Luke 21:8-9, 25-27, 33-36 (Gospel)
- 8
- And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them.
- 9
- But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.”
- 25
- And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
- 26
- men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
- 27
- Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
- 33
- Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
- 34
- But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.
- 35
- For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.
- 36
- Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
