Luke 21:1

Twentieth Century New Testament 1904

Looking up, Jesus saw the rich people putting their gifts into the chests for the Temple offerings.

See the chapter Copy

The Chief Priests took the pieces of silver, but they said: "We must not put them into the Temple treasury, because they are blood-money."

These are the men who rob widows of their houses, and make a pretense of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier."

These statements Jesus made in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple Courts. Yet no one arrested him, for his time had not then come.
