1. Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box.
2. He also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.
3. He said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put in more than all of them.
4. For they all offered their gifts out of their wealth. But she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had to live on.”
5. Now while some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus said,
6. “As for these things that you are gazing at, the days will come when not one stone will be left on another. All will be torn down!”
7. So they asked him, “Teacher, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that these things are about to take place?”
8. He said, “Watch out that you are not misled. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them!
9. And when you hear of wars and rebellions, do not be afraid. For these things must happen first, but the end will not come at once.”
10. Then he said to them, “Nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
