Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 12,38-44.
| In the course of his teaching Jesus said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to go around in long robes and accept greetings in the marketplaces, |
| seats of honor in synagogues, and places of honor at banquets. |
| They devour the houses of widows and, as a pretext, recite lengthy prayers. They will receive a very severe condemnation.” |
| He sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. |
| A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents. |
| Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, “Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. |
| For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.” 耶稣在教导的过程中说：“你们要提防文士，他们喜欢穿着长袍在街市上走来走去接受问安， 会堂里的尊位，宴席上的尊位。 他们吞噬寡妇的房屋，并以此为借口背诵冗长的祈祷文。他们将受到非常严厉的谴责。” 他在银库对面坐下，观察群众如何把钱投进银库。许多富人投入了大量资金。 一个穷寡妇也来了，投了两个小钱，值几毛钱。 他叫门徒到自己身边，对他们说：“阿们，我告诉你们，这个可怜的寡妇所投入的比所有其他捐献者都多。 因为他们都贡献了他们的剩余财富，而她却贡献了她所有的一切，贡献了她的全部生计。” |
