Luke 21:20-24

Jesus Foretells Destruction of Jerusalem

20 “But ¹when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that ²its 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 ³days of ⁴vengeance, to fulfill ⁵all that is written.

23 ⁶Alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and ⁷wrath against this people.

24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and ⁸be led captive among all nations, and ⁹Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, ¹⁰until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
