10He arose, and went to Sarephta. And when he was come to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman gathering sticks, and he called her, and said to her: Give me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

11And Elias said to her: Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

12And she answered: As the Lord thy God liveth, I have no bread, but only a handful of meal in a pot, and a little oil in a cruise: behold I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it, for me and my son, that we may eat it and die.

13And Elias said to her: Fear not; but go, and do as thou hast said but first make for me of the same meal a little hearth cake, and bring it to me, and after make for thyself and thy son.

14For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: The pot of meal shall not waste, nor the cruise of oil be diminished, until the day wherein the Lord will give rain upon the face of the earth.

15She went, and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day

16The pot of meal wasted not, and the cruise of oil was not diminished according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Elias.

6Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

7Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:

8The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

9The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

10The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.

24For Jesus is not entered into the Holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into Heaven itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us.

25Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the Holies every year with the blood of others:

26For then he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the world. But now once, at the end of ages, he hath appeared for the destruction of sin by the sacrifice of himself.

27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment:

28So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many. The second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation.

3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

38And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes and to be saluted in the marketplace,

39And to sit in the first chairs in the synagogues and to have the highest places at suppers:

40Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long prayer. These shall receive greater judgment.

41And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich cast in much.

42And there came a certain poor widow: and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.

43And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury.

44For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living.
