Mark 12:38-44\n\nWarning Against the Teachers of the Law\n38 As he taught, Jesus said, \u201cWatch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, 39 and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 40 They devour widows\u2019 houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.\u201d\n\nThe Widow\u2019s Offering\n41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.\n\n43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, \u201cTruly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything\u2014all she had to live on.\u201d
