1 respiciens autem vidit eos qui mittebant munera sua in gazofilacium divites
And as he behelde, he sawe the rich men, which cast their giftes into the treasurie.
2 vidit autem et quandam viduam pauperculam mittentem aera minuta duo
And he sawe also a certaine poore widowe which cast in thither two mites:
3 et dixit vere dico vobis quia vidua haec pauper plus quam omnes misit
And he sayd, Of a trueth I say vnto you, that this poore widowe hath cast in more then they all.
4 nam omnes hii ex abundanti sibi miserunt in munera Dei haec autem ex eo quod deest illi omnem victum suum quem habuit misit
For they all haue of their superfluitie cast into the offerings of God: but she of her penurie hath cast in all the liuing that she had.
5 et quibusdam dicentibus de templo quod lapidibus bonis et donis ornatum esset dixit
Nowe as some spake of the Temple, how it was garnished with goodly stones, and with consecrate things, he sayd,
6 haec quae videtis venient dies in quibus non relinquetur lapis super lapidem qui non destruatur
Are these ye things that ye looke vpon? the dayes will come wherein a stone shall not be left vpon a stone, that shall not be throwen downe.
7 interrogaverunt autem illum dicentes praeceptor quando haec erunt et quod signum cum fieri incipient
Then they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what signe shall there be when these things shall come to passe?
8 qui dixit videte ne seducamini multi enim venient in nomine meo dicentes quia ego sum et tempus adpropinquavit nolite ergo ire post illos
And he sayd, Take heede, that ye be not deceiued: for many will come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and the time draweth neere: follow ye not them therefore.
9 cum autem audieritis proelia et seditiones nolite terreri oportet primum haec fieri sed non statim finis
And when ye heare of warres and seditions, be not afraid: for these things must first come, but the ende foloweth not by and by.
10 tunc dicebat illis surget gens contra gentem et regnum adversus regnum

11 terraemotus magni erunt per loca et pestilentiae et fames terroresque de caelo et signa magna erunt
And great earthquakes shall be in diuers places, and hunger, and pestilence, and fearefull things, and great signes shall there be from heauen.
12 sed ante haec omnia inicient vobis manus suas et persequentur tradentes in synagogas et custodias trahentes ad reges et praesides propter nomen meum
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, deliuering you vp to the assemblies, and into prisons, and bring you before Kings and rulers for my Names sake.

14 ponite ergo in cordibus vestris non praemeditari quemadmodum respondeatis

16 trademini autem a parentibus et fratribus et cognatis et amicis et morte adficient ex vobis

20 cum autem videritis circumdari ab exercitu Hierusalem tunc scitote quia adpropinquavit desolatio eius

22 quia dies ultionis hii sunt ut impleantur omnia quae scripta sunt

Then there shalbe signes in the sunne, and in the moone, and in the starres, and vpon the earth trouble among the nations with perplexitie: the sea and the waters shall roare.
26 arescentibus hominibus prae timore et expectatione quae supervenient universo orbi nam virtutes caelorum movebuntur

33 caelum et terra transibunt verba autem mea non transient
