God's Word Translation

Mark 12:38-41 God's Word Translation (GW)

38. As he taught, he said, “Watch out for the experts in Moses’ Teachings! They like to walk around in long robes, to be greeted in the marketplaces,

39. and to have the front seats in synagogues and the places of honor at dinners.

40. They rob widows by taking their houses and then say long prayers to make themselves look good. The experts in Moses’ Teachings will receive the most severe punishment.”

41. As Jesus sat facing the temple offering box, he watched how ⌊much⌋ money people put into it. Many rich people put in large amounts.
