Mark 12:35-44 ▼

35 And Jesus responding spoke, teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that Christ is the son of David?

36 For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, the Lord said unto my Lord; Sit thou on my right hand, until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet!

37 Then David himself calls Him Lord; and whence is He his son? And the great multitude were hearing Him delightfully.

38 And He said to them in His teaching, Beware of the scribes, wishing to walk about in robes, and salutations in the forums,

39 and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first couches at the suppers.

40 They are those devouring the houses of widows, and making long prayers through pretext; they shall receive the greater judgment.

41 And He sitting in front of the treasury, was seeing how the multitudes are casting their money into the treasury. And many rich people were casting in much.

42 And one poor widow was casting in two mites, which is a farthing.

43 And calling His disciples to Him, He says to them, Truly I say unto you, That this poor widow has cast in more than all those casting into the treasury.

44 For all they of that which abounds unto them cast in; but she of her scarcity cast in all things so many as she had, all her living.
