Luke 21:1-11 ▼

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

2 And he saw also a certain poor widow throw in thither two mites.

3 And he said: Of a truth, I say to you, that this poor widow has thrown in more than they all.

4 For all these, from their abundance, have thrown in among the gifts of God; but she, from her poverty, has thrown in all the living that she had.

5 And as some were saying of the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, he said:

6 As for these things which you see, 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: Teacher, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when these things come to pass?

8 He replied: Take heed that you be not deceived; for many will come in my name, saying: I am he; and, The time is near. Go not, therefore, after them.

9 But when you hear of wars, and tumults, be not terrified; for these things must first take place; but the end comes not immediately.

10 Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;

11 and there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and famines, and pestilences; and there shall be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
