Luke 21:1-11 ▼

1 And He looked up and saw the rich people bringing their gifts to the treasury:

2 and He saw also a poor widow throwing in two mites.

3 And He said, Verily I tell you, this poor widow hath put in more than they all.

4 For all these have out of their abundance contributed to the offerings of God: but she out of her penury hath given all she had.

5 And as some were speaking of the temple; how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts, He said, As for these things which ye see,

6 the days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be demolished.

7 And they asked Him, saying, Master, when shall these things be? And what will be the sign when these things shall come to pass?

8 And He said, Take heed that ye be not deceived; for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and the time is near: but do not therefore go after them.

9 And when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these must first happen; but the end will not be directly.

10 Then said He unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;

11 and there will be great earthquakes in several places, and famines, and pestilences, and fearful sights and great prodigies from heaven.
