A Poor Widow's Offering
2 And He saw a certain poor widow throwing two small copper coins into it [Note: These two coins amounted to about ten minutes of a farm laborer's pay, or about one dollar in 1994]. 3 So, He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has thrown in more than all the rest [i.e., referring to the many rich people who were also throwing in money]. 4 For all of them threw in from their abundance, but she threw in from her poverty all she had to live on."
