Mark 12:38-44... Denunciation of the Scribes | The Poor Widow’s Contribution
Mark 12:38-44 Denunciation of the Scribes | The Poor Widow’s Contribution
In the course of his teaching [Jesus] said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to go around in long robes and accept greetings in the marketplaces, seats of honor in synagogues, and places of pretext, recite lengthy prayers. They receive a very severe condemnation.” He sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents. Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, “Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.”
