Luke 21:1-9
Rule One: Do No Harm
1As he looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.
2He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins.
3'I tell you the truth,' he said, 'this poor widow has put in more than all the others.
4All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.'
5Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said,
6'As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.'
7'Teacher,' they asked, 'when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?'
8He replied: 'Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them.
9When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.'"
