Luke 21:1-4

The Widow's Gift

1 He looked up and saw the rich dropping their offerings into the temple treasury.
2 He also saw a poor widow dropping in two tiny coins.[a]
3 "I tell you the truth," He said. "This poor widow has put in more than all of them.
4 For all these people have put in gifts out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on."
