1 As he beheld, he sawe the ryche men whiche caste their gyftes into the treasurie. 2 He saw also a certaine poore wydowe, which caste in thyther two unites. 3 And he sayde, Of a trueth I say vnto you, that this poore wydowe hath put in more then they all. 4 For they all haue of their superfluitie added vnto the offerynges of God: but she of her penurie hath cast in al the substaunce that she had. 5 And vnto some, that spake of the temple, howe it was garnisshed with goodlie stones and gyftes, he sayde. 6 Are these the thynges whiche ye loke vpo? The dayes wyll come, in ye which there shall not be left one stone vpo another, that shall not be throwen downe. 7 And they asked him, saying: Maister when shall these thynges be? and what signe wyll there be, when these thynges shall come to passe? 8 And he sayde: Take heede, that ye be not deceaued. For many shall come in my name, saying I am Christe, and the tyme draweth neare. Folowe ye them not therfore. 9 But when ye heare of warres, and seditios, be not afraide: For these thinges must first come to passe, but the ende foloweth not by and by. 10 Then sayde he vnto them: Nation shall ryse agaynst nation, & kyngdome agaynst kyngdome. 11 And great earthquakes shalbe in diuers places, and hunger, and pestilence, and fearefull thynges, and great signes shall there be from heauen.
