TRANSCRIPT
Mark 10:17-22
Jesus “was seng out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him,
“Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you call
me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not kill;
you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall
not defraud; honor your father and your mother.’” He replied and said to him, “Teacher, all of
these I have observed from my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, “You
are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treas-
ure in heaven; then come, follow me.” At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad,
for he had many possessions.”
1. Why was it hard for the rich young man to hear this teaching? 2. What possessions do we have that take us away from God or family? How could we better use those possessions so that they do not control our lives?
Mark 12:41-44
Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury.
Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth
a few cents. Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, “Amen, I say to you, this poor
widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed
from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole
livelihood.”
1. What does Jesus mean when He says the widow gave the most, even though she only gave two pennies?
2. In what ways can we give like the poor widow?
Marcos 10:17-22
Cuando Jesús estaba ya para irse, un hombre llegó corriendo y se postró delante de él.
“Maestro bueno” le preguntó, “¿qué debo hacer para heredar la vida eterna? “¿Por qué me
llamas bueno? “ respondió Jesús. “Nadie es bueno sino sólo Dios”. Ya sabes los mandamien-
tos: “No mates, no cometas adulterio, no robes, no presentes falso tes5monio, no defraudes,
honra a tu padre y a tu madre.” “Maestro” dijo el hombre, “todo eso lo he cumplido desde
que era joven”. Jesús lo miró con amor y añadió: “Una sola cosa te falta: anda, vende todo lo
que 5enes y dáselo a los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en el cielo. Luego ven y sígueme”. Al oír es-
to, el hombre se desanimó y se fue triste porque tenía muchas riquezas.
1. Porqué fué difícil para el jóven rico escuchar esta enseñanza? 2. Qué posesiones tenemos que nos impíden acercarnos a Dios o a nuestra familia? Cómo debemos de usar nuestras posesiones para que no contrólen nuestras vidas?
Marcos 12:41-40
Estando Jesús sentado delante del arca de la ofrenda, miraba cómo el pueblo echaba dinero en
el arca; y muchos ricos echaban mucho. Y vino una viuda pobre, y echó dos blancas, o sea un
cuadrante. Entonces llamando a sus discípulos, les dijo: De cierto os digo que esta viuda pobre
echó más que todos los que han echado en el arca; porque todos han echado de lo que les so-
bra; pero ésta, de su pobreza echó todo lo que tenía, todo su sustento.
1. A qué se refiere Jesús cuando dice que la viuda dió más, aún cuando solo dió dos monedas?
2. De que manera podemos dar como la viuda pobre?
