38and he was saying to them in his teaching, `Beware of the scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places,
39and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in suppers,
40who are devouring the widows` houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these shall receive more abundant judgment.`
41And Jesus having sat down over-against the treasury, was beholding how the multitude do put brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much,
42and having come, a poor widow did put in two mites, which are a farthing.
43And having called near his disciples, he saith to them, `Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath put in more than all those putting into the treasury;
44for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, all that she had put in -- all her living.`
