Then Yeshua looked up, and as he watched the rich placing their gifts into the Temple offering-boxes,
2
he also saw a poor widow put in two small coins.
3
He said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put in more than all the others.
4
For they, out of their wealth, have contributed money they could easily spare; but she, out of her poverty, has given all she had to live on."
5
As some people were remarking about the Temple, how beautiful its stone work and memorial decorations were, he said,
6
"The time is coming when what you see here will be totally destroyed -- not a single stone will be left standing!"
7
They asked him, "Rabbi, if this is so, when will these events take place? And what sign will show that they are about to happen?"
8
He answered, "Watch out! Don't be fooled! For many will come in my name, saying, `I am he!' and, `The time has come!' Don't go after them.
9
And when you hear of wars and revolutions, don't panic. For these things must happen first, but the end will not follow immediately."
