Luke 21:1-11

The Widow's Gift

1 ¹And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury.

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

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

4 for they all out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of her poverty put in all that she had ³to live on."

5 ⁴And while some were talking about the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and votive gifts, He said,

6 "As for these things which you are looking at, the days will come in which ⁵there will not be left one stone upon another which will not be torn down."

7 They questioned Him, 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, '⁶I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' ⁷Do not go after them.

9 "When you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end does not follow immediately."

Things to Come

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

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