Mark 12:38-44

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁸ And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes, and to be saluted in the marketplace,

³⁹ And to sit in the first chairs, in the synagogues, and to have the highest places at suppers:

⁴⁰ Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long prayer: these shall receive greater judgment.

⁴¹ And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury, and many that were rich cast in much.

⁴² And there came a certain poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.

⁴³ And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury.

⁴⁴ For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living.
