¶ The .xxj. Chapter. ¶ Chryst commendeth the poore wyddow, telleth of the destruccion of Ierusalem, of false teachers, of the tokens ∧ troubles for to come, of the ende of the worlde, and of hys awne commynge.

A   As he behelde, note he sawe the ryche men, whych cast in their offeringes into the treasury. He sawe also a certyane poore wyddowe, whych cast in thyther two mytes. And he sayde: of a trueth I saye vnto you, note that thys poore wyddow hath put in moare then they all. For they all haue of theyr superfluyte added vnto the offerynges of God: but she, of her penury hath cast in all the substaunce that she had.

And vnto some that spake of the temple, how it was garnysshed with goodly stones and Iewels, he sayde. noteThe dayes wyll come, in the which (of these thynges which ye se) there shall not be lefte one stone vp&obar; another, þt; shall not be thorow&ebar; doune. And they asked hym sayinge: B   Master, when shall these thynges be, and what sygne wyll ther be when soch thynges come to passe?

And he sayde: note take hede, that ye be not deceaued. For note many shall come in my name, and saye that they are Chryst: and the tyme draweth neare. Folowe ye not th&ebar; therfore. But when ye heare of warres and sedicions, be not afrayed. For these thynges must first come to passe, but the ende foloweth not by and by. Then sayde he vnto them: note Nacion shall ryse agaynst nacion, ∧ kyngdome agaynst kyngdome, and greate erthquakes shalbe in all places, and honger, and pestilence, ∧ fearfull thinges. C   And greate sygnes shall ther be from heauen.

But before all these, note they shall laye h&abar;des on you, and persecute you, delyuerynge you vp to the Synagoges ∧ into presons, ∧ shall bringe you vnto kynges ∧ rulers for my names sake. And thys shall cha&ubar;ce you for a testimoniall. Be at a sure point therfore &ibar; your hertes, not to study before, what ye shal answere: for note I wyll geue you a mouth ∧ wysdome, where agaynste, all your aduersaries

-- --

note shall not be able to speake nor resist. Moreouer ye shalbe note betrayd of your fathers and mothers ∧ brethr&ebar;, ∧ kynsfolke ∧ fr&ebar;des, and some of you shall they put to deeth. D   And hated shall ye be of all m&ebar; for my names sake, ∧ ther shall not one herre of youre head perysshe. &rhand; Possesse ye youre soule by pacience.

noteAnd wh&ebar; ye se Ierusalem beseged wyth an hoste, then be sure that the desolacyon, of the same is nye. Then let them which are in Iewrye, flye to the mo&ubar;taynes. And let th&ebar; whych are in the myddes of it, departe out. And let not them that are in other countreyes, enter therin. For these be the dayes of v&ebar;geaunce, that all thynges which are wrytt&ebar;, maye be fulfylled. But wo vnto them that be with chylde, ∧ to them that geue sucke in those dayes: E   for there shalbe greate trouble &ibar; the lande, and note wrath ouer all this people. And they shall fall thorow the edge of the swearde, and shalbe ledd awaye captyue into all nacions. And Ierusalem shalbe troden downe of the gentyls, vntyll the tyme of the gentyls be fulfylled.

&cross2; note And ther shalbe sygnes in the Sonne, and in the Moone, and in the starres: and in the erth note the people shalbe at their wyttes ende, thorow dispayre. The see and the water shall roare, and mennes hertes shall fayle them for feare, and for lokynge after those thynges which shall come on the erth. For the powers of heauen shall moue. And then shall they se the sonne of man come in a cloude with power and greate glory. When these thynges begynne to come to passe: F   then loke vp, and &lhand; lyfte vp youre heades, for youre redempcyon draweth nye.

noteAnd he shewed them a symilitude: beholde the fygge tree, and all the trees, when they shoot forth their buddes, ye se and knowe of youre awne selues, þt; sommer is then nye at hand. So lykewyse ye also (when ye se these thynges come to passe) be sure, that the kyngdome of God is nye. Uerely I saye vnto you: this generaci&obar; shall not passe, tyll all be fulfylled. Heauen and erth shall passe: but my wordes shall not passe. &cross3;

&cross2; note Take hede to your selues, lest at anye tyme youre hertes be ouercome with surfettynge and dronkennes and cares of thys lyfe, G    and so the daye come vpon you vnwares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole erth. noteWatch ye therfore contynually, and praye, that ye maye escape all these thynges that shall come, and that ye maye stande before the sonne of man. &cross3;

In the daye tyme, he taught in the temple: and at nyght, he went out, and abode in the mount that is called Olyuete. noteAnd all the people came in the mornynge to hym in the temple, for to heare hym.
