1And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
5¶ And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 7And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? 8And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 9But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. 10Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. 12But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. 13And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 14Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 15For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 16And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 17And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. 18But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 19In your patience possess ye your souls. 20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25¶ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. 29And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 30When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 31So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 32Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 33Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34¶ And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 37And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. 38And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
穷寡妇的奉献
1耶稣抬头观看，见有钱人正把捐项投进奉献箱里， 2又见一个穷寡妇投进两个小铜钱， 3就说：“我实在告诉你们，这位穷寡妇奉献的比其他人都多。 4因为他们不过奉献了自己剩余的，但这穷寡妇却奉献了她赖以为生的一切。”
预言将来的事
5有些人正在谈论由精美的石头和珍贵的供物所装饰的圣殿， 6耶稣说：“你们现在所见到的，将来有一天要被完全拆毁，找不到两块叠在一起的石头。”
7他们问：“老师，这些事什么时候会发生呢？发生的时候有什么预兆呢？”
8耶稣回答说：“你们要小心提防，不要被迷惑。因为将来会有许多人冒我的名来，说，‘我就是基督’，或说，‘时候到了’，你们切勿跟从他们。 9你们听见打仗和叛乱的事，不要害怕，因为这些事一定会先发生，但末日将不会立刻来临。”
10耶稣接着说：“民族将与民族互斗，国家将与国家相争， 11将有大地震，各处将有饥荒和瘟疫，天上也将出现恐怖的景象和大异兆。
12“这些事情出现之前，人们要拘捕你们，迫害你们，把你们押到会堂和监牢，你们将为了我的名而被君王和官长审问。 13那时，正是你们为我做见证的好机会。 14你们要立定心志，不要为怎样申辩而忧虑， 15因为我会赐给你们口才、智慧，使你们的仇敌全无反驳的余地。 16你们将被父母、弟兄、亲戚、朋友出卖，你们有些人会被他们害死。 17你们将为我的名而被众人憎恨， 18但你们连一根头发也不会失落。 19你们只要坚忍到底，必能保全自己的灵魂。
20“你们看见耶路撒冷被重兵包围时，就知道它被毁灭的日子快到了。 21那时，住在犹太地区的人要赶快逃到山上去，住在城里的人要跑到城外，住在乡村的人不要进城， 22因为那是报应的日子，要应验圣经的全部记载。 23那时，孕妇和哺育婴儿的母亲们可就遭殃了！因为将有大灾难降在这地方，烈怒要临到这些人民。 24他们要死在刀剑之下，要被掳到外国去。耶路撒冷要被外族人蹂躏，直到外族人肆虐的日期满了为止。
25“日月星辰必显出异兆，怒海汹涌、波涛翻腾，令各国惊恐不安。 26天体必震动，人类想到世界要面临的事都吓得魂不附体。 27那时，他们要看见人子驾着云、带着能力和极大的荣耀降临。 28当这些事发生时，你们要昂首挺胸，因为你们蒙救赎的日子近了。”
警醒祷告
29耶稣又讲了一个比喻：“看看无花果树和其他树木吧。 30当你们看见树木发芽长叶时，就知道夏天近了。 31同样，当你们看见这些事情发生时，就知道上帝的国近了。
32“我实在告诉你们，这个世代还没有过去，这一切都要发生。 33天地都要消逝，但我的话永不消逝。
34“你们要小心，不要被宴乐、醉酒和人生的挂虑所拖累，免得那日子像网罗般突然临到你们， 35因为那日子将要这样临到世上每一个人。 36你们要时刻警醒，常常祷告，使你们能逃过这一切将要发生的灾难，并能站在人子面前。”
37耶稣每天在圣殿里讲道，晚上则到城外的橄榄山上过夜。 38百姓一早都赶去圣殿听祂的教导。
