41 And He said to them, y“How can they say that the Christ is the Son of David? 42 Now David himself said in the Book of Psalms:

z‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at My right hand,

43 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’

44 Therefore David calls Him ‘Lord’; ahow is He then his Son?”

45 bThen, in the hearing of all the people, He said to His disciples, 46 c“Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, dlove greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, 47 ewho devour widows’ houses, and for a fpretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

Christ Teaches on the Widow’s Mites

Mark 12:41–44

21 And He looked up aand saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 2 and He saw also a certain bpoor widow putting in two cmites. 1 3 So He said, “Truly I say to you dthat this poor widow has put in more than all; 4 for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings 2for God, but she out of her poverty put in eall the livelihood that she had.”

The Disciples’ Two Questions

Matt. 24:1–3; Mark 13:1–4

5 fThen, as some spoke of the temple, how it was 3adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said, 6 “These things which you see—the days will come in which gnot one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.”
