Luke 21:1-7 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. When he looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury

2. and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins.

3. He said, “I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest;

4. for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.”

5. While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, he said,

6. “All that you see here—the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.”

7. Then they asked him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?”
