He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury;
2
and he saw a poor widow put in two copper coins.
3
And he said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them;
4
for they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all the living that she had."
5
And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said,
6
"As for these things which you see, the days will come when there shall not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down."
7
And they asked him, "Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign when this is about to take place?"
8
And he said, "Take heed 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
And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified; for this must first take place, but the end will not be at once."
