Mark 12:40 in Context — Mark 12
38 Il leur disait dans son enseignement: Gardez-vous des scribes, qui aiment à se promener en robes longues, et à être salués dans les places publiques;
39 qui recherchent les premiers sièges dans les synagogues, et les premières places dans les festins;
40 qui dévorent les maisons des veuves, et qui font pour l’apparence de longues prières. Ils seront jugés plus sévèrement.
41 Jésus, s’étant assis vis-à-vis du tronc, regardait comment la foule y mettait de l’argent. Plusieurs riches mettaient beaucoup.
42 Il vint aussi une pauvre veuve, elle y mit deux petites pièces, faisant un quart de sou.
