17
And ye shall be hated of all
men for my name’s sake.
18
But not a hair of your head shall perish.
19
In your patience ye shall possess your souls.
20
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is near.
21
Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains, and let those who are in the midst of it depart out, and let not those that are in the country enter thereinto.
22
For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23
But woe unto those that are with child and to those 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 are fulfilled.
25
Then 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 they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
