and saw the rich men that were casting their gifts into the treasury.

2And he saw a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

3And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all:

4for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.

5And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and offerings, he said,

6As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

7And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are about to come to pass?

8And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.

9And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must needs come to pass first; but the end is not immediately.

10Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;

11and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven.

12But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons,

bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.

13It shall turn out unto you for a testimony.

14Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer:

15for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to gainsay.

20But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.

21Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein.

22For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

23Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the

land, and wrath unto this people.

24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;

29And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees:

30when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh.

32Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished.

33Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

34But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:

35for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth.

36But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

37And every day he was teaching in the temple; and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called Olivet.

38And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.
