1 Mirando a su alrededor, Jesús observaba a las personas ricas y cómo daban sus ofrendas en la caja de recolección.
1 He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 También vio a una viuda muy pobre que dio dos monedas pequeñas.
2 He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
3 “Les aseguro”, dijo él, “que esta pobre viuda acaba de dar más que todos los demás juntos.
3 He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
4 Todos ellos dieron una parte de la riqueza que tienen, pero ella dio, de su pobreza, lo único que tenía para vivir”.
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 Algunos de los que estaban allí hablaban sobre el Templo, sobre sus finos acabados y las hermosas ofrendas que se habían donado. Pero Jesús dijo:
5 As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6 “Respecto a las cosas que están mirando… viene el tiempo cuando no quedará piedra sobre piedra; ¡todo será destruido!”
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 “Maestro, ¿cuándo sucederá esto?” le preguntaron. “¿Cuál será la señal de que estas cosas están a punto de ocurrir?
7 They asked him, “Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
8 “Asegúrense que nadie los engañe”, les advirtió Jesús. “Muchas personas vendrán afirmando que soy yo, diciendo, ‘¡Aquí estoy!’ y ‘¡Ha llegado la hora!’ pero no los sigan.
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 Cuando oigan que hay guerras y revoluciones, no se asusten, porque estas cosas tienen que suceder primero, pero el fin no vendrá enseguida”.
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.”
10 “Las naciones se pelearán unas contra otras, y los reinos unos contra otros”, les dijo.
10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 “Habrá grandes terremotos, hambres, y enfermedades contagiosas en muchos lugares, y muchas señales extraordinarias aparecerán en el cielo, y serán aterrorizadoras.
11 There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12 Pero antes de que todo esto suceda, ellos los tomarán a ustedes por la fuerza y los perseguirán. Los arrastrarán ante las sinagogas y los pondrá en prisión, los llevarán a juicio ante reyes y gobernantes por mi causa.
12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
13 Pero esto resultará siendo una oportunidad para que ustedes hablen por mí delante ellos.
13 It will turn out as a testimony for you.
14 Así que decidan de antemano no preocuparse por cómo van a defenderse,
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
15 pues yo les daré palabras de sabiduría que sus enemigos no podrán rebatir o contradecir.
15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
16 Ustedes serán entregados incluso por sus padres, hermanos, parientes y amigos, y ellos los matarán.
16 You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
17 Todos los aborrecerán por mi causa.
17 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
18 Pero ni un solo cabello de sus cabezas se perderá.
18 And not a hair of your head will perish.
19 Si permanecen firmes, ganarán sus vidas.
19 “By your endurance you will win your lives.
20 “Sin embargo, cuando vean a Jerusalén rodeada por ejércitos, entonces sabrán que su destrucción está cerca.
20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
21 Aquellos que estén en Judea deben huir a las montañas, y los que estén en Jerusalén deben partir, y los que estén en el campo no deben ir a la ciudad.
21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.
22 Porque estos son días de castigo, cumpliendo todo lo que está escrito.
22 For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 “¡Cuán duro será para aquellas que estén embarazadas o amamantando hijos en ese tiempo! Porque pronto viene la tribulación sobre la tierra y el castigo contra este pueblo.
23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath to this people.
24 Serán asesinados con espada y llevados como prisioneros a todas las naciones. Jerusalén será pisoteada por las naciones extranjeras hasta que se haya cumplido su tiempo.
24 They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 “Habrá señales en el sol, la luna y las estrellas, y sobre la tierra las naciones estarán en aflicción, confundidas por el mar rugiente y las mareas.
25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;
26 La gente desmayará de temor, aterrorizados por lo que está sucediendo en el mundo, porque las potencias del cielo serán sacudidas.
26 men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 Entonces verán el Hijo del hombre viniendo en una nube con poder y gran gloria.
27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Pero cuando ocurran estas cosas, levántense y miren hacia arriba, porque pronto serán salvados”.
28 But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
29 Entonces les contó este relato a manera de ilustración: “Miren la higuera, o cualquier otro árbol.
29 He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.
30 Cuando ven que salen sus hojas, ustedes no necesitan que alguien les diga que se acerca el verano.
30 When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
31 De la misma manera, cuando ustedes vean ocurrir estas cosas, no será necesario que les digan que el reino de Dios está cerca.
31 Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
32 Les aseguro que esta generación no llegará a su fin antes de que todo esto ocurra.
32 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
33 El cielo y la tierra llegarán a su fin, pero no mi palabra.
33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
34 “Estén alerta para que no se distraigan en fiestas o emborrachándose o por las preocupaciones de esta vida, y entonces este día los tome por sorpresa como si fuera una trampa.
34 “So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.
35 Pues este día vendrá sobre todos los que vivan sobre la faz de la tierra.
35 For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
36 Manténganse despiertos y oren, para que puedan escapar de todas las cosas que sucederán y estén en pie ante el Hijo del hombre”.
36 Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 Todos los días Jesús enseñaba en el Templo, y todas las noches iba y se quedaba en el Monte de los Olivos.
37 Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.
38 Y todas las personas venían temprano en la mañana para escucharlo en el Templo.

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.

… continually upon every occasion, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day shall come upon you unawares; for as a snare shall it come upon all dwelling upon the face of the earth." "Let your loins, therefore, be girded about, and your lights burning, and ye like to …
