Mark 12:35-44

35While Yeshua was teaching in the Temple, He said, “How is it that the Torah scholars say that the Messiah is Ben-David?

36David himself, through the Ruach ha-Kodesh, said, ‘Adonai said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

37If David himself calls Him ‘Lord,’ in what way is He his son?” And the large crowd was listening to Him with delight.

38In His teaching He said, “Watch out for the Torah scholars, who like to walk around in long robes. They like greetings in the marketplaces,

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

40They devour widows’ houses and make long prayers as a show. These men will receive greater condemnation!”

41He sat down opposite the treasury and began watching how the people were putting money into the offering box. Many rich people were putting in a lot.

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

43Calling His disciples over, He said to them, “Amen, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those contributing to the box!

44For they all put in from their surplus; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had, her whole living.”
