穷寡妇的奉献(A)

21 耶稣抬眼看见有钱的人把奉献投入奉献箱。 他又看见一个穷寡妇,投入两个小钱, 就说:“我实在告诉你们,这个穷寡妇所投的,比众人投的更多。 因为这些人都是把自己剩余的投进去作奉献,这寡妇是自己不足,却把所有养生的都投进去了。”

预言圣殿被毁(B)

有人在谈论圣殿,是用美丽的石头和供物装饰的。耶稣说: “你们看见的这些,到了日子,必没有一块石头留在另一块石头上面,每一块都要拆下来。”

这世代终结的预兆(C)

那些人问他:“老师,甚么时候会有这些事呢?这些事要发生的时候,有甚么预兆呢?” 他说:“你们要小心,不要被人迷惑。因为有许多人要来,假冒我的名说:‘我就是基督’,又说:‘时候近了。’你们不要跟从这些人。 你们要听见战乱和暴动,但不要惊慌,因为这些事是必先发生的,不过结局却不会立刻就到。” 10 过了一会儿,耶稣又对他们说:“一个民族要起来攻打另一个民族,一个国家要起来攻打另一个国家。 11 必有大地震,到处有饥荒和瘟疫,天上必有又恐怖又巨大的预兆。 12 但在这一切以先,人必为我的名,下手拘捕、迫害你们,把你们交给会堂,下在监里,甚至押到君王和总督面前, 13 结果却成了你们见证的机会。 14 所以,你们应当心里镇定,用不着预先思虑怎样申辩。 15 因为我必赐给你们口才、智慧,是你们所有的敌人不能抵抗,也不能驳倒的。 16 你们也会被父母、弟兄、亲戚、朋友出卖,他们又要害死你们一些人。 17 你们要因我的名,被众人恨恶, 18 然而连你们的一根头发,也必不失落。 19 你们要以坚忍的心志,赢取自己的灵魂。

预言耶路撒冷被毁(D)

20 “当你们看见耶路撒冷被军队围困的时候,就知道它荒凉的日子近了。 21 那时,住在犹太的,应该逃到山上;住在城里的,要离开;住在乡下的,不要进城。 22 因为这是报仇的日子,使经上的一切话都得应验。 23 当那些日子,怀孕的和乳养孩子的有祸了!因为大灾难要临到这地,烈怒要临到这民。 24 他们将倒在刀下,被掳到各国,耶路撒冷必被外族人践踏,直到外族人的日期满足。

人子必驾云降临(E)

25 “日月星辰将有异兆;在地上,各国也要因着海洋波涛的咆哮而困苦不安。 26 天上的万象震动,人因为等待即将临到世界的事,都吓昏了。 27 那时,他们要看见人子,带着能力,满有荣耀,驾着云降临。 28 一有这些事,你们就当挺身昂首,因为你们的救赎近了。”

29 耶稣又给他们讲了一个比喻:“你们看看无花果树和各样的树。 30 它们甚么时候发芽,你们看见了,就知道夏天近了。 31 同样,你们甚么时候看见这些事发生,也应该知道 神的国近了。 32 我实在告诉你们,这一切都必定发生,然后这世代才会过去。 33 天地都过去,但我的话决不会废去。

警醒祈求

34 “你们应当自己小心,免得在贪食醉酒和生活的挂虑压住你们的心的时候,那日子突然临到你们, 35 正如网罗临到全地的所有居民。 36 你们要时刻警醒,常常祈求,好让你们能逃避这一切要发生的事,可以站在人子面前。”

37 耶稣白天在殿里教导人,晚上就到橄榄山上去过夜。 38 群众清早起来上圣殿,到他那里要听他讲道。

تقدمة الأرملة

21 وَتَطَلَّعَ فَرَأَى الأَغْنِيَاءَ يُلْقُونَ تَقْدِمَاتِهِمْ فِي صُنْدُوقِ الْهَيْكَلِ. وَرَأَى أَيْضاً أَرْمَلَةً فَقِيرَةً تُلْقِي فِيهِ فَلْسَيْنِ. فَقَالَ: «الحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ هذِهِ الأَرْمَلَةَ الْفَقِيرَةَ قَدْ أَلْقَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ جَمِيعاً. لأَنَّ هَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعاً قَدْ أَلْقَوْا فِي التَّقْدِمَاتِ مِنَ الْفَائِضِ عَنْهُمْ. وَأَمَّا هِيَ، فَمِنْ حَاجَتِهَا أَلْقَتْ كُلَّ مَا تَمْلِكُهُ لِمَعِيشَتِهَا!»

