38. And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and to have salutations in the marketplaces,
39. and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:
40. they that devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation.
41. And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42. And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
43. And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury:
44. for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
