Mark 12:39-44 American Standard Version (ASV)

39. and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:

40. they that devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation.

41. And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

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

43. And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury:

44. for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
