Luke 20:41-21:4 (NRSV)

41Then he said to them, 'How can they say that the Messiah is David's son? 42For David himself says in the
book of Psalms, "The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand, 43until I make your enemies your
footstool.'" 44David thus calls him Lord; so how can he be his son?' 45In the hearing of all the people he said
to the disciples, 46'Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love to be greeted with
respect in the marketplaces, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets.
47They devour widows' houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater
condemnation.'

He looked up and saw rich people putting their gifts into the treasury; 2he also saw a poor widow put
in two small copper coins. 3He said, 'Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of
them; 4for all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in
all she had to live on.'

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.
