37 If David called the Messiah his Lord, how can the Messiah be his son?”The large crowd enjoyed listening to Jesus teach.
38 As Jesus was teaching, he said:Guard against the teachers of the Law of Moses! They love to walk around in long robes and be greeted in the market.
39 They like the front seats in the synagogues and the best seats at banquets.
40 But they cheat widows out of their homes and pray long prayers just to show off. They will be punished most of all.
41 Jesus was sitting in the temple near the offering box and watching people put in their gifts. He noticed that many rich people were giving a lot of money.
42 Finally, a poor widow came up and put in two coins worth only a few pennies.
43 Jesus told his disciples to gather around him. Then he said:I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than all the others.
