed by parents and brothers and relatives and friends. And some of you shall be put to death.

17. “And you shall be hated by all because of My Name.

18. “But not a hair of your head shall be lost at all.

19. “Possess your lives by your endurance!
