The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Then Yeshua looked up, and as he watched the rich placing their gifts into the Temple offering-boxes,

2 he also saw a poor widow put in two small coins.

3 He said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put in more than all the others.

4 For they, out of their wealth, have contributed money they could easily spare; but she, out of her poverty, has given all she had to live on."

5 As some people were remarking about the Temple, how beautiful its stone work and memorial decorations were, he said,

6 "The time is coming when what you see here will be totally destroyed -- not a single stone will be left standing!"

7 They asked him, "Rabbi, if this is so, when will these events take place? And what sign will show that they are about to happen?"

8 He answered, "Watch out! Don't be fooled! For many will come in my name, saying, `I am he!' and, `The time has come!' Don't go after them.

9 And when you hear of wars and revolutions, don't panic. For these things must happen first, but the end will not follow immediately."

10 Then he told them, "Peoples will fight each other, nations will fight each other,

11 there will be great earthquakes, there will be epidemics and famines in various places, and there will be fearful sights and great signs from Heaven.

12 But before all this, they will arrest you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues and prisons; and you will be brought before kings and governors. This will all be on account of me,

13 but it will prove an opportunity for you to bear witness.

14 So make up your minds not to worry, rehearsing your defense beforehand;

15 for I myself will give you an eloquence and a wisdom that no adversary will be able to resist or refute.

16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends; some of you they will have put to death;

17 and every one will hate you because of me.

18 But not a hair of your head will be lost.

19 By standing firm you will save your lives.

20 "However, when you see Yerushalayim surrounded by armies, then you are to understand that she is about to be destroyed.

21 Those in Y'hudah must escape to the hills, those inside the city must get out, and those in the country must not enter it.

22 For these are the days of vengeance, when everything that has been written in the Tanakh will come true.

23 What a terrible time it will be for pregnant women and nursing mothers! For there will be great distress in the Land and judgment on the people.

24 Some will fall by the edge of the sword, others will be carried into all the countries of the Goyim, and Yerushalayim will be trampled down by the Goyim until the age of the Goyim has run its course.

25 "There will appear signs in the sun, moon and stars; and on earth, nations will be in anxiety and bewilderment at the sound and surge of the sea,

1 And looking up, he saw the men of wealth putting their offerings in the money-box.

2 And he saw a certain poor widow putting in a farthing.

3 And he said, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has given more than all of them:

4 For they gave out of their wealth, having more than enough for themselves: but she, even out of her need, has put in all her living.

5 And some were talking about the Temple, how it was made fair with beautiful stones and with offerings, but he said,

6 As for these things which you see, the days will come when not one stone will be resting on another, but all will be broken down.

7 And they said to him, Master, when will these things be? and what sign will there be when these events are to take place?

8 And he said, Take care that you are not tricked: for a number of people will come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is near: do not go after them.

9 And when news of wars and troubled times comes to your ears, have no fear; for these things have to be, but the end will not be now.

10 Then he said to them, Nation will be moved against nation and kingdom against kingdom:

11 There will be great earth-shocks and outbursts of disease in a number of places, and men will be without food; and there will be wonders and great signs from heaven.

12 But before all this, they will take you and be very cruel to you, giving you up to the Synagogues and to prisons, taking you before kings and rulers, because of my name.

13 And it will be turned to a witness for you.

14 So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:

15 For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.

16 But you will be given up even by your fathers and mothers, your brothers and relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death.

17 And you will be hated by all men, because of me.

18 But not a hair of your head will come to destruction.

19 By going through all these things, you will keep your lives.

20 But when you see armies all round about Jerusalem, then be certain that her destruction is near.

21 Then let those who are in Judaea go in flight to the mountains; and those who are in the middle of the town go out; and let not those who are in the country come in.

22 For these are the days of punishment, in which all the things in the Writings will be put into effect.

23 It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people.

24 And they will be put to death with the sword, and will be taken as prisoners into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be crushed under the feet of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles are complete.

25 And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth, fear among the nations and doubt because of the loud noise of the sea and the waves;
