And having looked up, He saw those who cast their gifts into the treasury—rich men,
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow throw in thither two mites.
and He also saw a certain poor widow casting two mites there,
3 And he said: Of a truth, I say to you, that this poor widow has thrown in more than they all.
and He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow cast in more than all;
4 For all these, from their abundance, have thrown in among the gifts of God; but she, from her poverty, has thrown in all the living that she had.
for all these out of their superabundance cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, cast in.”
5 And as some were saying of the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, he said:
And [as] some were speaking about the temple, that it has been adorned with good stones and devoted things, He said,
6 As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
“These things that you behold—days will come in which there will not be left a stone on a stone that will not be thrown down.”
7 And they asked him, saying: Teacher, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when these things come to pass?
And they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, when, then, will these things be? And what [is] the sign when these things may be about to happen?”
8 He replied: Take heed that you be not deceived; for many will come in my name, saying: I am he; and, The time is near. Go not, therefore, after them.
And He said, “See—you may not be led astray, for many will come in My Name, saying, I am [He], and the time has come near; do not then go on after them;
9 But when you hear of wars, and tumults, be not terrified; for these things must first take place; but the end comes not immediately.
and when you may hear of wars and uprisings, do not be terrified, for it is necessary for these things to happen first, but the end [is] not immediately.”
10 Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,
11 and there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and famines, and pestilences; and there shall be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
also great shakings, and there will be famines and pestilences in every place; also there will be fearful things and great signs from the sky;
12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues, and into prisons, after being brought before kings and governors for my name’s sake.

13 But this shall become to you the means of bearing testimony.
and it will become to you for a testimony.
14 Therefore, determine in your hearts not to meditate beforehand what you shall answer;
Settle, then, to your hearts, not to meditate beforehand to reply,
15 for I will give you a mouth, and wisdom, which all your opposers shall not be able to gainsay or withstand.
for I will give to you a mouth and wisdom that all your opposers will not be able to refute or resist.
16 But you will be delivered up by parents and brothers and relatives and friends; and some of you they will put to death;
And you will be delivered up also by parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends, and they will put [some] of you to death;
17 and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake.
and you will be hated by all because of My Name—
18 Yet a hair of your head shall not perish.
and a hair out of your head will not perish;
19 By your patient endurance, preserve your lives.
in your patience possess your souls.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and on the earth, distress of nations in perplexity; the sea and its waves roaring;
And there will be signs in sun, and moon, and stars, and on the earth distress of nations with perplexity, sea and wave roaring;
