He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow, who cast in two mites.
He saw a certain poor widow casting in two lepta.
3 And he said: Truly I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than any one.

"As for these things which you see, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down."

8 And he said to them: See, that ye be not deceived; for many will come in my name, and will say: I am Messiah and the time is near. But go ye not after them.

9 And when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not afraid; for these things are previously to take place, but the end is not yet come.

10 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
