And looking on, he saw the rich men cast their gifts into the treasury.

2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in two brass mites.

3 And he said: Verily, I say to you that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all.

4 For all these have of their abundance cast into the offerings of God: but she of her want hath cast in all the living that she had.

5 And some saying of the temple that it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said:

6 These things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down.

7 And they asked him, saying: Master, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when they shall begin to come to pass?

8 Who said: Take heed you be not seduced: for many will come in my name, saying: I am he and the time is at hand. Go ye not therefore after them.

9 And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified. These things must first come to pass: but the end is not yet presently.
