The widow’s offering

12 41Jesus sat down opposite the Temple treasury and watched the people dropping money into the treasury box; and many rich people put in large offerings. 42But a poor widow also came and dropped in two small coins.

43Then Jesus called his disciples and said to them: 
—Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all those who gave offerings. 44For all of them gave from their plenty, but she gave from her poverty and put in everything she had, her very living.
