Mark 12:44

²how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity. ³For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,

¹⁷But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?

²He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.^3[+] He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them, ⁴for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”

⁸She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

⁶⁸Some of the heads of fathers’ households, when they came to the LORD’s house which is in Jerusalem, offered willingly for God’s house to set it up in its place. ⁶⁹They gave according to their ability into the treasury of the work sixty-one thousand darics of gold,^[+] five thousand minas^[+] of silver, and one hundred priests’ garments.

⁴³A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any,

³⁰But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’

⁶No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone as a pledge, for he takes a life in pledge.

¹⁰All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had filled it. ¹¹Whenever the chest was brought to the king’s officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance. ¹²The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the LORD’s house. They hired masons and carpenters to restore the LORD’s house, and also those who worked iron and bronze to repair the LORD’s house. ¹³So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands. They set up God’s house as it was designed, and strengthened it. ¹⁴When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, from which were made vessels for the LORD’s house, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, including spoons and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the LORD’s house continually all the days of Jehoiada.

⁷⁰Some from among the heads of fathers’ households gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand darics of gold,^[+] and five hundred thirty priests’ garments. ⁷¹Some of the heads of fathers’ households gave into the treasury of the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand two hundred minas^[+] of silver. ⁷²That which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, plus two thousand minas of silver, and sixty-seven priests’ garments.
