The Widow’s Gift
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
1 And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury.1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.1 Looking up, Jesus saw people, especially the rich, dropping their gifts into the temple offering box.1 He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.1 And he looked up and saw the rich casting their gifts into the treasury;
2 And He saw a poor widow putting in two small copper coins.2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.2 He noticed a poor widow drop in two small coins.2 He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.2 but he saw also a certain poor widow casting therein two mites.
3 And He said, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:3 He said, "I can guarantee this truth: This poor widow has given more than all the others.3 He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,3 And he said, Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow has cast in more than all;
4 for they all out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on."4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.4 All of these people have given what they could spare. But she, in her poverty, has given everything she had to live on."4 for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on."4 for all these out of their abundance have cast into the gifts of God; but she out of her need has cast in all the living which she had.
5 And while some were talking about the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and votive gifts, He said,5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,5 Some [of the disciples] were talking about the temple complex. They noted that it was built with fine stones and decorated with beautiful gifts. So Jesus said,5 As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,5 And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and consecrated offerings, he said,
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
6 "As for these things which you are looking at, the days will come in which there will not be left one stone upon another which will not be torn down."6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.6 "About these buildings that you see-the time will come when not one of these stones will be left on top of another. Each one will be torn down."6 "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."6 As to these things which ye are beholding, days are coming in which there shall not be left stone upon stone which shall not be thrown down.
7 They questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, when therefore will these things happen? And what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?"7 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?7 The disciples asked him, "Teacher, when will this happen? What will be the sign when all this will occur?"7 They asked him, "Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?"7 And they asked him saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be; and what is the sign when these things are going to take place?
8 And He said, "See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not go after them.8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.8 Jesus said, "Be careful that you are not deceived. Many will come using my name. They will say, 'I am he!' and 'The time is near.' Don't follow them!8 He said, "Watch out that you don't get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is at hand.' Therefore don't follow them.8 And he said, See that ye be not led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying, I am he, and the time is drawn nigh: go ye not therefore after them.
9 "When you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end does not follow immediately."9 But when ye 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.9 "When you hear of wars and revolutions, don't be terrified! These things must happen first, but the end will not come immediately."9 When you hear of wars and disturbances, don't be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won't come immediately."9 And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end is not immediately.
Things to Come
10 Then He continued by saying to them, "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:10 Then Jesus continued, "Nation will fight against nation and kingdom against kingdom.10 Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.10 Then he said to them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
