1. And having looked up, he saw those who did cast their gifts to the treasury--rich men,
2. and he saw also a certain poor widow casting there two mites,
3. and he said, `Truly I say to you, that this poor widow did cast in more than all;
4. for all these out of their superabundance did cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, did cast in.'
5. And certain saying about the temple, that with goodly stones and devoted things it hath been adorned, he said,
6. `These things that ye behold--days will come, in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.'
7. And they questioned him, saying, `Teacher, when, then, shall these things be? and what [is] the sign when these things may be about to happen?'
8. And he said, `See--ye may not be led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying--I am [he], and the time hath come nigh; go not on then after them;
9. and when ye may hear of wars and uprisings, be not terrified, for it behoveth these things to happen first, but the end [is] not immediately.'
10. Then said he to them, `Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,
11. great shakings also in every place, and famines, and pestilences, there shall be; fearful things also, and great signs from heaven there shall be;
12. and before all these, they shall lay on you their hands, and persecute, delivering up to synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and governors for my name's sake;
13. and it shall become to you for a testimony.
