16 how did you fare? ^aWhen ^{▼▼Probable reading (compare Septuagint); Hebrew Lord, since they were. When} one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty. 17 ^cI struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and with mildew and with hail, ^dyet you did not turn to me, declares the Lord. 18 ^eConsider from this day onward, ^ffrom the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since ^gthe day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, ^hconsider: 19 ⁱIs the seed yet in the barn? Indeed, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have yielded nothing. But from this day on ^jI will bless you.”

Malachi 3:9-10

9 ^kYou are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. 10 ^lBring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby ^mput me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open ⁿthe windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.

Mark 12:41-44

The Widow’s Offering

41 ^oAnd he sat down opposite ^pthe treasury and watched the people ^qputting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. 42 And a poor widow came and put in two ^rsmall copper coins, which make a penny. ^{▼▼Greek two lepta, which make a kodrantes; a kodrantes (Latin quadrans) was a Roman copper coin worth about 1/64 of a denarius (which was a day’s wage for a laborer)} 43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, ^tthis poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her ^upoverty has put in everything she had, all ^vshe had to live on.”
