Mark 12:35-44

35And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David? 36For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool. 37David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and how is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly. 38And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who love to go in long clothing, and love greetings in the marketplaces, 39And the best seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost places at feasts: 40Who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.

41And Jesus sat opposite the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.1 42And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.2 43And he called his disciples, and saith to them, Verily I say to you, That this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury: 44For all they cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all that she had, even all her living.
