The Widow’s Gift

1And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury.

2And He saw a poor widow putting in two small copper coins.

3And He said, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;

4for 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.”

5And while some were talking about the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and votive gifts, He said,

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.”

7They questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, when therefore will these things happen? And what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?”

8And 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.

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.”

15 ¶ Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheepes clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Yee shall knowe them by their fruits: Doe men gather grapes of thornes, or figges of thistles?

17 Even so, every good tree bringeth forth good fruit: but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evill fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewen downe, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdome of heaven: but he that doth the will of my father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophecied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderfull works?

23 And then wil I professe unto them, I never knew you: Depart from me, ye that worke iniquity.

24 ¶ Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I wil liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rocke:

25 And the raine descended, and the floods came, and the windes blew, and beat upon that house: and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rocke.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall bee likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the raine descended, and the floods came, and the windes blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.
