| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5And while some were speaking of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said, |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6“As for these things that you see, the days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7And they asked him, “Teacher, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?” |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8And he said, “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end will not be at once.” |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name’s sake. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13This will be your opportunity to bear witness. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Settle it therefore in your minds not to meditate beforehand how to answer, |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17You will be hated by all for my name’s sake. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18But not a hair of your head will perish. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19By your endurance you will gain your lives. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it, |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22for these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and wrath against this people. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive among all nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25“And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34“But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37And every day he was teaching in the temple, but at night he went out and lodged on the mount called Olivet. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38And early in the morning all the people came to him in the temple to hear him. |
