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

⁴¹ Then He sat down in front of the collection-box and was watching the people as they dropped their money into it. And many rich people were dropping in large sums. ⁴² Then a poor widow came and dropped in two little copper coins, which make scarcely a cent. ⁴³ And He called His disciples to Him and said, "I solemnly say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all these others who have been putting money into the collection-box. ⁴⁴ For all of them put in out of their surplus, but she in her want put in all she had, yes, all she had to live on."

¹ Now He looked up and saw the rich people dropping their gifts into the treasury. ² Then He saw a poor widow drop in two little coins which make scarcely a cent. ³ And He said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has dropped in more than all of them; ⁴ for all the rest of them made their contributions out of their surplus, but she out of her want dropped in all that she had to live on."
