Luke 21:29-22:13

English Standard Version

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

²⁹And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. ³⁰As soon as they come out in leaf, you see ^(A)for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. ³¹So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. ³²^(B)Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place. ³³^(C)Heaven and earth will pass away, but ^(D)my words will not pass away.

Watch Yourselves

³⁴“But watch yourselves ^(E)lest ^(F)your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and ^(G)cares of this life, and ^(H)that day come upon you suddenly ^(I)like a trap. ³⁵For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. ³⁶But ^(J)stay awake at all times, ^(K)praying that you may ^(L)have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and ^(M)to stand before the Son of Man.”

³⁷And ^(N)every day he was teaching in the temple, but ^(O)at night he went out and lodged on ^(P)the mount called Olivet. ³⁸And early in the morning ^(Q)all the people came to him in the temple to hear him.

The Plot to Kill Jesus

22 ^(R)Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called ^(S)the Passover. ²And the chief priests and the scribes ^(T)were seeking how to put him to death, for they feared the people.

Judas to Betray Jesus

³^(U)Then ^(V)Satan entered into ^(W)Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve. ⁴He went away and conferred with the chief priests and ^(X)officers how he might betray him to them. ⁵And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. ⁶So he consented and sought an opportunity to ^(Y)betray him to them in the absence of a crowd.

The Passover with the Disciples

⁷^(Z)Then came ^(AA)the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. ⁸So Jesus^[a] sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.” ⁹They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it?” ¹⁰He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters ¹¹and tell the master of the house, ^(AB)‘The Teacher says to you, Where is ^(AC)the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ ¹²And he will show you ^(AD)a large upper room furnished; prepare it there.” ¹³And they went and found it ^(AE)just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

From Everlasting to Everlasting

A ^(A)Prayer of Moses, the ^(B)man of God.

90 Lord, you have been our ^(C)dwelling place^[a]
    in all generations.
²^(D)Before the ^(E)mountains were brought forth,
    or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
    ^(F)from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

³You return man to dust
    and say, ^(G)“Return, ^(H)O children of man!”^[b]
⁴For ^(I)a thousand years in your sight
    are but as ^(J)yesterday when it is past,
    or as ^(K)a watch in the night.

⁵You ^(L)sweep them away as with a flood; they are like ^(M)a dream,
like ^(N)grass that is renewed in the morning:
⁶in ^(O)the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it ^(P)fades and ^(Q)withers.

⁷For we are brought to an end by your anger;
by your wrath we are dismayed.
⁸You have ^(R)set our iniquities before you,
our ^(S)secret sins in the light of your presence.

⁹For all our days pass away under your wrath;
    we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
¹⁰The years of our life are seventy,
    or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span^[c] is but toil and trouble;
    they are soon gone, and we fly away.
¹¹Who considers the power of your anger,
    and your wrath according to the fear of you?

¹²^(T)So teach us to number our days
    that we may get a heart of wisdom.
¹³^(U)Return, O Lord! ^(V)How long?
    Have ^(W)pity on your servants!
¹⁴Satisfy us in the ^(X)morning with your steadfast love,
    that we may ^(Y)rejoice and be glad all our days.
¹⁵Make us glad for as many days as you have ^(Z)afflicted us,
    and for as many years as we have seen evil.
¹⁶Let your ^(AA)work be shown to your servants,
    and your glorious power to their children.
¹⁷Let the ^(AB)favor^[d] of the Lord our God be upon us,
    and establish ^(AC)the work of our hands upon us;
    yes, establish the work of our hands!

My Refuge and My Fortress

91 He who dwells in ^(AD)the shelter of the Most High
will abide in ^(AE)the shadow of the Almighty.
²I will say^[e] to the Lord, “My ^(AF)refuge and my ^(AG)fortress,
my God, in whom I ^(AH)trust.”

³For he will deliver you from ^(AI)the snare of the fowler
    and from the deadly pestilence.
⁴He will ^(AJ)cover you with his pinions,
    and under his ^(AK)wings you will ^(AL)find refuge;
    his ^(AM)faithfulness is ^(AN)a shield and buckler.
⁵^(AO)You will not fear ^(AP)the terror of the night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
⁶nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
    nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

⁷A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
⁸You will only look with your eyes
    and ^(AQ)see the recompense of the wicked.

⁹Because you have made the Lord your ^(AR)dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my ^(AS)refuge^[f]—
¹⁰^(AT)no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
^(AU)no plague come near your tent.

¹¹^(AV)For he will command his ^(AW)angels concerning you
    to ^(AX)guard you in all your ways.
¹²On their hands they will bear you up,
    lest you ^(AY)strike your foot against a stone.
¹³You will tread on ^(AZ)the lion and the ^(BA)adder;
    the young lion and ^(BB)the serpent you will ^(BC)trample underfoot.

¹⁴“Because he ^(BD)holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
    I will protect him, because he ^(BE)knows my name.
¹⁵When he ^(BF)calls to me, I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble;
    I will rescue him and ^(BG)honor him.
¹⁶With ^(BH)long life I will satisfy him
    and ^(BI)show him my salvation.”
