Luke 21:1-11 ▼

1 AND as he looked up, he saw some casting their gifts into the treasury who were rich.

2 And he observed also a certain widow, miserably poor, put in there two mites.

3 And he said, Of a truth I tell you that this poor widow hath put in more than all they:

4 for all they have of their superfluity cast into the oblations for God: but she out of her indigence hath cast in all the substance which she possessed.

5 And some of them talking of the temple, how adorned it was with the beautiful stone-work and the dedicated offerings, he said,

6 As for these things which ye are gazing upon, the days will come, in which one stone will not be left upon another, that shall not be utterly thrown down.

7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what is the sign, when these things are ready to come to pass?

8 Then he said, Take heed that ye be not deluded: for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the period approaches: go not therefore after them.

9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the conclusion is not immediately.

10 Then saith he unto them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

11 and great earthquakes shall be in different places, and famines, and pestilences; and in the heaven shall be frightful appearances, and mighty signs.
