Luca 21
La Nuova Diodati
21 Poi Gesú alzò gli occhi e vide i ricchi che gettavano i loro doni nella cassa del tesoro,
2 e vide anche una povera vedova che vi gettava due spiccioli,
3 e disse: «In verità io vi dico che questa povera vedova ha gettato piú di tutti gli altri.
4 Tutti costoro infatti hanno gettato nelle offerte per la casa di Dio del loro superfluo, ma costei vi ha gettato nella sua povertà tutto quello che aveva per vivere».
5 Poi, come alcuni parlavano del tempio e facevano notare che era adorno di belle pietre e di offerte, egli disse:
6 «Di tutte queste cose che ammirate, verranno i giorni in cui non sarà lasciata pietra su pietra che non sia diroccata».
7 Essi allora lo interrogarono dicendo: «Maestro, quando avverranno dunque queste cose e quale sarà il segno che queste cose stanno per compiersi?».
8 Ed egli disse: «Guardate di non essere ingannati, perché molti verranno nel mio nome, dicendo: "Sono io" e: "Il tempo è giunto". Non andate dunque dietro a loro.
9 Quando poi sentirete parlare di guerre e di tumulti, non vi spaventate perché queste cose devono prima avvenire, ma non verrà subito la fine».
10 Allora disse loro: «Si solleverà nazione contro nazione e regno contro regno;
11 e vi saranno grandi terremoti, carestie e pestilenze in vari luoghi vi saranno anche dei fenomeni spaventevoli e grandi segni dal cielo.
12 Ma prima di tutte queste cose, vi metteranno le mani addosso e vi perseguiteranno, consegnandovi alle sinagoghe e mettendovi in prigione; e sarete portati davanti ai re e ai governatori a causa del mio nome;
13 ma questo vi darà occasione di testimoniare.
14 Mettetevi dunque in cuore di non premeditare come rispondere a vostra difesa,
15 perché io vi darò una favella e una sapienza a cui tutti i vostri avversari non potranno contraddire o resistere.
16 Or voi sarete traditi anche dai genitori, dai fratelli, dai parenti e dagli amici; e faranno morire alcuni di voi.
17 E sarete odiati da tutti a causa del mio nome.
18 Ma neppure un capello del vostro capo perirà.
19 Nella vostra perseveranza guadagnerete le anime vostre».
20 «Ora, quando vedrete Gerusalemme circondata da eserciti, sappiate che allora la sua desolazione è vicina.
21 Allora, coloro che sono nella Giudea fuggano sui monti; e coloro che sono in città se ne allontanino; e coloro che sono nei campi non entrino in essa.
22 Poiché questi sono giorni di vendetta, affinché tutte le cose che sono scritte siano adempiute.
23 Guai alle donne incinte e a quelle che allatteranno in quei giorni, perché vi sarà grande avversità nel paese e ira su questo popolo.
24 Ed essi cadranno sotto il taglio della spada, e saranno condotti prigionieri fra tutte le nazioni; e Gerusalemme sarà calpestata dai gentili, finché i tempi dei gentili siano compiuti».
25 «E vi saranno dei segni nel sole, nella luna e nelle stelle, e sulla terra angoscia di popoli, nello smarrimento al fragore del mare e dei flutti;
26 gli uomini verranno meno dalla paura e dall'attesa delle cose che si abbatteranno sul mondo, perché le potenze dei cieli saranno scrollate.
27 Allora vedranno il Figlio dell'uomo venire su una nuvola con potenza e grande gloria.
28 Ora, quando queste cose cominceranno ad accadere, guardate in alto e alzate le vostre teste, perché la vostra redenzione è vicina».
29 Poi disse loro una parabola: «Osservate il fico e tutti gli alberi.
30 Quando essi cominciano a mettere i germogli, vedendoli, voi stessi riconoscete che l'estate è vicina;
31 cosí anche voi, quando vedrete accadere queste cose, sappiate che il regno di Dio è vicino.
32 In verità io vi dico che questa generazione non passerà finché tutte queste cose non siano accadute.
33 Il cielo e la terra passeranno, ma le mie parole non passeranno».
34 «Or fate attenzione che talora i vostri cuori non siano aggravati da gozzoviglie da ubriachezza e dalle preoccupazioni di questa vita, e che quel giorno vi piombi addosso all'improvviso.
35 Perché verrà come un laccio su tutti quelli che abitano sulla faccia di tutta la terra.
36 Vegliate dunque, pregando in ogni tempo, affinché siate ritenuti degni di scampare a tutte queste cose che stanno per accadere e di comparire davanti al Figlio dell'uomo».
