And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces.

And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Mark 12:38-44

耶稣在教训之中说：“你们要防备文士，他们爱穿长袍游行，喜爱人在街市市场上向他们问安。

又喜爱会堂的高位，筵席上的首位。

他们侵吞寡妇的家产，假意作很长的祷告；这些人要受更重的刑罪。

”

耶稣对着银库坐着，看众人怎样投钱入库：有好一些财主，往里面投了若干的钱。

有一个寡妇来，往里投了两个小钱，就是一个大钱。

耶稣叫门徒来，说：“我实在告诉你们，这穷寡妇投入库里的，比众人所投的更多。

因为他们都是自己有余，拿出来投在里面，但这寡妇是自己不足，把她一切养生的投上了。”

《马可福音》12∶38－44］
