Luke 21

¹And having looked up, he saw those who did cast their gifts to the treasury — rich men,

²and he saw also a certain poor widow casting there two mites,

³and he said, 'Truly I say to you, that this poor widow did cast in more than all;

⁴for all these out of their superabundance did cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, did cast in.'

⁵And certain saying about the temple, that with goodly stones and devoted things it hath been adorned, he said,

⁶'These things that ye behold — days will come, in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.'

⁷And they questioned him, saying, 'Teacher, when, then, shall these things be? and what [is] the sign when these things may be about to happen?'

⁸And he said, 'See — ye may not be led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying — I am [he], and the time hath come nigh; go not on then after them;

⁹and when ye may hear of wars and uprisings, be not terrified, for it behoveth these things to happen first, but the end [is] not immediately.'

¹⁰Then said he to them, 'Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,

¹¹great shakings also in every place, and famines, and pestilences, there shall be; fearful things also, and great signs from heaven there shall be;

¹²and before all these, they shall lay on you their hands, and persecute, delivering up to synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and governors for my name's sake;
