The Destruction of Jerusalem^(A)

^20 (B)“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. ²¹ Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. ²² For these are the days of vengeance, that ^(C)all things which are written may be fulfilled.

⁴ so that ^(A)we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God ^(B)for your patience and faith ^(C)in all your persecutions and ^[a]tribulations that you endure, ⁵ which is ^(D)manifest^[b] evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, ^(E)for which you also suffer; ^6 (F)since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with ^[c]tribulation those who trouble you, ⁷ and to give you who are troubled ^(G)rest with us when ^(H)the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, ⁸ in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. ^9 (I)These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and ^(J)from the glory of His power, ¹⁰ when He comes, in that Day, ^(K)to be ^(L)glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who ^[d]believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

^38 (A)For whoever ^(B)is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

The Transfiguration of Christ^(C)

9 And He said to them, ^(D)“Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see ^(E)the kingdom of God ^[a]present with power.”
