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。 他又看見一個窮寡婦,投入兩個小錢, 就說:“我實在告訴你們,這個窮寡婦所投的,比眾人投的更多。 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)

有人在談論聖殿,是用美麗的石頭和供物裝飾的。耶穌說: “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)

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?” 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。 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。

The Widow’s Offering

21 He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury; and he saw a poor widow put in two copper coins. And he said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; for they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all the living that she had.”

The Destruction of the Temple Foretold

And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said, “As for these things which you see, the days will come when there shall not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” And they asked him, “Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign when this is about to take place?” And he said, “Take heed that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them. And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified; for this must first take place, but the end will not be at once.”

Signs and Persecutions

10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; 11 there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. 12 But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name’s sake. 13 This will be a time for you to bear testimony. 14 Settle it therefore in your minds, not to meditate beforehand how to answer; 15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict. 16 You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends, and some of you they will put to death; 17 you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 By your endurance you will gain your lives.

The Destruction of Jerusalem Foretold

20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it; 22 for these are days of vengeance, to fulfil all that is written. 23 Alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days! For great distress shall be upon the earth and wrath upon this people; 24 they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive among all nations; and Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

The Coming of the Son of Man

25 “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26 men fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to take place, look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

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

Exhortation to Watch

34 “But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a snare; 35 for it will come upon all who dwell upon the face of the whole earth. 36 But watch at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of man.”

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

Istinsko davanje

(Mk 12,41-44)

21 Isus je pogledao i vidio kako bogataši ubacuju svoje darove u hramsku kutiju za priloge. Zatim je ugledao siromašnu udovicu kako ubacuje dva bakrena novčića[a]. Rekao je: »Govorim vam istinu. Ova je siromašna udovica ubacila više nego itko od njih. Jer, svi su oni dali od svoga viška, a ona je od svojeg siromaštva dala sve što je imala za život.«

Uništenje Hrama

(Mt 24,1-14; Mk 13,1-13)

Neki su Isusovi učenici razgovarali o izgledu Hrama, o tome kako je sagrađen od najljepšega kamena i ukrašen zavjetnim darovima, a Isus je rekao:

»Doći će vrijeme kada od svega što vidite neće ostati ni kamen na kamenu: sve će biti razoreno.«

Oni su ga upitali: »Učitelju, kada će to biti? Kako ćemo znati da se to treba uskoro dogoditi?«

A on im je odgovorio: »Čuvajte se da vas ne prevare! Jer, mnogi će doći u moje ime i reći: ‘Ja sam taj’ i ‘Bliži se vrijeme’. Ne slijedite ih! I nemojte se bojati kad čujete za ratove i pobune. Sve se to najprije mora dogoditi, ali kraj neće doći odmah.«

10 Zatim im je rekao: »Jedan će narod ustati protiv drugoga i kraljevstvo protiv kraljevstva. 11 Bit će velikih potresa, gladi i pošasti na raznim mjestima. Dogodit će se strašne stvari i na nebu će se pojaviti zapanjujuća upozorenja.

12 Ali prije nego što se sve to dogodi, zatvarat će vas i progoniti. Predavat će vas u sinagoge na suđenje i slati u zatvore. Zbog mene će vas dovoditi pred kraljeve i upravitelje. 13 Vama će to biti prilika da svjedočite o meni. 14 Znajte, stoga, da nećete unaprijed trebati pripremati svoju obranu jer 15 ću vam dati mudrosti i riječi kojima se ni jedan vaš protivnik neće moći suprotstaviti niti ih opovrgnuti. 16 Čak će vas i roditelji, braća, rodbina i prijatelji izdati; neke od vas će i ubiti. 17 Svi će vas zbog mene mrziti, 18 ali vama ni dlaka s glave neće pasti. 19 Svojom ćete ustrajnošću dobiti život.«

Uništenje Jeruzalema

(Mt 24,15-21; Mk 13,14-19)

20 »Kad vidite da je Jeruzalem opkoljen vojskama, znajte da će uskoro biti uništen! 21 Tada, oni koji se zateknu u Judeji, neka bježe u brda. Oni koji se zateknu u gradu, neka izađu iz njega, a oni koji se zateknu u okolici, neka ne ulaze u njega. 22 To će biti dani kazne u kojima će se ispuniti sve što je zapisano. 23 Trudnicama i dojiljama bit će posebno teško u to vrijeme jer će velika nevolja snaći ovu zemlju. Božji će gnjev pasti na ovaj narod. 24 Neki će biti pobijeni mačem, a drugi odvedeni u zarobljeništvo diljem svijeta. Nežidovi će gaziti Jeruzalem sve dok se ne ispuni njihovo vrijeme.«

Isusov drugi dolazak

(Mt 24,29-31; Mk 13,24-27)

25 »Pojavit će se znaci na suncu, mjesecu i zvijezdama, a narode na Zemlji zahvatit će očaj i neizvjesnost zbog huke uzburkanog mora. 26 Ljudi će klonuti od straha i užasa zbog onoga što će snaći Zemlju jer će se poremetiti sklad nebeskih tijela. 27 I tada će vidjeti Sina Čovječjega kako dolazi na oblaku u velikoj slavi i moći. 28 Kad se sve to počne događati, uspravite se i dignite glave jer se bliži vaše oslobođenje!«

Isusove riječi ostaju zauvijek

(Mt 24,32-35; Mk 13,28-31)

29 Zatim im je ispričao usporedbu: »Pogledajte smokvu i ostalo drveće! 30 Čim vidite da počnu listati, i sami znate da je blizu ljeto. 31 Isto tako, kad vidite da se ovo događa, znajte da je blizu Božje kraljevstvo!

32 Govorim vam istinu. Ovaj naraštaj neće umrijeti prije nego što se sve to dogodi. 33 Nebo i Zemlja će nestati, ali moje riječi neće nikada nestati.«

Budite budni!

34 »Čuvajte se da vam srca ne otupe od raspuštenosti, pijanstva i tjeskobnih briga pa da vas taj dan ne iznenadi kao zamka 35 jer će doći na sve stanovnike Zemlje. 36 U svakom trenutku budite budni i molite da biste mogli sigurno prebroditi sve što dolazi i spremno stati pred Sina Čovječjega.«

37 Isus je danju poučavao u Hramu, a svaku bi večer odlazio i provodio noći na Maslinskoj gori. 38 A narod bi ustajao rano ujutro i odlazio u Hram da ga sluša.
