Mark 12:40 in Context — Mark 12
38 Y les decía en su doctrina: Guardaos de los escribas, que quieren andar con ropas largas, y aman las salutaciones en las plazas,
39 Y las primeras sillas en las sinagogas, y los primeros asientos en las cenas;
40 Que devoran las casas de las viudas, y por pretexto hacen largas oraciones. Estos recibirán mayor juicio.
41 Y estando sentado Jesús delante del arca de la ofrenda, miraba cómo el pueblo echaba dinero en el arca: y muchos ricos echaban mucho.
42 Y como vino una viuda pobre, echó dos blancas, que son un maravedí.
