1 And having looked up, he saw the rich casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 And he also saw a certain poor widow there casting in two mites.
3 And he said, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow cast in more than they all.
4 For all these cast into the offerings of God from their abundance, but this woman from her poverty cast in all the living that she had.
5 And as some spoke about the temple, that it was adorned with fine stones and gifts, he said,
6 These things that ye see, the days will come during which there will not be left a stone upon a stone that will not be thrown down.
7 And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, when therefore will these things be? And what is the sign when these things are going to happen?
8 And he said, Watch that ye may not be led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, I am, and, The time has come near. Go ye not therefore after them.
9 And when ye may hear of wars and tumults, do not be alarmed, for these things must first happen, but the end is not straightaway.
10 Then he said to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 And great earthquakes will be in various places, and famines and plagues. And there will be fearful sights and great signs from the sky.
12 But before all these things, they will throw their hands on you, and will persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
13 But it will go out from you for testimony.
14 Settle therefore in your hearts not to premeditate to make defense.
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom that all those who oppose you will not be able to contradict or to resist.
16 And ye will be betrayed even by parents, and kinsmen, and friends, and brothers. And some of you they will condemn to death.
17 And ye will be hated by all men because of my name.
18 And, no, not a hair of your head will perish.
19 In your perseverance ye gain your souls.
20 But when ye see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that the desolation of it has come near.
21 Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those in the midst of it depart out, and let not those in the countrysides enter into it.
22 Because these are days of vengeance to fulfill all things that are written.
23 But woe to those who have in the womb, and to those who suckle in those days. For there will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people.
24 And they will fall by the jaw of the sword, and will be led away captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, roaring of sea and of tossing,
26 fainting of men from fear, and of anticipation of the things coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and much glory.
28 And when these things begin to happen, stand upright, and lift up your heads, because your redemption approaches.
29 And he spoke a parable to them. Behold the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 When they are now sprouting, ye know seeing for yourselves that summer is now near.
31 Even so ye, when ye see these things happening, know ye that the kingdom of God is near.
32 Truly I say to you, that this generation will, no, not pass away until all things happen.
33 The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words may, no, not pass away.
34 But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down in debauchery and drunkenness and mundane cares, and that day come upon you sudden.
35 For it will come like a trap upon all those who sit upon the face of all the earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, making supplication at all times, so that ye may be considered worthy to escape all these things going to happen, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 And during the days he was teaching in the temple, and going forth the nights, he lodged on the mount that is called Olives.
38 And all the people rose early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
1 As he behelde he sawe the ryche men how they cast in their offeringes into the treasury.
2 And he sawe also a certayne povre widdowe which cast in thyther two mites.
3 And he sayde: of a trueth I saye vnto you this poore wyddowe hath put in moare then they all.
4 For they all have of their superfluyte added vnto the offerynge of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the substaunce that she had.
5 As some spake of the teple how it was garnesshed with goodly stones and iewels he sayde.
6 The dayes will come whe of these thynges which ye se shall not be lefte stone apon stone that shall not be throwen doune.
7 And they axed him sayinge: Master whe shall these thinges be and what signe will therbe whe suche thinges shall come to passe.
8 And he sayd: take hede that ye be not deceaved. For many will come in my name saying: I am he: and the tyme draweth neare. Folowe ye not them therfore.
9 But when ye heare of warre and of dissencion: be not afrayd. For these thinges must fyrst come: but the ende foloweth not by and by.
10 Then sayd he vnto the: Nacion shall ryse agaynst nacion and kingdom agaynst kyngdome
11 and greate erthquakes shall be in all quarters and honger and pestilence: and fearfull thinges. And greate signes shall therbe from heven.
12 But before all these they shall laye their hondes on you and persecute you delyueringe you vp to the sinagoges and into preson and bringe you before kynges and rulers for my names sake.
13 And this shall chaunce you for a testimoniall.
14 Let it sticke therfore faste in youre hertes not once to stody before what ye shall answere:
15 for I will geve you a mouth and wisdome where agaynste all youre adversarys shall not be able to speake nor resist.
16 Ye and ye shalbe betrayed of youre fathers and mothers and of youre brethren and kynsmen and lovers aud some of you shall they put to deeth.
17 And hated shall ye be of all men for my names sake.
18 Yet ther shall not one heer of youre heedes perisshe.
19 With youre pacience possesse youre soules.
20 And when ye se Ierusalem beseged with an hoste then vnderstonde that the desolacio of the same is nye.
21 Then let them which are in Iewrye flye to the mountaynes. And let them which are in the middes of it departe oute. And let not them that are in other countreis enter ther in.
22 For these be the dayes of vengeance to fulfill all that are writte.
23 But wo be to them that be with chylde and to them that geve sucke in those dayes: for ther shalbe greate trouble in the londe and wrath over all this people.
24 And they shall fall on the edge of the swearde and shalbe leed captive into all nacions. And Ierusalem shalbe trooden vnder fote of the gentyls vntyll the tyme of the gentyls be fulfilled.
25 And ther shalbe signes in the sunne ad in the mone and in the starres: and in ye erth the people shalbe in soche perplexite yt they shall not tell which waye to turne them selves. The see and the waters shall roore
26 and menes hertes shall fayle them for feare and for lokinge after thoose thinges which shall come on the erth. For the powers of heve shall move.
27 And then shall they se the sonne of ma come in a clowde with power and greate glory.
28 When these thinges begyn to come to passe: then loke vp and lifte vp youre heddes for youre redemcion draweth neye.
29 And he shewed the a similitude: beholde ye fygge tree and all other trees
30 when they shute forth their buddes ye se and knowe of youre awne selves that sommer is then nye at hod.
31 So lyke wyse ye (when ye se these thinges come to passe) vnderstonde that the kyngdome of God is neye.
32 Verely I saye vnto you: this generacion shall not passe tyll all be fulfilled.
33 Heaven and erth shall passe: but my wordes shall not passe.
34 Take hede to youre selves lest youre hertes be overcome with surfettinge and dronkennes and cares of this worlde: and that that daye come on you vnwares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that sit on the face of the erthe.
36 Watche therfore continually and praye that ye maye obtayne grace to flye all this that shall come and that ye maye stonde before the sonne of man.
37 In the daye tyme he taught in the temple and at night he went out and had abydinge in the mount olivete.
38 And all the people came in the morninge to him in the temple for to heare him.
