And his disciples heard it. 15 T And k they come to Jerusalem and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves: man should carry any vessel through 16 And would not suffer that any the temple. 17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, m My house shall be 1 called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den n of thieves. 18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how Forgiveness of our enemies.

But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a penny, that I may see it. 16 And they brought it.

And the common people heard him gladly. 38 And he said unto them fin his doctrine, Beware g of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the market-places, 39 And h the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: 40 Which devour widows' houses, i and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation. 41 T And k Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast 2 money into the treasury and many that were rich cast in much. 42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two 3 mites, which make a farthing. 43 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: 44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; m but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all n her living.
