1. And he looked up, and saw 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 to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all.
4. For all these have of their abundance cast in to the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
5. And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones, and gifts, he said,
6. As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.
7. And they asked him, saying, Master, but when will 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 will come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: therefore go ye not 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 immediately.
10. Then said he to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11. And great earthquakes will be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences: and fearful sights, and great signs will there be from heaven.
12. But before all these they will 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.