علامات نهاية الأيام

وَإِذْ تَحَدَّثَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنِ الْهَيْكَلِ بِأَنَّهُ مُزَيَّنٌ بِالْحِجَارَةِ الْجَمِيلَةِ وَتُحَفِ النُّذُورِ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذَا الَّذِي تَرَوْنَهُ، سَتَأْتِي أَيَّامٌ لَا يَبْقَى فِيهَا حَجَرٌ مِنْهُ فَوْقَ حَجَرٍ إِلّا وَيُهْدَمُ». فَسَأَلُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَتَى يَحْدُثُ هَذَا؟ وَمَا هِيَ الْعَلامَةُ الَّتِي تَظْهَرُ حِينَ يَقْتَرِبُ وُقُوعُهُ؟» فَقَالَ: «انْتَبِهُوا! لَا تَضِلُّوا! فَإِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيَأْتُونَ بِاسْمِي قَائِلِينَ إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ وَإِنَّ الزَّمَانَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ: فَلا تَتْبَعُوهُمْ! وَعِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُونَ بِالْحُرُوبِ وَالاِضْطِرَابَاتِ، فَلا تَرْتَعِبُوا، لأَنَّ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ لابُدَّ مِنْ حُدُوثِهَا أَوَّلاً، وَلكِنَّ النِّهَايَةَ لَا تَأْتِي حَالاً بَعْدَهَا!»

10 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «سَتَنْقَلِبُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ وَمَمْلَكَةٌ عَلَى مَمْلَكَةٍ، 11 وَتَحْدُثُ فِي عِدَّةِ أَمَاكِنَ زَلازِلُ شَدِيدَةٌ وَمَجَاعَاتٌ وَأَوْبِئَةٌ، وَتَظْهَرُ عَلامَاتٌ مُخِيفَةٌ وَآيَاتٌ عَظِيمَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ. 12 وَلكِنْ قَبْلَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا يَمُدُّ النَّاسُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَيْكُمْ وَيَضْطَهِدُونَكُمْ، فَيُسَلِّمُونَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَجَامِعِ وَالسُّجُونِ، وَيَسُوقُونَكُمْ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ الْمُلُوكِ وَالْحُكَّامِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي. 13 وَلكِنَّ ذلِكَ سَيُتِيحُ لَكُمْ فُرْصَةً لِلشَّهَادَةِ. 14 فَضَعُوا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ أَلّا تُعِدُّوا دِفَاعَكُمْ مُسْبَقاً، 15 لأَنِّي سَوْفَ أُعْطِيكُمْ كَلاماً وَحِكْمَةً لَا يَقْدِرُ جَمِيعُ مُقَاوِمِيكُمْ أَنْ يَرُدُّوهَا أَوْ يُنَاقِضُوهَا. 16 وَسَوْفَ يُسَلِّمُكُمْ حَتَّى الْوَالِدُونَ وَالإِخْوَةُ وَالأَقْرِبَاءُ وَالأَصْدِقَاءُ، وَيَقْتُلُونَ بَعْضاً مِنْكُمْ، 17 وَتَكُونُونَ مَكْرُوهِينَ لَدَى الْجَمِيعِ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي. 18 وَلكِنَّ شَعْرَةً مِنْ رُؤُوسِكُمْ لَا تَهْلِكُ الْبَتَّةَ. 19 فَبِاحْتِمَالِكُمْ تَرْبَحُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ!

