Mark 12:37–44

³⁷Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.↗

³⁸In his teaching he said to them,“Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,↗

³⁹and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts,↗

⁴⁰those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”↗

⁴¹Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.↗

⁴²A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.↗

⁴³He called his disciples to himself and said to them,“Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,↗

⁴⁴for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”↗
