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

⁴¹ And Jesus, sitting opposite the treasury, observed how the multitude threw money into the treasury. And many rich persons threw in much. ⁴² And there came one poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. ⁴³ And he called his disciples to him, and said to them: Verily I say to you, this poor widow has thrown in more than all that have thrown into the treasury. ⁴⁴ For all have thrown in out of their abundance; but she, out of her poverty, has thrown in all that she had, her whole living.

¹ And he looked up, and saw the rich throwing their gifts into the treasury. ² And he saw also a certain poor widow throw in thither two mites. ³ And he said: Of a truth, I say to you, that this poor widow has thrown in more than they all. ⁴ For all these, from their abundance, have thrown in among the gifts of God; but she, from her poverty, has thrown in all the living that she had.
