Mark 12:36-44 ▼

36 for David himself saith by the Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy enemies the foot-stool for thy feet.

37 David himself therefore calleth him Lord; and whence then is he his son? And a vast multitude heard him with delight.

38 And he spake to them in the course of his teaching, Beware of the scribes, who love to go about in trailing robes, and like salutations in the places of concourse,

39 and the principal seats in the synagogues, and the first couch at suppers:

40 who devour widows? houses, and in pretence make long prayers: such shall receive greater damnation.

41 And as Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, he saw a multitude casting money into the treasury: and many who were rich cast in many pieces .

42 And one poor widow coming, cast in two mites, which is a farthing.

43 And having called his disciples, he said unto them, I tell you truly, that this poor widow hath cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury:

44 for all they have cast in of their superfluities; but she from her indigence hath cast in all that she had, even her whole substance.