20 وَعِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مُحَاصَرَةً بِالْجُيُوشِ، فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ خَرَابَهَا قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ. 21 عِنْدَئِذٍ، لِيَهْرُبِ الَّذِينَ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى الْجِبَالِ، وَلْيَرْحَلْ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ مَنْ هُمْ فِيهَا، وَلا يَدْخُلْهَا مَنْ هُمْ فِي الأَرْيَافِ: 22 فَإِنَّ هذِهِ الأَيَّامَ أَيَّامُ انْتِقَامٍ يَتِمُّ فِيهَا كُلُّ مَا قَدْ كُتِبَ. 23 وَلكِنَّ الْوَيْلُ لِلْحَبَالَى وَالْمُرْضِعَاتِ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، لأَنَّ ضِيقَةً عَظِيمَةً سَوْفَ تَقَعُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَغَضَباً شَدِيداً سَيَنْزِلُ بِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ، 24 فَيَسْقُطُونَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ وَيُسَاقُونَ أَسْرَى إِلَى جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ، وَتَبْقَى أُورُشَلِيمُ تَدُوسُهَا الأُمَمُ إِلَى أَنْ تَكْتَمِلَ أَزْمِنَةُ الأُمَمِ.

25 وَسَتَظْهَرُ عَلامَاتٌ فِي الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ وَالنُّجُومِ، وَتَكُونُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ ضِيقَةٌ عَلَى الأُمَمِ الْوَاقِعَةِ فِي حَيْرَةٍ، لأَنَّ الْبَحْرَ وَالأَمْوَاجَ تَعِجُّ وَتَجِيشُ، 26 وَيُغْمَى عَلَى النَّاسِ مِنَ الرُّعْبِ وَمِنْ تَوَقُّعِ مَا سَوْفَ يَجْتَاحُ الْمَسْكُونَةَ، إِذْ تَتَزَعْزَعُ أَجْرَامُ السَّمَاوَاتِ. 27 عِنْدَئِذٍ يَرَوْنَ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ آتِياً فِي السَّحَابِ بِقُوَّةٍ وَمَجْدٍ عَظِيمٍ. 28 وَلكِنْ عِنْدَمَا تَبْدَأُ هذِهِ الأُمُورُ تَحْدُثُ، فَانْتَصِبُوا وَارْفَعُوا رُؤُوسَكُمْ لأَنَّ فِدَاءَكُمْ يَقْتَرِبُ». 29 وَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَثَلاً: «انْظُرُوا إِلَى التِّينَةِ وَبَاقِي الأَشْجَارِ! 30 عِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَهَا قَدْ أَوْرَقَتْ تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَنَّ الصَّيْفَ بَاتَ قَرِيباً. 31 فَهكَذَا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً، عِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ حَادِثَةً، فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ بَاتَ قَرِيباً. 32 الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا يَزُولُ هَذَا الْجِيلُ أَبَداً حَتَّى تَحْدُثَ هذِهِ كُلُّهَا. 33 إِنَّ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ تَزُولانِ، وَلكِنَّ كَلامِي لَا يَزُولُ أَبَداً.

34 وَلكِنْ احْذَرُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ لِئَلّا تَتَثَقَّلَ قُلُوبُكُمْ بِالاِنْغِمَاسِ فِي اللَّذَّاتِ وَبِالسُّكْرِ وَهُمُومِ الْحَيَاةِ، فَيَدْهَمَكُمْ ذلِكَ الْيَوْمُ فَجْأَةً؛ 35 فَإِنَّهُ سَوْفَ يُطْبِقُ كَالْفَخِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ السَّاكِنِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. 36 فَاسْهَرُوا إِذَنْ وَتَضَرَّعُوا فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، لِكَيْ تَتَمَكَّنُوا مِنْ أَنْ تَنْجُوا مِنْ جَمِيعِ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي هِيَ عَلَى وَشْكِ أَنْ تَحْدُثَ، وَتَقِفُوا أَمَامَ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ».

