21:1

Αναβλεψας δε ειδεν τους βαλλοντας εις το γαζοφυλακιον τα δωρα αυτων πλουσιους

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

21:2

ειδεν δε τινα χηραν πενιχραν βαλλουσαν εκει λεπτα δυο

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

¹

21:3

Και ειπεν Αληθως λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα αυτη η πτωχη πλειον παντων εβαλεν

And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all:

21:4

παντες γαρ ουτοι εκ του περισσευοντος αυτοις εβαλον εις τα δωρα αυτη δε εκ του υστερηματος αυτης παντα τον βιον ον ειχεν εβαλεν

for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.

21:5

Και τινων λεγοντων περι του ιερου οτι λιθοις καλοις και αναθημασιν κεκοσμηται ειπεν

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

21:6

Ταυτα α θεωρειτε ελευσονται ημεραι εν αις ουκ αφεθησεται λιθος επι λιθω ος ου καταλυθησεται

As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

21:7

Επηρωτησαν δε αυτον λεγοντες Διδασκαλε ποτε ουν ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη ταυτα γινεσθαι

And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are about to come to pass?

21:8

Ο δε ειπεν Βλεπετε μη πλανηθητε πολλοι γαρ ελευσονται επι τω ονοματι μου λεγοντες Εγω ειμι και Ο καιρος ηγγικεν μη πορευθητε οπισω αυτων

And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.

21:9

οταν δε ακουσητε πολεμους και ακαταστασιας μη πτοηθητε δει γαρ ταυτα γενεσθαι πρωτον αλλ ουκ ευθεως το τελος

And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must needs come to pass first; but the end is not immediately.

21:10

Τοτε ελεγεν αυτοις Εγερθησεται εθνος επ εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν

Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;

21:11

σεισμοι τε μεγαλοι και κατα τοπους λιμοι και λοιμοι εσονται φοβητρα τε και απ ουρανου σημεια μεγαλα εσται

and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven.

21:12

Προ δε τουτων παντων επιβαλουσιν εφ υμας τας χειρας αυτων και διωξουσιν παραδιδοντες εις τας συναγωγας και φυλακας απαγομενους επι βασιλεις και ηγεμονας ενεκεν του ονοματος μου

But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.

21:13

αποβησεται υμιν εις μαρτυριον

It shall turn out unto you for a testimony.

21:14

θετε ουν εν ταις καρδιαις υμων μη προμελεταν απολογηθηναι

Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer:

21:15

εγω γαρ δωσω υμιν στομα και σοφιαν η ου δυνησονται αντιστηναι η αντειπειν απαντες οι αντικειμενοι υμιν

for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to gainsay.

21:16

Παραδοθησεσθε δε και υπο γονεων και αδελφων και συγγενων και φιλων και θανατωσουσιν εξ υμων

But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

21:17

και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.

21:18

και θριξ εκ της κεφαλης υμων ου μη αποληται

And not a hair of your head shall perish.

21:19

εν τη υπομονη υμων κτησασθε τας ψυχας υμων

In your patience ye shall win your souls.

21:20

Οταν δε ιδητε κυκλουμενην υπο στρατοπεδων Ιερουσαλημ τοτε γνωτε οτι ηγγικεν η ερημωσις αυτης

But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.

21:21

τοτε οι εν τη Ιουδαια φευγετωσαν εις τα ορη και οι εν μεσω αυτης εκχωρειτωσαν και οι εν ταις χωραις μη εισερχεσθωσαν εις αυτην

Then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein.

21:22

οτι ημεραι εκδικησεως αυται εισιν του πλησθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα

For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

21:23

Ουαι ταις εν γαστρι εχουσαις και ταις θηλαζουσαις εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις εσται γαρ αναγκη μεγαλη επι της γης και οργη τω λαω τουτω

Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.

21:24

και πεσουνται στοματι μαχαιρης και αιχμαλωτισθησονται εις τα εθνη παντα και Ιερουσαλημ εσται πατουμενη υπο εθνων αχρι ου πληρωθωσιν καιροι εθνων

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

21:25

Και εσονται σημεια εν ηλιω και σεληνη και αστροις και επι της γης συνοχη εθνων εν απορια ηχους θαλασσης και σαλου

And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;

21:26

αποψυχοντων ανθρωπων απο φοβου και προσδοκιας των επερχομενων τη οικουμενη αι γαρ δυναμεις των ουρανων σαλευθησονται

men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

21:27

και τοτε οψονται τον Υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν νεφελη μετα δυναμεως και δοξης πολλης

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

21:28

αρχομενων δε τουτων γινεσθαι ανακυψατε και επαρατε τας κεφαλας υμων διοτι εγγιζει η απολυτρωσις υμων

But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.

21:29

Και ειπεν παραβολην αυτοις Ιδετε την συκην και παντα τα δενδρα

And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees:

21:30

οταν προβαλωσιν ηδη βλεποντες αφ εαυτων γινωσκετε οτι ηδη εγγυς το θερος εστιν

when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh.

21:31

ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε ταυτα γινομενα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν η βασιλεια του Θεου

Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh.

21:32

αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εως αν παντα γενηται

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished.

21:33

ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσονται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελευσονται

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

21:34

Προσεχετε δε εαυτοις μηποτε βαρηθωσιν υμων αι καρδιαι εν κραιπαλη και μεθη και μεριμναις βιωτικαις και επιστη εφ υμας αιφνιδιος η ημερα εκεινη

But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:

21:35

ως παγις επεισελευσεται γαρ επι παντας τους καθημενους επι προσωπον πασης της γης

for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth.

21:36

αγρυπνειτε δε εν παντι καιρω δεομενοι ινα κατισχυσητε εκφυγειν ταυτα παντα τα μελλοντα γινεσθαι και σταθηναι εμπροσθεν του Υιου του ανθρωπου

But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

21:37

Ην δε τας ημερας εν τω ιερω διδασκων τας δε νυκτας εξερχομενος ηυλιζετο εις το ορος το καλουμενον Ελαιων

And every day he was teaching in the temple; and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called Olivet.

21:38

και πας ο λαος ωρθριζεν προς αυτον εν τω ιερω ακουειν αυτου

And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.
