Luke 20:45-21:4

In the hearing of all the people he said to the disciples,  "Beware of the
scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love to be greeted
with respect in the marketplaces, and to have the best seats in the
synagogues and places of honor at banquets.  They devour widows' houses
and for the sake of appearance say long prayers.  They will receive the
greater condemnation."

He looked up and saw rich people putting their gifts into the treasury; he
also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.  He said, "Truly I
tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; 4 for all of
them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty
has put in all she had to live on."
