1 He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury. 2 He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins. 3 He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them, 4 for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on."

5 As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said, 6 "As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down."

7 They asked him, "Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?"

8 He said, "Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them. 9 When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately."

10 Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven. 12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake. 13 It will turn out as a testimony for you. 14 Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer, 15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict. 16 You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death. 17 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake. 18 And not a hair of your head will perish.

19 "By your endurance you will win your lives.

20 "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein. 22 For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath to this people. 24 They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

25 "There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves; 26 men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near."

29 He told them a parable. "See the fig tree and all the trees. 30 When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near. 31 Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near. 32 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.

34 "So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly. 35 For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth. 36 Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man."

37 Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet. 38 All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.

1 And he looked up and saw the rich casting their gifts into the treasury.

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

3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you that this poor widow has cast in more than they all;

4 for all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God, but she out of her poverty has cast in all the living that she had.

5 And as some spoke 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 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 begin to come to pass?

8 Then he said, Take heed that ye not be deceived, for many shall come in my name, saying, I am; and the time draws near; therefore, go ye not after them.

9 But when ye shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified; for these things must first come to pass, but the end is not yet.

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

11 and there shall be 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, they shall lay their hands on you and persecute [you], delivering [you] up to the synagogues and into prisons, being brought before kings and governors for my name's sake.

13 And it shall turn out 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 kinsfolk and friends, and [some] of you they shall cause to be put to death.

17 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake.

18 But not a hair of your head shall perish.

19 In your patience ye shall possess your souls.

20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is near.

21 Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains, and let those who are in the midst of it depart out, and let not those that are in the country enter thereinto.

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

23 But woe unto those that are with child and to those 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 are fulfilled.

25 Then 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 they shall 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 draws near.

29 And he spoke unto 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 near at hand.

31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is near at hand.

32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away until all is fulfilled.

33 The heaven and the 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 excess and drunkenness and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare it shall come on all those 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 daytime 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 unto him early in the morning to hear him in the temple.:
