Lucas 21
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
La ofrenda de la viuda
21 (A)Levantando Jesús la vista, vio a los ricos que echaban sus ofrendas[a] en el arca del tesoro. 2 Vio también a una viuda pobre que echaba allí dos pequeñas monedas de cobre(B);
3 y dijo: «En verdad les digo, que esta viuda tan pobre echó más que todos ellos; 4 porque todos ellos echaron en la ofrenda[b]de lo que les sobra[c], pero ella, de su pobreza, echó todo lo que tenía para vivir[d](C)».
Profecía sobre la destrucción del templo
5 (D)Mientras algunos estaban hablando del templo, de cómo[e] estaba adornado con hermosas piedras y ofrendas votivas, Jesús dijo: 6 «En cuanto a estas cosas que ustedes están mirando, vendrán días en que no quedará piedra sobre piedra(E)que no sea derribada».
7 Ellos le preguntaron: «Maestro, ¿cuándo sucederá[f] esto, y qué señal[g] habrá cuando estas cosas vayan a suceder?». 8 Jesús respondió: «Cuídense de no ser engañados; porque muchos vendrán en Mi nombre, diciendo: “Yo soy(F)el Cristo[h]”, y: “El tiempo está cerca”. No los sigan(G). 9 Y cuando oigan de guerras y disturbios, no se aterroricen; porque estas cosas tienen que suceder primero, pero el fin no sucederá inmediatamente».
Señales y persecuciones
10 Entonces les dijo: «Se levantará nación contra nación y reino contra reino; 11 habrá grandes terremotos, y plagas y hambres en diversos lugares; y habrá terrores y grandes señales[i]del cielo.
12 »Pero antes de todas estas cosas, (H) a ustedes les echarán mano, y los perseguirán, entregándolos a las sinagogas y cárceles, llevándolos ante reyes y gobernadores por causa de Mi nombre. 13 Esto les dará oportunidad de testificar[j](I). 14 Por tanto, propónganse en sus corazones no preparar de antemano su defensa(J); 15 porque Yo les daré a ustedes palabras[k](K)y sabiduría que ninguno de sus adversarios podrá resistir ni contradecir.
16 »Pero serán entregados aun por padres, hermanos, parientes y amigos; y matarán a algunos de ustedes, 17 y serán odiados de todos por causa de Mi nombre. 18 Sin embargo, ni un cabello de su cabeza(L)perecerá. 19 Con su perseverancia ganarán sus almas[l](M).
20 »Pero cuando ustedes vean a Jerusalén rodeada de ejércitos(N) , sepan entonces que su desolación está cerca. 21 Entonces los que estén en Judea, huyan a los montes, y los que estén en medio de la ciudad[m], aléjense; y los que estén en los campos, no entren en ella(O). 22 Porque estos son días de venganza(P), para que se cumplan todas las cosas que están escritas.
23 »¡Ay de las que estén encinta y de las que estén criando en aquellos días! Porque habrá una gran calamidad sobre la tierra, e ira para este pueblo(Q) . 24 Caerán a filo de espada(R)y serán llevados cautivos a todas las naciones. Jerusalén será pisoteada por los gentiles(S), hasta que los tiempos de los gentiles se cumplan(T).
La venida del Hijo del Hombre
25 »Habrá señales[n] en el sol, en la luna y en las estrellas, y sobre la tierra, angustia entre las naciones, perplejas a causa del rugido del mar y de las olas, 26 desfalleciendo los hombres por el temor y la expectación de las cosas que vendrán sobre el mundo[o]; porque las potencias de los cielos serán sacudidas.
27 »Entonces verán al Hijo del Hombre que viene en una nube(U) con poder y gran gloria(V) . 28 Cuando estas cosas empiecen a suceder, levántense[p]y alcen la cabeza, porque se acerca su redención(W)».
Parábola de la higuera
29 Jesús les dijo también una parábola: «Miren la higuera y todos los árboles. 30 Cuando ya brotan las hojas, al verlo, ustedes mismos saben(X)que el verano ya está cerca. 31 Asimismo ustedes, cuando vean que suceden estas cosas, sepan que el reino de Dios está cerca(Y). 32 En verdad les digo que no pasará esta generación hasta que todo esto suceda. 33 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero Mis palabras no pasarán(Z).
Exhortación a velar
34 »Estén alerta(AA) , no sea que sus corazones se carguen con disipación, embriaguez y con las preocupaciones de la vida, y aquel día venga súbitamente sobre ustedes como un lazo; 35 porque vendrá sobre todos los que habitan sobre la superficie de toda la tierra. 36 Pero velen en todo tiempo(AB), orando para que tengan fuerza para escapar de todas estas cosas que están por suceder, y puedan estar en pie delante del Hijo del Hombre(AC)».
37 Durante el día[q] Jesús enseñaba en el templo(AD), pero al oscurecer[r] salía(AE) y pasaba la noche en el monte llamado de los Olivos(AF). 38 Y todo el pueblo iba temprano al templo[s] a escuchar a Jesús(AG).

Luke 21
New International Version
The Widow’s Offering(A)
21 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.(B) 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”(C)
The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times(D)(E)
5 Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6 “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another;(F) every one of them will be thrown down.”
7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”
8 He replied: “Watch out 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.(G) 9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”
10 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.(H) 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.(I)
12 “But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. 13 And so you will bear testimony to me.(J) 14 But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves.(K) 15 For I will give you(L) words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends,(M) and they will put some of you to death. 17 Everyone will hate you because of me.(N) 18 But not a hair of your head will perish.(O) 19 Stand firm, and you will win life.(P)
20 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies,(Q) you will know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city.(R) 22 For this is the time of punishment(S) in fulfillment(T) of all that has been written. 23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled(U) on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.(V) 26 People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.(W) 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man(X) coming in a cloud(Y) with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”(Z)
29 He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. 30 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God(AA) is near.
32 “Truly I tell you, this generation(AB) will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(AC)
34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life,(AD) and that day will close on you suddenly(AE) like a trap. 35 For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be always on the watch, and pray(AF) that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 Each day Jesus was teaching at the temple,(AG) and each evening he went out(AH) to spend the night on the hill called the Mount of Olives,(AI) 38 and all the people came early in the morning to hear him at the temple.(AJ)
Luke 21
King James Version
21 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them 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 be fulfilled.
25 And 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 shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
