38 In His teaching He said, “Watch out for the Torah scholars, who like to walk around in long robes. They like greetings in the marketplaces,
39 the best seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at feasts.
40 They devour widows’ houses and make long prayers as a show. These men will receive greater condemnation!”
41 He sat down opposite the treasury and began watching how the people were putting money into the offering box. Many rich people were putting in a lot.
42 Then a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, worth less than a penny.
43 Calling His disciples over, He said to them, “Amen, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those contributing to the box!
44 For they all put in from their surplus; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had, her whole living.”
