Luke 21:1-11 ▼

1 Now He looked up and saw the wealthy putting their gifts into the temple treasury.

2 And He saw a poor widow putting in two lepta coins.

3 And He said, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;

4 for they all contributed to the offering from their surplus; but she, from her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”

5 And while some were talking about the temple, that it was decorated with beautiful stones and vowed gifts, He said,

6 “As for these things which you are observing, the days will come when there will not be left one stone upon another, which will not be torn down.”

7 They asked Him questions, saying, “Teacher, when therefore will these things happen? And what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?”

8 And He said, “See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not go after them.

9 And when you hear of wars and revolts, do not be alarmed; for these things must take place first, but the end will not follow immediately.”

10 Then He continued by saying to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,

11 and there will be massive earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrible sights and great signs from heaven.
