1 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.
