Mark 12:38-44Revised Standard Version |
| 12:38 As he taught, he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces,
12:39 and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets! 12:40 They devour widows’ houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” 12:41 He sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the crowd putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. 12:42 A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. 12:43 Then he called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. 12:44 For all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.” |
