Hebrews 10:11-14; Hebrews 10:19-25; Mark 12:38-44

11 Every Jewish priest performs his services every day and offers the same sacrifices many times; but these sacrifices can never take away sins.

12 Christ, however, offered one sacrifice for sins, an offering that is effective forever, and then he sat down at the right side of God.

13 There he now waits until God puts his enemies as a footstool under his feet.

14 With one sacrifice, then, he has made perfect forever those who are purified from sin.

19 We have, then, my friends, complete freedom to go into the Most Holy Place by means of the death of Jesus.

20 He opened for us a new way, a living way, through the curtain - that is, through his own body.

21 We have a great priest in charge of the house of God.

22 So let us come near to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith, with hearts that have been purified from a guilty conscience and with bodies washed with clean water.

23 Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise.

24 Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and to do good.

25 Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing. Instead, let us encourage one another all the more, since you see that the Day of the Lord is coming nearer.

38 As he taught them, he said, "Watch out for the teachers of the Law, who like to walk around in their long robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplace,

39 who choose the reserved seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts.

40 They take advantage of widows and rob them of their homes, and then make a show of saying long prayers. Their punishment will be all the worse!"

41 As Jesus sat near the Temple treasury, he watched the people as they dropped in their money. Many rich men dropped in a lot of money;

42 then a poor widow came along and dropped in two little copper coins, worth about a penny.

43 He called his disciples together and said to them, "I tell you that this poor widow put more in the offering box than all the others.

44 For the others put in what they had to spare of their riches; but she, poor as she is, put in all she had - she gave all she had to live on."
