So He said, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all;
4
for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had."
5
Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said,
6
"These things which you see--the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down."
7
So they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?"
8
And He said: "Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time has drawn near.' Therefore do not go after them.
9
But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately."
10
Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11
And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
12
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake.
13
But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony.
