New Testament in a Year
21 1 The widow’s liberality above her riches. 5 Of the time of the destruction of the Temple, 19 and Jerusalem. 25 The signs going before the last judgment.
1 And (A)[a]as he beheld, he saw the rich men which cast their gifts into the treasury.
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow which cast in thither two mites:
3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all.
4 For they all have of their superfluity cast into the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
5 (B)[b]Now as some spake of the Temple, how it was garnished with goodly stones, and with [c]consecrated things, he said,
6 Are these the things that ye look upon? the days will come wherein a stone shall not be left upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.
7 Then they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign shall there be when these things shall come to pass?
8 (C)And he said, Take heed, that ye be not deceived: for many will come [d]in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and the time draweth near: follow ye not them therefore.
9 [e]And when ye hear of wars and seditions, be not afraid: for these things must first come, but the end followeth not by and by.
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,
11 (D)And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and hunger, and pestilence, and fearful things, and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the assemblies, and into prisons, and bring you before Kings and rulers for my Name’s sake.
13 And this shall turn to you, for a [f]testimonial.
14 (E)Lay it up therefore in your hearts, that ye cast not beforehand what ye shall answer.
15 For I will give you a mouth, and wisdom where against all your adversaries shall not be able to speak nor resist.
16 Yea, ye shall be betrayed also of your parents and of your brethren, and kinsmen, and friends, and some of you shall they put to death.
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my Name’s sake.
18 (F)Yet there shall not one hair of your heads perish.
19 By your patience [g]possess your souls.
