1Respiciens autem,And looking around,vidit eos qui mittebant munera sua in gazophylacium, divites.he saw the wealthy putting their donations into the offertory.

2Vidit autem et quamdam viduam pauperculam mittentem æra minuta duo.Then he also saw a certain widow, a pauper, putting in two small brass coins.

3Et dixit:And he said:Vere dico vobis,“Truly, I say to you,quia vidua hæc pauper plus quam omnes misit.that this poor widow has put in more than all the others.

4Nam omnes hi ex abundanti sibi miserunt in munera Dei:For all these, out of their abundance, have added to the gifts for God.hæc autem ex eo quod deest illi,But she, out of what she needed,omnem victum suum quem habuit, misit.has put in all that she had to live on.”

5Et quibusdam dicentibus de templo quod bonis lapidibus et donis ornatum esset,And when some of them were saying, about the temple, that it was adorned with excellent stones and gifts,dixit:he said,

6Hæc quæ videtis,“These things that you see,venient dies in quibus non relinquetur lapis super lapidem,the days will arrive when there will not be left behind stone upon stone,qui non destruatur.which is not thrown down.”

7Interrogaverunt autem illum,Then they questioned him,dicentes:saying:Præceptor,“Teacher,quando hæc erunt,when will these things be?et quod signum cum fieri incipient?And what will be the sign when these things will happen?”

8Qui dixit:And he said:Videte ne seducamini:“Be cautious, lest you be seduced.multi enim venient in nomine meo,For many will come in my name,dicentes quia ego sum:saying: ‘For I am he,’ and,et tempus appropinquavit:‘The time has drawn near.’ And so,nolite ergo ire post eos.do not choose to go after them.

9Cum autem audieritis prælia et seditiones,And when you will have heard of battles and seditions,nolite terreri:do not be terrified.oportet primum hæc fieri,These things must happen first.sed nondum statim finis.But the end is not so soon.”

10Tunc dicebat illis:Then he said to them:Surget gens contra gentem,“People will rise up against people,et regnum adversus regnum.and kingdom against kingdom.

11Et terræmotus magni erunt per loca,And there will be great earthquakes in various places,et pestilentiæ,and pestilences,et fames,and famines,terroresque de cælo,and terrors from heaven;et signa magna erunt.and there will be great signs.

12Sed ante hæc omnia injicient vobis manus suas,But before all these things,et persequentur tradentes in synagogasthey will lay their hands on you and persecute you,et custodias,handing you over to synagogues and into custody,trahentes ad regesdragging you before kings and governors,et præsides propter nomen meum:because of my name.

13continget autem vobis in testimonium.And this will be an opportunity for you to give testimony.

14Ponite ergo in cordibus vestris non præmeditari quemadmodum respondeatis:Therefore, set this in your hearts: that you should not consider in advance how you might respond.

15ego enim dabo vobis os et sapientiam,For I will give to you a mouth and wisdom,cui non poterunt resistere et contradicere omnes adversarii vestri.which all your adversaries will not be able to resist or contradict.

16Trademini autem a parentibus,And you will be handed over by your parents,et fratribus,and brothers,et cognatis,and relatives,et amicis,and friends.et morte afficient ex vobis:And they will bring about the death of some of you.

17et eritis odio omnibus propter nomen meum:And you will be hated by all because of my name.

18et capillus de capite vestro non peribit.And yet, not a hair of your head will perish.

19In patientia vestra possidebitis animas vestras.By your patience, you shall possess your souls.

20Cum autem videritis circumdari ab exercitu Jerusalem,Then, when you will have seen Jerusalem encircled by an army,tunc scitote quia appropinquavit desolatio ejus:know then that its desolation has drawn near.

21tunc qui in Judæa sunt, fugiant ad montes,Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,et qui in medio ejus, discedant:and those who are in its midst withdraw,et qui in regionibus, non intrent in eam,and those who are in the countryside not enter into it.

22quia dies ultionis hi sunt,For these are the days of retribution,ut impleantur omnia quæ scripta sunt.so that all things may be fulfilled, which have been written.

23Væ autem prægnantibus et nutrientibus in illis diebus!Then woe to those who are pregnant or nursing in those days.erit enim pressura magna super terram, et ira populo huic.For there will be great distress upon the land and great wrath upon this people.

24Et cadent in ore gladii,And they will fall by the edge of the sword.et captivi ducentur in omnes gentes,And they will be led away as captives into all nations.et Jerusalem calcabitur a gentibus,And Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles,donec impleantur tempora nationum.until the times of the nations are fulfilled.

25Et erunt signa in sole,And there will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars.et luna,And there will be,et stellis,on earth,et in terris pressura gentium præ confusione sonitus maris,distress among the Gentiles,et fluctuum:out of confusion at the roaring of the sea and of the waves:

26arescentibus hominibus præ timore, et exspectatione, quæ supervenient universo orbi:men withering away out of fear and out of apprehension over the things that will overwhelm the whole world.nam virtutes cælorum movebuntur:For the powers of the heavens will be moved.

27et tunc videbunt Filium hominis venientem in nube cum potestate magnaAnd then they will see the Son of man coming on a cloud,et majestate.with great power and majesty.

28His autem fieri incipientibus,But when these things begin to happen,respicite,lift up your headset levate capita vestra:and look around you,quoniam appropinquat redemptio vestra.because your redemption draws near.”

29Et dixit illis similitudinem:And he told them a comparison:Videte ficulneam,“Take notice of the fig treeet omnes arbores:and of all the trees.

30cum producunt jam ex se fructum,When presently they produce fruit from themselves,scitis quoniam prope est æstas.you know that summer is near.

31ItaSo you also,et vos cum videritis hæc fieri,when you will have seen these things happen,scitote quoniam prope est regnum Dei.know that the kingdom of God is near.

32Amen dico vobis,Amen I say to you,quia non præteribit generatio hæc,this lineage shall not pass away,donec omnia fiant.until all these things happen.

33Cælum et terra transibunt:Heaven and earth shall pass away.verba autem mea non transibunt.But my words shall not pass away.

34Attendite autem vobis,But be attentive to yourselves,ne forte graventur corda vestra in crapula,lest perhaps your hearts may be weighed down by self-indulgenceet ebrietate,and inebriationet curis hujus vitæ,and the cares of this life.et superveniat in vos repentina dies illa:And then that day may overwhelm you suddenly.

35tamquam laqueus enim superveniet in omnes qui sedent super faciem omnis terræ.For like a snare it will overwhelm all those who sit upon the face of the entire earth.

36Vigilate itaque,And so, be vigilant,omni tempore orantes,praying at all times,ut digni habeamini fugere ista omnia quæ futura sunt,so that you may be held worthy to escape from all these things, which are in the future,et stare ante Filium hominis.and to stand before the Son of man.”

37Erat autem diebus docens in templo:Now in the daytime, he was teaching in the temple.noctibus vero exiens,But truly, departing in the evening,morabatur in monte qui vocatur Oliveti.he lodged on the mount that is called Olivet.

38Et omnis populus manicabat ad eum in templo audire eum.And all the people arrived in the morning to listen to him in the temple.
