Mark 12:41-44 - A Poor Widow's Offering

Mark 12:41-44

41 And having sat down opposite the treasury, Jesus watched how the multitude cast money into the treasury, and many rich men cast in much. 42 And one poor widow having come, she cast in two mites, which are a quadrans. 43 And having summoned his disciples, he says to them, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow cast in more than all those who are casting into the treasury. 44 For they all cast in from that which is abundant to them, but she from her need cast in all, as many things she had, her whole living.

Luke 21:1-4

1 And having looked up, he saw the rich casting their gifts into the treasury. 2 And he also saw a certain poor widow there casting in two mites. 3 And he said, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow cast in more than they all. 4 For all these cast into the offerings of God from their abundance, but this woman from her poverty cast in all the living that she had.
