Question: When Jesus went to church (synagogue) where did he sit and why did he sit there?

Mark 12:41-43 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

(42) And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

(43) And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:  

Answer: He sat beside the offering box to see how much each person gave.
