The Widow’s Coins

^41 (A)And Jesus sat down opposite ^(B)the treasury, and began watching how the ^[a]people were ^(C)putting ^[b]money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large amounts. ⁴² And a poor widow came and put in two ^[c]lepta coins, which amount to a ^[d]quadrans. ⁴³ Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all ^[e]the contributors to the treasury; ⁴⁴ for they all put in out of their ^[f]surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, ^[g]all she had ^(D)to live on.”

The Rich Young Ruler

^16 (A)And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do so that I may obtain ^(B)eternal life?” ¹⁷ And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but ^(C)if you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” ¹⁸ Then he *said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “^(D)You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not give false testimony; ^19 (E)Honor your father and mother; and ^(F)You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ²⁰ The young man *said to Him, “All these I have kept; what am I still lacking?” ²¹ Jesus said to him, “If you want to be ^[a]complete, go and ^(G)sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have ^(H)treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” ²² But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

²³ And Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I say to you, ^(I)it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. ²⁴ And again I say to you, ^(J)it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” ²⁵ When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, “Then who can be saved?”
