Mark 12:35-44

35While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he said, “How is it that the experts in the law say that the Christ is David’s son?

36David himself, by the Holy Spirit, said, ‘The Lord said to my lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.”’

37If David himself calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” And the large crowd was listening to him with delight.

38In his teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the experts in the law. They like walking around in long robes and elaborate greetings in the marketplaces,

39and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40They devour widows’ property, and as a show make long prayers. These men will receive a more severe punishment.”

41Then he sat down opposite the offering box, and watched the crowd putting coins into it. Many rich people were throwing in large amounts.

42And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, worth less than a penny.

43He called his disciples and said to them, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the offering box than all the others.

44For they all gave out of their wealth. But she, out of her poverty, put in what she had to live on, everything she had.”
