12 [12:35]And Jesus answered and said, teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? [12:36]David himself said, by the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool. [12:37]David himself calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the great multitude heard him gladly. 13 [12:38]And he said to them in his teaching, Beware of the scribes who desire to walk in long robes, and desire salutations in the markets, [12:39]and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at feasts; [12:40]who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers. They shall receive a greater judgment. 14 [12:41]And sitting opposite to the treasury, he observed how the multitude cast copper into the treasury. And many rich men cast in much; [12:42]and one poor widow came and cast in two lepta, which is a quadrans [4 mills]. [12:43] And calling his disciples, he said to them, I tell you truly, that this poor widow has cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury. [12:44]For all [others] have cast in of their abundance; but she of her want has cast in all that she had her entire living. CHAPTER XII. CHRIST PREDICTING THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM, AND OF THE JEWISH COMMONWEALTH. 1 [13:1]AND as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, Teacher, see what stones, and what buildings! [13:2]And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down. [13:3]And as he sat on the mount of Olives, opposite to the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, asked him privately, [13:4]Tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished? [13:5]And Jesus said to them, See that no man deceives you; [13:6]for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [the Christ], and shall deceive many. [13:7]And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not afraid, for these things must be; but the end is not yet. [13:8]For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in [different] places, and there shall be famines. These are the beginnings of sorrows. 2 [13:9]But take heed to yourselves; they shall deliver you up to Sanhedrims, and you shall be beaten in synagogues, and shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them. [13:10]And the good news must first be preached to all nations. [13:11]And when they deliver you to afflictions, be not anxious beforehand what you shall say; but whatever is given you in that hour, this speak; for it is not you that speak, but the Holy Spirit. [13:12]And brother shall deliver brother to death, and father, son; and children shall rise up against their parents and kill them; [13:13]and you shall be hated by all on my account; but he that endures to the end shall be saved.
