38 In His teaching {didachē} Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces (town square), 39 and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 40 They defraud widows of their houses \They devour widows’ houses/, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation. 41 As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts. 42 Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius \put in two lepta, which is a kodrantēs/. 43 Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you⁺, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury. 44 For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.