37 وَكَانَ فِي النَّهَارِ يُعَلِّمُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ، وَفِي اللَّيْلِ يَخْرُجُ وَيَبِيتُ فِي الْجَبَلِ الْمَعْرُوفِ بِجَبَلِ الزَّيْتُونِ. 38 وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ يُبَكِّرُونَ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ لِيَسْتَمِعُوا إِلَيْهِ.

True Giving

21 Jesus saw some rich people putting their gifts into the Temple money box.[a] Then Jesus saw a poor widow. She put two small copper coins into the box. He said, “I tell you the truth. This poor widow gave only two small coins. But she really gave more than all those rich people. The rich have plenty; they gave only what they did not need. This woman is very poor, but she gave all she had. And she needed that money to live on.”

The Temple Will Be Destroyed

Some of the followers were talking about the Temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts offered to God.

But Jesus said, “The time will come when all that you see here will be destroyed. Every stone will be thrown down to the ground. Not one stone will be left on another!”

Some followers asked Jesus, “Teacher, when will these things happen? What will show us that it is time for them to take place?”

Jesus said, “Be careful! Don’t be fooled. Many people will come using my name. They will say, ‘I am the Christ’ and, ‘The right time has come!’ But don’t follow them. When you hear about wars and riots, don’t be afraid. These things must happen first. Then the end will come later.”

10 Then he said to them, “Nations will fight against other nations. Kingdoms will fight against other kingdoms. 11 There will be great earthquakes, sicknesses, and other terrible things in many places. In some places there will be no food for the people to eat. Fearful events and great signs will come from heaven.

12 “But before all these things happen, people will arrest you and treat you cruelly. They will judge you in their synagogues and put you in jail. You will be forced to stand before kings and governors. They will do all these things to you because you follow me. 13 But this will give you an opportunity to tell about me. 14 Don’t worry about what you will say. 15 I will give you the wisdom to say things so that none of your enemies will be able to show that you are wrong. 16 Even your parents, brothers, relatives and friends will turn against you. They will kill some of you. 17 All people will hate you because you follow me. 18 But none of these things can really harm you. 19 You will save yourselves by continuing strong in your faith through all these things.

Jerusalem Will Be Destroyed

20 “When you see armies all around Jerusalem, then you will know that it will soon be destroyed. 21 At that time, the people in Judea should run away to the mountains. The people in Jerusalem must get out. If you are near the city, don’t go in! 22 These are the days of punishment to make come true all that is written in the Scriptures. 23 At that time, it will be hard for women who are pregnant or have nursing babies! Great trouble will come upon this land, and God will be angry with these people. 24 Some will be killed by the sword and taken as prisoners to all nations. Jerusalem will be crushed by non-Jewish people until their time is over.

Don’t Fear

25 “Amazing things will happen to the sun, moon, and stars. On earth, nations will be afraid because of the roar and fury of the sea. They will not know what to do. 26 People will be so afraid they will faint. They will wonder what is happening to the whole world. Everything in the sky will be changed. 27 Then people will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to happen, don’t fear. Look up and hold your heads high because the time when God will free you is near!”

My Words Will Live Forever

29 Then Jesus told this story: “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees. 30 When their leaves appear, you know that summer is near. 31 In the same way, when you see all these things happening, then you will know that God’s kingdom is coming very soon.

32 “I tell you the truth. All these things will happen while the people of this time are still living! 33 The whole world, earth and sky, will be destroyed; but the words I have said will never be destroyed!

Be Ready All the Time

34 “Be careful! Don’t spend your time feasting and drinking. Or don’t be too busy with worldly things. If you do that, you will not be able to think straight. And then that day might come when you are not ready. 35 It will close like a trap on all people on earth. 36 So be ready all the time. Pray that you will be strong enough to escape all these things that will happen. And pray that you will be able to stand before the Son of Man.”

37 During the day, Jesus taught the people in the Temple. At night he went out of the city and stayed on the Mount of Olives. 38 Every morning all the people got up early to go to the Temple to listen to him.