37 Durante il giorno egli insegnava nel tempio, e la notte usciva e la trascorreva all'aperto sul monte degli Ulivi.
38 E tutto il popolo, al mattino presto veniva da lui nel tempio per ascoltarlo.

21 αναβλεψας δε ειδεν τους βαλλοντας τα δωρα αυτων εις το γαζοφυλακιον πλουσιους
2 ειδεν δε και τινα χηραν πενιχραν βαλλουσαν εκει δυο λεπτα
3 και ειπεν αληθως λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα η πτωχη αυτη πλειον παντων εβαλεν
4 απαντες γαρ ουτοι εκ του περισσευοντος αυτοις εβαλον εις τα δωρα του θεου αυτη δε εκ του υστερηματος αυτης απαντα τον βιον ον ειχεν εβαλεν
5 και τινων λεγοντων περι του ιερου οτι λιθοις καλοις και αναθημασιν κεκοσμηται ειπεν
6 ταυτα α θεωρειτε ελευσονται ημεραι εν αις ουκ αφεθησεται λιθος επι λιθω ος ου καταλυθησεται
7 επηρωτησαν δε αυτον λεγοντες διδασκαλε ποτε ουν ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη ταυτα γινεσθαι
8 ο δε ειπεν βλεπετε μη πλανηθητε πολλοι γαρ ελευσονται επι τω ονοματι μου λεγοντες οτι εγω ειμι και ο καιρος ηγγικεν μη ουν πορευθητε οπισω αυτων
9 οταν δε ακουσητε πολεμους και ακαταστασιας μη πτοηθητε δει γαρ ταυτα γενεσθαι πρωτον αλλ ουκ ευθεως το τελος
10 τοτε ελεγεν αυτοις εγερθησεται εθνος επι εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν
11 σεισμοι τε μεγαλοι κατα τοπους και λιμοι και λοιμοι εσονται φοβητρα τε και σημεια απ ουρανου μεγαλα εσται
12 προ δε τουτων απαντων επιβαλουσιν εφ υμας τας χειρας αυτων και διωξουσιν παραδιδοντες εις συναγωγας και φυλακας αγομενους επι βασιλεις και ηγεμονας ενεκεν του ονοματος μου
13 αποβησεται δε υμιν εις μαρτυριον
14 θεσθε ουν εις τας καρδιας υμων μη προμελεταν απολογηθηναι
15 εγω γαρ δωσω υμιν στομα και σοφιαν η ου δυνησονται αντειπειν ουδε αντιστηναι παντες οι αντικειμενοι υμιν
16 παραδοθησεσθε δε και υπο γονεων και αδελφων και συγγενων και φιλων και θανατωσουσιν εξ υμων
17 και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου
18 και θριξ εκ της κεφαλης υμων ου μη αποληται
19 εν τη υπομονη υμων κτησασθε τας ψυχας υμων
20 οταν δε ιδητε κυκλουμενην υπο στρατοπεδων την ιερουσαλημ τοτε γνωτε οτι ηγγικεν η ερημωσις αυτης
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

24 και πεσουνται στοματι μαχαιρας και αιχμαλωτισθησονται εις παντα τα εθνη και ιερουσαλημ εσται πατουμενη υπο εθνων αχρι πληρωθωσιν καιροι εθνων
25 και εσται σημεια εν ηλιω και σεληνη και αστροις και επι της γης συνοχη εθνων εν απορια ηχουσης θαλασσης και σαλου
26 αποψυχοντων ανθρωπων απο φοβου και προσδοκιας των επερχομενων τη οικουμενη αι γαρ δυναμεις των ουρανων σαλευθησονται
27 και τοτε οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν νεφελη μετα δυναμεως και δοξης πολλης
28 αρχομενων δε τουτων γινεσθαι ανακυψατε και επαρατε τας κεφαλας υμων διοτι εγγιζει η απολυτρωσις υμων
29 και ειπεν παραβολην αυτοις ιδετε την συκην και παντα τα δενδρα
30 οταν προβαλωσιν ηδη βλεποντες αφ εαυτων γινωσκετε οτι ηδη εγγυς το θερος εστιν
31 ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε ταυτα γινομενα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
32 αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εως αν παντα γενηται
33 ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσονται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν
34 προσεχετε δε εαυτοις μηποτε βαρυνθωσιν υμων αι καρδιαι εν κραιπαλη και μεθη και μεριμναις βιωτικαις και αιφνιδιος εφ υμας επιστη η ημερα εκεινη
35 ως παγις γαρ επελευσεται επι παντας τους καθημενους επι προσωπον πασης της γης
36 αγρυπνειτε ουν εν παντι καιρω δεομενοι ινα καταξιωθητε εκφυγειν ταυτα παντα τα μελλοντα γινεσθαι και σταθηναι εμπροσθεν του υιου του ανθρωπου
37 ην δε τας ημερας εν τω ιερω διδασκων τας δε νυκτας εξερχομενος ηυλιζετο εις το ορος το καλουμενον ελαιων
38 και πας ο λαος ωρθριζεν προς αυτον εν τω ιερω ακουειν αυτου
Luke 21
Authorized (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 Judæa 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.
