Luke 21:1-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Looking up, Jesus saw rich people throwing their gifts into the collection box for the temple treasury.

2. He also saw a poor widow throw in two small copper coins worth a penny.

3. He said, "I assure you that this poor widow has put in more than them all.

4. All of them are giving out of their spare change. But she from her hopeless poverty has given everything she had to live on."

5. Some people were talking about the temple, how it was decorated with beautiful stones and ornaments dedicated to God. Jesus said,

6. "As for the things you are admiring, the time is coming when not even one stone will be left upon another. All will be demolished."

7. They asked him, "Teacher, when will these things happen? What sign will show that these things are about to happen?"

8. Jesus said, "Watch out that you aren’t deceived. Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I’m the one!’ and ‘It’s time!’ Don’t follow them.

9. When you hear of wars and rebellions, don’t be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end won’t happen immediately."
