Mark 12: 38-44 - 'The poor widow has put in more than all.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 678 (in 'To Judge the Living and the Dead') - Following in the steps of the prophets and John the Baptist, Jesus announced the judgement of the Last Day in his preaching. Then will the conduct of each one and the secrets of hearts be brought to light. Then will the culpable unbelief that counted the offer of God's grace as nothing be condemned. Our attitude to our neighbour will disclose acceptance or refusal of grace and divine love. On the Last Day Jesus will say: "Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me."

- 2444 (in 'Love for the Poor') - "The Church's love for the poor . . . is a part of her constant tradition." This love is inspired by the Gospel of the Beatitudes, of the poverty of Jesus, and of his concern for the poor. Love for the poor is even one of the motives for the duty of working so as to "be able to give to those in need" (abbreviated).

0:00.0	Hello everyone.
0:12.3	Welcome back to logical Bible study.
0:14.4	I hope you're enjoying learning new things about the Gospel of Mark.
0:17.9	And we're continuing in the Gospel of Mark today.
0:19.9	So we'll look at the text of Mark today, so we'll look at the text
0:21.2	of Chapter 12, verses 38 to 44. So if you have your Bible, grab it out, and let's take a look at the
0:28.8	text, and then we'll have a go at pulling the text apart and seeing what it means in its original
0:34.7	context, what might the literal sense be?
0:41.1	So Mark chapter 12, verses 38 to 44.
0:44.2	In his teaching, Jesus said,
0:48.4	Beware of the scribes who like to walk about in long robes,
0:51.7	to be greeted obsequiously in the market squares,
0:55.9	to take the front seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. These are the men who swallow the property of widows while making a show of lengthy prayers.
1:03.7	The more severe will be the sentence they receive. He sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the treasury,
1:13.7	and many of the rich put in a great deal. Or poor widow came and put in two small coins, the equivalent
1:21.7	of a penny. Then he called his disciples and said to them, I tell you solemnly, this poor widow has put in more than all who have contributed to the treasury.
1:33.0	For they have all put in money they had over, but she from the little she had
1:38.0	has put in everything she possessed, all she had to live on.
1:45.4	So what's been happening just prior to this?
1:48.0	So Jesus has been in the temple.
1:49.7	It's the last week of his life.
1:51.7	He's been arguing with the Pharisees and the Sadducees and the scribes, and they've all been
