Luke 20:45-21:4

English Standard Version

Beware of the Scribes

^45 (A)And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples, ⁴⁶ “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and ^(B)the places of honor at feasts, ^47 (C)who devour widows' houses and ^(D)for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”

The Widow's Offering

21 ^(E)Jesus^[a] looked up and saw the rich ^(F)putting their gifts into ^(G)the offering box, ² and he saw a poor widow put in two ^(H)small copper coins.^{[b] 3} And he said, “Truly, I tell you, ^(I)this poor widow has put in more than all of them. ⁴ For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her ^(J)poverty put in all ^(K)she had to live on.”
