1Then Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury,
1Ἀναβλέψας δὲ εἶδεν τοὺς βάλλοντας ⸂εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον τὰ δῶρα αὐτῶν⸃ πλουσίους.
2and He saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.
2εἶδεν δέ ⸀τινα χήραν πενιχρὰν βάλλουσαν ἐκεῖ ⸂λεπτὰ δύο⸃,
3“Truly I tell you,” He said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others.
3καὶ εἶπεν· Ἀληθῶς λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἡ χήρα ⸂ἡ πτωχὴ αὕτη⸃ πλεῖον πάντων ἔβαλεν·
4For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
4⸀πάντες γὰρ οὗτοι ἐκ τοῦ περισσεύοντος αὐτοῖς ἔβαλον εἰς τὰ ⸀δῶρα, αὕτη δὲ ἐκ τοῦ ὑστερήματος αὐτῆς ⸀πάντα τὸν βίον ὃν εἶχεν ἔβαλεν.
5As some of the disciples were remarking how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and consecrated gifts, Jesus said,
5Καί τινων λεγόντων περὶ τοῦ ἱεροῦ, ὅτι λίθοις καλοῖς καὶ ἀναθήμασιν κεκόσμηται εἶπεν·
6“As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
6Ταῦτα ἃ θεωρεῖτε, ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ἐν αἷς οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται λίθος ἐπὶ ⸀λίθῳ ὃς οὐ καταλυθήσεται.
7“Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”
7Ἐπηρώτησαν δὲ αὐτὸν λέγοντες· Διδάσκαλε, πότε οὖν ταῦτα ἔσται, καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον ὅταν μέλλῃ ταῦτα γίνεσθαι;
8Jesus answered, “See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.
8ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· Βλέπετε μὴ πλανηθῆτε· πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου ⸀λέγοντες· Ἐγώ εἰμι καί· Ὁ καιρὸς ἤγγικεν· ⸀μὴ πορευθῆτε ὀπίσω αὐτῶν.
9When you hear of wars and rebellions, do not be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end is not imminent.”
9ὅταν δὲ ἀκούσητε πολέμους καὶ ἀκαταστασίας, μὴ πτοηθῆτε· δεῖ γὰρ ταῦτα γενέσθαι πρῶτον, ἀλλʼ οὐκ εὐθέως τὸ τέλος.
10Then He told them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
10τότε ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· Ἐγερθήσεται ἔθνος ἐπʼ ἔθνος καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν,
11There will be great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in various places, along with fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
11σεισμοί τε μεγάλοι ⸂καὶ κατὰ τόπους⸃ ⸂λιμοὶ καὶ λοιμοὶ⸃ ἔσονται, φόβητρά τε καὶ ⸂σημεῖα ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ μεγάλα⸃ ἔσται.
12But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. On account of My name they will deliver you to the synagogues and prisons, and they will bring you before kings and governors.
12Πρὸ δὲ τούτων πάντων ἐπιβαλοῦσιν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν καὶ διώξουσιν, παραδιδόντες εἰς ⸀τὰς συναγωγὰς καὶ φυλακάς, ⸀ἀπαγομένους ἐπὶ βασιλεῖς καὶ ἡγεμόνας ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός μου·
13This will be your opportunity to serve as witnesses.
13⸀ἀποβήσεται ὑμῖν εἰς μαρτύριον.
14So make up your mind not to worry beforehand how to defend yourselves.
14⸀θέτε οὖν ⸂ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις⸃ ὑμῶν μὴ προμελετᾶν ἀπολογηθῆναι,
15For I will give you speech and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.
15ἐγὼ γὰρ δώσω ὑμῖν στόμα καὶ σοφίαν ᾗ οὐ δυνήσονται ⸂ἀντιστῆναι ἢ ἀντειπεῖν⸃ ⸀ἅπαντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι ὑμῖν.
16You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you will be put to death.
16παραδοθήσεσθε δὲ καὶ ὑπὸ γονέων καὶ ⸂ἀδελφῶν καὶ συγγενῶν καὶ φίλων⸃, καὶ θανατώσουσιν ἐξ ὑμῶν,
17And you will be hated by everyone because of My name.
17καὶ ἔσεσθε μισούμενοι ὑπὸ πάντων διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου.
18Yet not even a hair of your head will perish.
