21  Na ka titiro ake ia, ka kite i te hunga taonga, e maka ana i a ratou moni hoatu noa ki te takotoranga moni.

A ka kite ia i tetahi pouaru rawakore, e maka ana i nga moni nohinohi rawa e rua ki reira.

Na ka mea ia, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, nui ke ta tenei pouaru rawakore i maka ai i a ratou katoa:

Ko ratou katoa hoki e maka ana ko tetahi wahi o a ratou mea hira noa atu ki roto ki nga moni tuku noa, ko ia o tona rawakoretanga e maka ana i tona oranga katoa.

A i etahi e korero ana ki te temepara, ka oti nei te whakapaipai ki nga kohatu papai, ki nga whakahere, ka mea ia,

Na, ko enei mea e kite nei koutou, tera e tae mai nga ra e kore ai e toe tetahi kohatu i runga i tetahi kohatu, engari ka whakahoroa.

Na ka ui ratou ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, ko a hea enei mea? he aha hoki te tohu ina tata enei mea te puta?

A ka mea ia, Kia mahara kei mamingatia koutou: he tokomaha hoki e haere mai i runga i toku ingoa, e mea, Ko ahau ia: kua tata te taima: na, kei whai i muri i a ratou.

Na ka rongo koutou ki nga taua ki nga whakaoho, kaua e mataku: kua takoto hoki te tikanga mo enei mea kia matua puta mai; taihoa ia te mutunga.

10 Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, Ka whakatika tetahi iwi ki tetahi iwi, tetahi rangatiratanga ki tetahi rangatiratanga;

11 Tera hoki e puta nga ru nunui, a i nga tini wahi ka pa te matekai me nga mate uruta; me nga mea whakamataku hoki, me nga tohu nunui o te rangi.

12 A ko mua ake i enei mea katoa pa ai o ratou ringa ki a koutou, tukino ai i a koutou, tuku ai i a koutou ki nga whare whakawa, ki nga whare herehere, me te arahi i a koutou ki nga kingi, ki nga kawana, mo toku ingoa.

13 A ka waiho ki a koutou hei tohu whakaatu.

14 Na whakatatutia iho ki o koutou ngakau, kia kaua e whakaaroa wawetia ta koutou kupu e whakahoki atu ai:

15 Maku hoki e hoatu ki a koutou he mangai, he matauranga, e kore e taea te whakakahore, te pehi, e o koutou hoa whawhai katoa.

16 A ka tukua atu koutou e nga matua, e nga teina, e nga whanaunga, e nga hoa; ka whakamatea ano etahi o koutou.

17 Ka kino ano nga tangata katoa ki a koutou, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa.

18 Otiia e kore e ngaro tetahi makawe o o koutou upoko.

19 Ma te manawanui e mau ai o koutou wairua.

20 Otira ka kite koutou i Hiruharama e karapotia ana e nga taua, ko reira koutou mohio ai, kua tata tona whakangaromanga.

21 Hei reira kia oma te hunga i Huria ki nga maunga; me te hunga i waenganui ona kia haere atu ki waho; kei haere hoki ki reira te hunga i nga tuawhenua.

22 Ko nga ra hoki enei o te rapunga utu, e rite ai nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi.

23 Otira, aue te mate o te hunga e hapu ana, o nga mea e whangai ana ki te u, i aua ra! e nui hoki te aitua ki te whenua, me te riri ki tenei iwi.

24 A ka hinga ratou i te mata o te hoari, ka riro parau ki nga iwi katoa: a ka takahia Hiruharama e nga tauiwi, kia rite ra ano nga wa o nga tauiwi.

25 A ka whai tohu te ra, te marama, me nga whetu, a ki runga ki te whenua he pawera no nga tauiwi, he tumatatenga ki te haruru o te moana, o te ngaru;

26 Ka whiti nga tangata i te mataku, i te manawapa ki nga mea e puta mai ana ki te ao: e ngaueue hoki nga mea kaha o nga rangi.

27 KO reira ratou kite ai i te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i te kapua, me te kaha, me te kororia nui.

28 A, no ka timata enei mea te puta, titiro ake, kia ara hoki o koutou matenga; ka tata hoki to koutou whakaoranga.

29 Na ka korerotia e ia tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou; Titiro ki te piki, ki nga rakau katoa;

30 I te mea e pihi ana, na ka kite koutou, ka matau noa ake, kua tata te raumati.

31 Waihoki, ko koutou, ina kite i enei mea e puta ana, ka matau kua tata te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

32 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore rawa e pahemo tenei whakatupuranga, kia puta ra ano enei mea katoa.

33 E pahemo te rangi me te whenua; ko aku kupu ia e kore e pahemo.

34 Otira kia tupato ki a koutou ano, kei taimaha o koutou ngakau i te kakai, i te haurangi, i nga raruraru o te ao, a ka puta whakarere mai taua ra, ano he reti, ki a koutou:

35 Ka puta hoki ki nga tangata katoa e noho ana i te mata o te whenua katoa.

36 Mo konei ra kia mataara, i nga wa katoa kia inoi tonu, kia paingia ai koutou kia mawhiti i enei mea katoa meake nei puta, kia tu hoki i te aroaro o te Tama a te tangata.

37 A i ia ra e whakaako ana ia i roto i te temepara; a ia ia po e haere ana, ka noho i te maunga e kiia nei ko te maunga o nga Oriwa.

38 A i te atatu ka haere mai nga tangata ki a ia ki te temepara, ki te whakarongo ki a ia.

The Widow’s Offering(A)

21 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.(B) He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”(C)

The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times(D)(E)

Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another;(F) every one of them will be thrown down.”

“Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”

He 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.(G) When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”

10 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.(H) 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.(I)

12 “But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. 13 And so you will bear testimony to me.(J) 14 But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves.(K) 15 For I will give you(L) words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends,(M) and they will put some of you to death. 17 Everyone will hate you because of me.(N) 18 But not a hair of your head will perish.(O) 19 Stand firm, and you will win life.(P)

20 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies,(Q) you will know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city.(R) 22 For this is the time of punishment(S) in fulfillment(T) of all that has been written. 23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled(U) on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.(V) 26 People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.(W) 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man(X) coming in a cloud(Y) with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”(Z)

29 He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. 30 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God(AA) is near.

32 “Truly I tell you, this generation(AB) will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(AC)

34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life,(AD) and that day will close on you suddenly(AE) like a trap. 35 For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be always on the watch, and pray(AF) that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”

37 Each day Jesus was teaching at the temple,(AG) and each evening he went out(AH) to spend the night on the hill called the Mount of Olives,(AI) 38 and all the people came early in the morning to hear him at the temple.(AJ)
