1 And having looked up, He saw those who cast their gifts into the treasury—rich men,
1 Y MIRANDO, vió á los ricos que echaban sus ofrendas en el gazofilacio.
1 He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 and He also saw a certain poor widow casting two mites there,
2 Y vió también una viuda pobrecilla, que echaba allí dos blancas.
2 He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
3 and He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow cast in more than all;
3 Y dijo: De verdad os digo, que esta pobre viuda echó más que todos:
3 He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
4 for all these out of their superabundance cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, cast in.”
4 Porque todos estos, de lo que les sobra echaron para las ofrendas de Dios; mas ésta de su pobreza echó todo el sustento que tenía.
4 for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”
5 And [as] some were speaking about the temple, that it has been adorned with good stones and devoted things, He said,

5 As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6 “These things that you behold—days will come in which there will not be left a stone on a stone that will not be thrown down.”
6 Estas cosas que veis, días vendrán que no quedará piedra sobre piedra que no sea destruída.
6 “As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down.”
7 And they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, when, then, will these things be? And what [is] the sign when these things may be about to happen?”
7 Y le preguntaron, diciendo: Maestro, ¿cuándo será esto? ¿y qué señal [habrá] cuando estas cosas hayan de comenzar á ser hechas?
7 They asked him, “Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
8 And He said, “See—you may not be led astray, for many will come in My Name, saying, I am [He], and the time has come near; do not then go on after them;
8 El entonces dijo: Mirad, no seáis engañados; porque vendrán muchos en mi nombre, diciendo: Yo soy; y, El tiempo está cerca: por tanto, no vayáis en pos de ellos.
8 He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.
9 and when you may hear of wars and uprisings, do not be terrified, for it is necessary for these things to happen first, but the end [is] not immediately.”
9 Empero cuando oyereis guerras y sediciones, no os espantéis; porque es necesario que estas cosas acontezcan primero: mas no luego será el fin.
9 When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”

14 Settle, then, to your hearts, not to meditate beforehand to reply,
14 Poned pues en vuestros corazones no pensar antes cómo habéis de responder:

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… set aside all their possessions for the Lord's purposes, bestowing joyfully and freely not the less valuable portions of their property, since they have the hope of better things [hereafter]; as that poor widow acted who cast all her living into the treasury of God.
I hear the voice of my God commanding, let not "your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness." "Drunkenness," it is far from me; Thou wilt have mercy, that it approach not near unto me.
