And he looked up
, and saw
the rich men
casting
their
gifts
into
the treasury
.
And he saw
also
a certain
poor
widow
casting
in thither
two
mites
.
And he said
, Of a truth
I say
unto you
, that
this
poor
widow
hath cast
in more than
they all
:
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
.
And as some
spake
of
the temple
, how
it was adorned
with goodly
stones
and
gifts
, he said
,
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
.
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
?
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
.
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
.
Then said he
unto them
, Nation
shall rise
against
nation
, and
kingdom
against
kingdom
:
And great
earthquakes
shall be
in
divers places
, and
famines
, and
pestilences
; and
fearful sights
and
great
signs
shall there be
from
heaven
.
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
.
And it shall turn
to you
for
a testimony
.
Settle it therefore
in
your
hearts
, not
to meditate before
what ye shall answer
:
For I
will give
you
a mouth
and
wisdom
, which
all
your
adversaries
shall
not
be able
to gainsay
nor
resist
.
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
.
And ye shall be
hated
of
all
men for
my
name's sake
.
But there shall not
an hair
of
your
head
perish
.
In your
patience
possess ye
your
souls
.
And when
ye shall see
Jerusalem
compassed
with
armies
, then
know
that
the desolation
thereof
is nigh
.
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
.
For these
be
the days
of vengeance
, that all things
which
are written
may be fulfilled
.
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
.
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
.
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
;
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
.
And then
shall they see
the Son
of man
coming
in
a cloud
with
power
and
great
glory
.
And when these things
begin
to come to pass
, then look up
, and
lift up
your
heads
; for
your
redemption
draweth nigh
.
And he spake
to them
a parable
; Behold
the fig tree
, and
all
the trees
;
When they now
shoot forth
, ye see
and know
of
your own selves
that
summer
is
now
nigh at hand
.
So likewise
ye
, when
ye see
these things
come to pass
, know ye
that
the kingdom
of God
is
nigh at hand
.
Verily I say
unto you
,
This
generation
shall
not
pass away
,
till
all
be fulfilled
.
Heaven and
earth
shall pass away
: but
my
words
shall
not
pass away
.
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
.
For as
a snare
shall it come
on
all
them that dwell
on
the face
of the whole
earth
.
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
.
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
.
And all
the people
came early in the morning
to
him
in
the temple
, for to hear
him
.
