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

⁴¹ And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people put 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 said unto them, "Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury. ⁴⁴ For they all did cast in of their superfluity: But she of her poverty, did cast in all that she had, even all her living."

¹ As he beheld, he saw the rich men, how they cast in their offerings into the treasury. ² And he saw also a certain poor widow, which cast in thither two mites. ³ And he said, "Of a truth I say unto you, this poor widow hath put in more than they all. ⁴ For they all have of their superfluity added unto the offering of God: But she, of her penury, hath cast in all the substance that she had."
