Luke 21:1-6

Listen to Luke 21:1-6

A Poor Widow’s Offering

1 And he looked up [and] saw the rich putting their gifts into the contribution box,
2 and he saw a certain poor widow putting in there two small copper coins.
3 And he said, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than all [of them].
4 For these all put [gifts] into the offering out of their abundance, but this [woman] out of her poverty put in all the means of subsistence that she had."

The Destruction of the Temple Predicted

5 And [while] some were speaking about the temple, that it was adorned with precious stones and votive offerings, he said,
6 "[As for] these [things] that you see--days will come in which not [one] stone will be left on [another] stone that will not be thrown down!"
