And he looked up and saw the rich casting their gifts into the treasury;

1

The Widow’s Gift

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

2

but he saw also a certain poor widow casting therein two mites.

2

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

3

And he said, Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow has cast in more than all;

3

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

4

for all these out of their abundance have cast into the gifts [of God]; but she out of her need has cast in all the living which she had.

4

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

5

Temple Destruction Foretold

And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and consecrated offerings, he said,

5

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

6

[As to] these things which ye are beholding, days are coming in which there shall not be left stone upon stone which shall not be thrown down.

6

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

7

And they asked him saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be; and what [is] the sign when these things are going to take place?

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 that ye be not led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying, *I* am [he], and the time is drawn nigh: go ye not [therefore] after them.

8

And He said, “See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not go after them.

9

And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end is not immediately.

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.”

10

Witnessing to All Nations

Then he said to them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;

10

Things to Come

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

11

there shall be both great earthquakes in different places, and famines and pestilences; and there shall be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

11

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

12

But before all these things they shall lay their hands upon you and persecute you, delivering [you] up to synagogues and prisons, bringing [you] before kings and governors on account of my name;

12

“But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake.

13

but it shall turn out to you for a testimony.

13

“It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony.

14

Settle therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand [your] defence,

14

“So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves;

15

for *I* will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your opposers shall not be able to reply to or resist.

15

for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute.

16

But ye will be delivered up even by parents and brethren and relations and friends, and they shall put to death [some] from among you,

16

“But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,

17

and ye will be hated of all for my name's sake.

17

and you will be hated by all because of My name.

18

And a hair of your head shall in no wise perish.

18

“Yet not a hair of your head will perish.

19

By your patient endurance gain your souls.

19

“By your endurance you will gain your lives.

20

The Destruction of Jerusalem

But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed with armies, then know that its desolation is drawn nigh.

20

“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.

21

Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of it depart out, and those who are in the country not enter into it;

21

“Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city;

22

for these are days of avenging, that all the things that are written may be accomplished.

22

because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled.

23

But woe to them that are with child and to them who give suck in those days, for there shall be great distress upon the land and wrath upon this people.

23

“Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people;

24

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of [the] nations until [the] times of [the] nations be fulfilled.

24

and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

25

The Return of the Son of Man

And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity [at] the roar of the sea and rolling waves,

25

The Return of Christ

“There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,

26

men ready to die through fear and expectation of what is coming on the habitable earth, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

26

men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

27

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

27

“Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great glory.

28

But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws nigh.

28

“But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

29

The lesson of the Fig Tree

And he spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig-tree and all the trees;

29

Then He told them a parable: “Behold the fig tree and all the trees;

30

when they already sprout, ye know of your own selves, [on] looking [at them], that already the summer is near.

30

as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near.

31

So also *ye*, when ye see these things take place, know that the kingdom of God is near.

31

“So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near.

32

Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall in no wise pass away until all come to pass.

32

“Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place.

33

The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.

33

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

34

Be Watchful

But take heed to yourselves lest possibly your hearts be laden with surfeiting and drinking and cares of life, and that day come upon you suddenly unawares;

34

“Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;

35

for as a snare shall it come upon all them that dwell upon the face of the whole earth.

35

for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth.

36

Watch therefore, praying at every season, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

36

“But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

37

And by day he was teaching in the temple, and by night, going out, he remained abroad on the mountain called [the mount] of Olives;

37

Now during the day He was teaching in the temple, but at evening He would go out and spend the night on the mount that is called Olivet.

38

and all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.

38

And all the people would get up early in the morning to come to Him in the temple to listen to Him.
