New Testament

Mark 12:36-44 Modern English Version (MEV)

36. David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord,“Sit at My right hand,until I put Your enemiesunder Your feet.” ’

37. David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ How then is He his Son?”And the large crowd heard him gladly.

38. He said to them in His teaching, “Beware of the scribes, who love to go about in long robes and love greetings in the marketplaces,

39. and the prominent seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets,

40. who devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive greater condemnation.”

41. Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. Many who were rich put in much.

42. But a certain poor widow came and put in two mites, which make a farthing.

43. He called His disciples to Him and said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury.

44. They all contributed out of their abundance. But she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had, her entire livelihood.”
