10So he arose and went to Zarephath;and when he came to the gate of the city,behold, a widow was there gathering sticks.He called to her and said,“Please get me a little water in a jar,that I may drink.”

11As she was going to get it,he called to her and said,“Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”

12She said, “As the Lord your God lives,I don’t have anything baked,but only a handful of meal in a jarand a little oil in a jar.Behold, I am gathering two sticks,that I may go in and bake it for me and my son,that we may eat it, and die.”

13Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid.Go and do as you have said;but make me a little cake from it first,and bring it out to me,and afterward make some for you and for your son.14For the Lord, the God of Israel,says, ‘The jar of meal will not run out,and the jar of oil will not fail,until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth.’”

15She went and did according to the saying of Elijah;and she, he, and her household ate many days.16The jar of meal didn’t run outand the jar of oil didn’t fail,according to the Lord’s word,which he spoke by Elijah.

7who executes justice for the oppressed;who gives food to the hungry.The Lord frees the prisoners.

8The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.The Lord raises up those who are bowed down.The Lord loves the righteous.9The Lord preserves the foreigners.

9He upholds the fatherless and widow,but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.10The Lord will reign forever;your God, O Zion, to all generations.Praise the Lord!

24For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands,which are representations of the true,but into heaven itself,now to appear in the presence of God for us;25nor yet that he should offer himself often,as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,26or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world.But now once at the end of the ages,he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.27Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once,and after this, judgment,28so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many,will appear a second time,not to deal with sin,but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

38In his teaching he said to them,“Beware of the scribes,who like to walk in long robes,and to get greetings in the marketplaces,39and to get the best seats in the synagoguesand the best places at feasts,40those who devour widows’ houses,and for a pretense make long prayers.These will receive greater condemnation.”

41Jesus sat down opposite the treasuryand saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury.Many who were rich cast in much.42A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins,which equal a quadrans coin.43He called his disciples to himself and said to them,“Most certainly I tell you,this poor widow gave more than all thosewho are giving into the treasury,44for they all gave out of their abundance,but she, out of her poverty,gave all that she had to live on.”