18καὶ θρὶξ ἐκ τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν οὐ μὴ ἀπόληται.
19By your patient endurance you will gain your souls.
19ἐν τῇ ὑπομονῇ ὑμῶν ⸀κτήσασθε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν.
20But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you will know that her desolation is near.
20Ὅταν δὲ ἴδητε κυκλουμένην ὑπὸ ⸀στρατοπέδων Ἰερουσαλήμ, τότε γνῶτε ὅτι ἤγγικεν ἡ ἐρήμωσις αὐτῆς.
21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country stay out of the city.
21τότε οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φευγέτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὄρη, καὶ οἱ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ἐκχωρείτωσαν, καὶ οἱ ἐν ταῖς χώραις μὴ εἰσερχέσθωσαν εἰς αὐτήν,
22For these are the days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written.
22ὅτι ἡμέραι ἐκδικήσεως αὗταί εἰσιν τοῦ πλησθῆναι πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα.
23How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers! For there will be great distress upon the land and wrath against this people.
23⸀οὐαὶ ταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις· ἔσται γὰρ ἀνάγκη μεγάλη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ⸀ὀργὴ τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ,
24They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
24καὶ πεσοῦνται στόματι μαχαίρης καὶ αἰχμαλωτισθήσονται εἰς ⸂τὰ ἔθνη πάντα⸃, καὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἔσται πατουμένη ὑπὸ ἐθνῶν, ἄχρι ⸀οὗ ⸀πληρωθῶσιν καιροὶ ἐθνῶν.
25There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves.
25Καὶ ⸀ἔσονται σημεῖα ἐν ἡλίῳ καὶ σελήνῃ καὶ ἄστροις, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς συνοχὴ ἐθνῶν ἐν ἀπορίᾳ ⸀ἤχους θαλάσσης καὶ σάλου,
26Men will faint from fear and anxiety over what is coming upon the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
26ἀποψυχόντων ἀνθρώπων ἀπὸ φόβου καὶ προσδοκίας τῶν ἐπερχομένων τῇ οἰκουμένῃ, αἱ γὰρ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται.
27At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
27καὶ τότε ὄψονται τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐν νεφέλῃ μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς.
28When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
28ἀρχομένων δὲ τούτων γίνεσθαι ἀνακύψατε καὶ ἐπάρατε τὰς κεφαλὰς ὑμῶν, διότι ἐγγίζει ἡ ἀπολύτρωσις ὑμῶν.
29Then Jesus told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.
29Καὶ εἶπεν παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς· Ἴδετε τὴν συκῆν καὶ πάντα τὰ δένδρα·
30When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.
30ὅταν προβάλωσιν ἤδη, βλέποντες ἀφʼ ἑαυτῶν γινώσκετε ὅτι ἤδη ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος ἐστίν·
31So also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
31οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ἴδητε ταῦτα γινόμενα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ.
32Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
32ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη ἕως ἂν πάντα γένηται.
33Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
33ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ ⸀παρελεύσονται, οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρελεύσονται.
34But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life—and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare.
34Προσέχετε δὲ ἑαυτοῖς μήποτε βαρηθῶσιν ⸂ὑμῶν αἱ καρδίαι⸃ ἐν κραιπάλῃ καὶ μέθῃ καὶ μερίμναις βιωτικαῖς, καὶ ⸂ἐπιστῇ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς αἰφνίδιος⸃ ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη
35For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of all the earth.
35ὡς παγίς· ⸂ἐπεισελεύσεται γὰρ⸃ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς καθημένους ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς.
36So keep watch at all times, and pray that you may have the strength to escape all that is about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man.”
36ἀγρυπνεῖτε ⸀δὲ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ δεόμενοι ἵνα ⸀κατισχύσητε ἐκφυγεῖν ⸀ταῦτα πάντα τὰ μέλλοντα γίνεσθαι, καὶ σταθῆναι ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
37Every day Jesus taught at the temple, but every evening He went out to spend the night on the Mount of Olives.
37Ἦν δὲ τὰς ἡμέρας ⸂ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ διδάσκων⸃, τὰς δὲ νύκτας ἐξερχόμενος ηὐλίζετο εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ καλούμενον Ἐλαιῶν·
38And early in the morning all the people would come to hear Him at the temple.
38καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὤρθριζεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ.
