Luke 21:1-4

The Widow's Offering

1 ¹Jesus^[a] looked up and saw the rich ²putting their gifts into ³the offering box,

2 and he saw a poor widow put in two ⁴small copper coins.^[b]

3 And he said, "Truly, I tell you, ⁵this poor widow has put in more than all of them.

4 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her ⁶poverty put in all ⁷she had to live on."
