Luke 21:1-6

The Widow's Gift

1 ¹And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury.

2 And He saw a poor widow putting in ²two small copper coins.

3 And He said, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;

4 for they all out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of her poverty put in all that she had ³to live on."

5 ⁴And while some were talking about the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and votive gifts, He said,

6 "As for these things which you are looking at, the days will come in which ⁵there will not be left one stone upon another which will not be torn down."
