路加福音 21
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
窮寡婦的奉獻(A)
21 耶穌抬眼看見有錢的人把奉獻投入奉獻箱。 2 他又看見一個窮寡婦，投入兩個小錢， 3 就說：“我實在告訴你們，這個窮寡婦所投的，比眾人投的更多。 4 因為這些人都是把自己剩餘的投進去作奉獻，這寡婦是自己不足，卻把所有養生的都投進去了。”
預言聖殿被毀(B)
5 有人在談論聖殿，是用美麗的石頭和供物裝飾的。耶穌說： 6 “你們看見的這些，到了日子，必沒有一塊石頭留在另一塊石頭上面，每一塊都要拆下來。”
這世代終結的預兆(C)
7 那些人問他：“老師，甚麼時候會有這些事呢？這些事要發生的時候，有甚麼預兆呢？” 8 他說：“你們要小心，不要被人迷惑。因為有許多人要來，假冒我的名說：‘我就是基督’，又說：‘時候近了。’你們不要跟從這些人。 9 你們要聽見戰亂和暴動，但不要驚慌，因為這些事是必先發生的，不過結局卻不會立刻就到。” 10 過了一會兒，耶穌又對他們說：“一個民族要起來攻打另一個民族，一個國家要起來攻打另一個國家。 11 必有大地震，到處有饑荒和瘟疫，天上必有又恐怖又巨大的預兆。 12 但在這一切以先，人必為我的名，下手拘捕、迫害你們，把你們交給會堂，下在監裡，甚至押到君王和總督面前， 13 結果卻成了你們見證的機會。 14 所以，你們應當心裡鎮定，用不著預先思慮怎樣申辯。 15 因為我必賜給你們口才、智慧，是你們所有的敵人不能抵抗，也不能駁倒的。 16 你們也會被父母、弟兄、親戚、朋友出賣，他們又要害死你們一些人。 17 你們要因我的名，被眾人恨惡， 18 然而連你們的一根頭髮，也必不失落。 19 你們要以堅忍的心志，贏取自己的靈魂。
預言耶路撒冷被毀(D)
20 “當你們看見耶路撒冷被軍隊圍困的時候，就知道它荒涼的日子近了。 21 那時，住在猶太的，應該逃到山上；住在城裡的，要離開；住在鄉下的，不要進城。 22 因為這是報仇的日子，使經上的一切話都得應驗。 23 當那些日子，懷孕的和乳養孩子的有禍了！因為大災難要臨到這地，烈怒要臨到這民。 24 他們將倒在刀下，被擄到各國，耶路撒冷必被外族人踐踏，直到外族人的日期滿足。
人子必駕雲降臨(E)
25 “日月星辰將有異兆；在地上，各國也要因著海洋波濤的咆哮而困苦不安。 26 天上的萬象震動，人因為等待即將臨到世界的事，都嚇昏了。 27 那時，他們要看見人子，帶著能力，滿有榮耀，駕著雲降臨。 28 一有這些事，你們就當挺身昂首，因為你們的救贖近了。”
29 耶穌又給他們講了一個比喻：“你們看看無花果樹和各樣的樹。 30 它們甚麼時候發芽，你們看見了，就知道夏天近了。 31 同樣，你們甚麼時候看見這些事發生，也應該知道 神的國近了。 32 我實在告訴你們，這一切都必定發生，然後這世代才會過去。 33 天地都過去，但我的話決不會廢去。
警醒祈求
34 “你們應當自己小心，免得在貪食醉酒和生活的掛慮壓住你們的心的時候，那日子突然臨到你們， 35 正如網羅臨到全地的所有居民。 36 你們要時刻警醒，常常祈求，好讓你們能逃避這一切要發生的事，可以站在人子面前。”
37 耶穌白天在殿裡教導人，晚上就到橄欖山上去過夜。 38 群眾清早起來上聖殿，到他那裡要聽他講道。
Luke 21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Widow’s Gift
21 He(A) looked up and saw the rich dropping their offerings into the temple treasury.(B) 2 He also saw a poor widow dropping in two tiny coins.[a](C) 3 “I tell you the truth,” He said. “This poor widow has put in more than all of them.(D) 4 For all these people have put in gifts out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
Destruction of the Temple Predicted
5 As(E) some were talking about the temple complex, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God,[b] He said, 6 “These things that you see—the days will come(F) when not one stone will be left on another that will not be thrown down!”(G)
Signs of the End of the Age
7 “Teacher,” they asked Him, “so when will these things be? And what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?”(H)
8 Then He said, “Watch out that you are not deceived.(I) For many will come in My name,(J) saying, ‘I am He,’(K) and, ‘The time is near.’ Don’t follow them.(L) 9 When you hear of wars and rebellions,[c] don’t be alarmed. Indeed, these things must take place first, but the end won’t come right away.”
10 Then He told them: “Nation will be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.(M) 11 There will be violent earthquakes,(N) and famines and plagues(O) in various places, and there will be terrifying sights and great signs from heaven.(P) 12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you(Q) and persecute(R) you. They will hand you over to the synagogues(S) and prisons,(T) and you will be brought before kings and governors(U) because of My name. 13 It will lead to an opportunity for you to witness.[d](V) 14 Therefore make up your minds[e] not to prepare your defense ahead of time,(W) 15 for I will give you such words[f](X) and a wisdom(Y) that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.(Z) 16 You will even be betrayed by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends.(AA) They will kill some of you. 17 You will be hated by everyone because of My name,(AB) 18 but not a hair of your head will be lost.(AC) 19 By your endurance gain[g] your lives.(AD)
The Destruction of Jerusalem
20 “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies,(AE) then recognize that its desolation(AF) has come near. 21 Then those in Judea must flee(AG) to the mountains!(AH) Those inside the city[h] must leave it, and those who are in the country must not enter it, 22 because these are days of vengeance(AI) to fulfill all the things that are written. 23 Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days,(AJ) for there will be great distress in the land[i] and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the edge of the sword(AK) and be led captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles[j](AL) until the times of the Gentiles(AM) are fulfilled.
The Coming of the Son of Man
25 “Then there will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars;(AN) and there will be anguish on the earth among nations bewildered by the roaring sea and waves.(AO) 26 People will faint from fear and expectation of the things that are coming on the world, because the celestial powers will be shaken.(AP) 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud(AQ) with power and great glory.(AR) 28 But when these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near!”(AS)
The Parable of the Fig Tree
29 Then He told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30 As soon as they put out leaves you can see for yourselves and recognize that summer is already near. 31 In the same way, when you see these things happening, recognize[k] that the kingdom of God is near. 32 I assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until all things take place.(AT) 33 Heaven and earth will pass away,(AU) but My words will never pass away.(AV)
The Need for Watchfulness
34 “Be on your guard,(AW) so that your minds are not dulled[l] from carousing,[m] drunkenness,(AX) and worries of life,(AY) or that day will come on you unexpectedly(AZ) 35 like a trap. For it will come on all who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 But be alert at all times,(BA) praying that you may have strength[n] to escape(BB) all these things that are going to take place and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 During(BC) the day, He was teaching in the temple complex,(BD) but in the evening He would go out and spend the night on what is called the Mount of Olives.(BE) 38 Then all the people would come early in the morning to hear Him in the temple complex.(BF)

Luke 21
King James Version
21 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4 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.
5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
6 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.
7 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?
8 And 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.
9 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.
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12 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.
13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
16 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.
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
