Luke 20:45–21:6

45 aAnd while all the people were listening, He said to the disciples,

46 “Beware of the scribes, awho like to walk around in long robes, and love respectful greetings in the market places, and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets,

47 who devour widows’ houses, and for appearance’s sake offer long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

Chapter 21

The Widow’s Gift

1 aAnd He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury.

2 And He saw a poor widow putting 1in atwo 2small copper coins.

3 And He said, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;

4 for they all out of their 1surplus put into the 2offering; but she out of her poverty put in all 3that she had ato live on.”

5 aAnd while some were talking about the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and votive gifts, He said,

6 “As for these things which you are looking at, the days will come in which athere will not be left one stone upon another which will not be torn down.”
