Whose Son Is the Christ?
35(A) And as(B) Jesus taught in the temple, he said, "How can the scribes say that(C) the Christ is the son of David? 36David himself,(D) in the Holy Spirit, declared,(E) "'The Lord said to my Lord,Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies(F) under your feet.'
37David himself calls him Lord. So(G) how is he his son?" And the great throng(H) heard him gladly.
Beware of the Scribes
38(I) And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces 39and have the best seats in the synagogues and(J) the places of honor at feasts, 40(K) who devour widows’ houses and(L) for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."The Widow’s Offering
41(M) And he sat down opposite(N) the treasury and watched the people(O) putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. 42And a poor widow came and put in two(P) small copper coins, which make a penny.[a] 43And he called his disciples to him and said to them, "Truly, I say to you,(Q) this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her(R) poverty has put in everything she had, all(S) she had to live on."
