And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
And he said, Truthfully I say unto you, that this poor widow has cast in more than they all:

For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her destitution has cast in all the living that she had.

And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

As for these things which all of you behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

And he said, Take heed that all of you be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draws near: go all of you not therefore after them.
But when all of you 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.

But 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.
And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what all of you shall answer:

And all of you shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
And all of you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
