1 And he looked up and saw the rich casting their gifts into the treasury;
2 but he saw also a certain poor widow casting therein two mites.
3 And he said, Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow has cast in more than all;
4 for all these out of their abundance have cast into the gifts {of God}; but she out of her need has cast in all the living which she had.
5 And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and consecrated offerings, he said,
6 {As to} these things which ye are beholding, days are coming in which there shall not be left stone upon stone which shall not be thrown down.
7 And they asked him saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be; and what {is} the sign when these things are going to take place?
8 And he said, See that ye be not led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying, *I* am {he}, and the time is drawn nigh: go ye not {therefore} after them.
9 And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end is not immediately.
10 Then he said to them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
11 there shall be both great earthquakes in different places, and famines and pestilences; and there shall be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
12 But before all these things they shall lay their hands upon you and persecute you, delivering {you} up to synagogues and prisons, bringing {you} before kings and governors on account of my name;
13 but it shall turn out to you for a testimony.
14 Settle therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand {your} defence,
15 for *I* will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your opposers shall not be able to reply to or resist.
16 But ye will be delivered up even by parents and brethren and relations and friends, and they shall put to death {some} from among you,
17 and ye will be hated of all for my name's sake.
18 And a hair of your head shall in no wise perish.
19 By your patient endurance gain your souls.
20 But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed with armies, then know that its desolation is drawn nigh.
21 Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of it depart out, and those who are in the country not enter into it;
22 for these are days of avenging, that all the things that are written may be accomplished.
23 But woe to them that are with child and to them who give suck in those days, for there shall be great distress upon the land and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of {the} nations until {the} times of {the} nations be fulfilled.
25 And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity {at} the roar of the sea and rolling waves,
26 men ready to die through fear and expectation of what is coming on the habitable earth, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws nigh.
29 And he spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig-tree and all the trees;
30 when they already sprout, ye know of your own selves, {on} looking {at them}, that already the summer is near.
31 So also *ye*, when ye see these things take place, know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall in no wise pass away until all come to pass.
33 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
34 But take heed to yourselves lest possibly your hearts be laden with surfeiting and drinking and cares of life, and that day come upon you suddenly unawares;
35 for as a snare shall it come upon all them that dwell upon the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch therefore, praying at every season, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 And by day he was teaching in the temple, and by night, going out, he remained abroad on the mountain called {the mount} of Olives;
38 and all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
1 耶稣抬眼看见有钱的人把奉献投入奉献箱。
2 他又看见一个穷寡妇, 投入两个小钱,
3 就说: "我实在告诉你们, 这个穷寡妇所投的, 比众人投的更多。
4 因为这些人都是把自己剩余的投进去作奉献, 这寡妇是自己不足, 却把所有养生的都投进去了。"
5 有人在谈论圣殿, 是用美丽的石头和供物装饰的。耶稣说:
6 "你们看见的这些, 到了日子, 必没有一块石头留在另一块石头上面, 每一块都要拆下来。"
7 那些人问他: "老师, 什么时候会有这些事呢?这些事要发生的时候, 有什么预兆呢?"
8 他说: "你们要小心, 不要被人迷惑。因为有许多人要来, 假冒我的名说: ‘我就是基督’, 又说: ‘时候近了。’你们不要跟从这些人。
9 你们要听见战乱和暴动, 但不要惊慌, 因为这些事是必先发生的, 不过结局却不会立刻就到。"
10 过了一会儿, 耶稣又对他们说: "一个民族要起来攻打另一个民族, 一个国家要起来攻打另一个国家。
11 到处必有大地震、饥荒和瘟疫, 天上必有又恐怖又巨大的预兆。
12 但在这一切以先, 人必为我的名, 下手拘捕、迫害你们, 把你们交给会堂, 下在监里, 甚至押到君王和总督面前,
13 结果却成了你们见证的机会。
14 所以, 你们应当心里镇定, 用不着预先思虑怎样申辩。
15 因为我必赐给你们口才、智慧, 是你们所有的敌人不能抵抗, 也不能驳倒的。
16 你们也会被父母、弟兄、亲戚、朋友出卖, 他们又要害死你们一些人。
17 你们要因我的名, 被众人恨恶,
18 然而连你们的一根头发, 也必不失落。
19 你们要以坚忍的心志, 赢取自己的灵魂。
20 "当你们看见耶路撒冷被军队围困的时候, 就知道它荒凉的日子近了。
21 那时, 住在犹太的, 应该逃到山上; 住在城里的, 要离开; 住在乡下的, 不要进城。
22 因为这是报仇的日子, 使经上的一切话都得应验。
23 当那些日子, 怀孕的和乳养孩子的有祸了! 因为大灾难要临到这地, 烈怒要临到这民。
24 他们将倒在刀下, 被掳到各国, 耶路撒冷必被外族人践踏, 直到外族人的日期满足。
25 "日月星辰将有异兆; 在地上, 各国也要因着海洋波涛的咆哮而困苦不安。
26 天上的万象震动, 人因为等待即将临到世界的事, 都吓昏了。
27 那时, 他们要看见人子, 带着能力, 满有荣耀, 驾着云降临。
28 一有这些事, 你们就当挺身昂首, 因为你们的救赎近了。"
29 耶稣又给他们讲了一个比喻: "你们看看无花果树和各样的树。
30 它们什么时候发芽, 你们看见了, 就知道夏天近了。
31 同样, 你们什么时候看见这些事发生, 也应该知道 神的国近了。
32 我实在告诉你们, 这一切都必定发生, 然后这世代才会过去。
33 天地都过去, 但我的话决不会废去。
34 "你们应当自己小心, 免得在贪食醉酒和生活的挂虑压住你们的心的时候, 那日子突然临到你们,
35 正如网罗临到全地的所有居民。
36 你们要时刻警醒, 常常祈求, 好让你们能逃避这一切要发生的事, 可以站在人子面前。"
37 耶稣白天在殿里教导人, 晚上就到橄榄山上去过夜。
38 群众清早起来上圣殿, 到他那里要听他讲道。
