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

⁴¹ And Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many people who were rich put in large sums. ⁴² And a poor widow came, and put in two copper coins, which make a penny. ⁴³ And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. ⁴⁴ For they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in everythingall she had to live on."

¹ He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, ² and he also saw a poor widow put in two copper coins. ³ So he said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of the others; ⁴ for these all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on."
