In context
36 For David himself saith by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my Lord: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord. And whence is he then his son? And a great multitude heard him gladly.
38 And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes and to be saluted in the marketplace,
39 And to sit in the first chairs in the synagogues and to have the highest places at suppers:
40 Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long prayer. These shall receive greater judgment.
41 And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow: and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
