He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2
He saw a certain poor widow casting in two lepta.
3
He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
4
for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her lack, put in all that she had to live on."

As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6
"As for these things which you see, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down."
7
They asked him, "Teacher, when therefore will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?"
8
He said, "Watch out that you don't get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I AM,' and, 'The time is at hand.' Therefore don't follow them.
9
When you hear of wars and disturbances, don't be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won't come immediately."
