Luke 21:1-4

A Poor Widow’s Offering

1 And he looked up [and] saw the rich putting their gifts into the contribution box,

2 and he saw a certain poor widow putting in there two small copper coins.

3 And he said, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than all [of them].

4 For these all put [gifts] into the offering out of their abundance, but this [woman] out of her poverty put in all the means of subsistence that she had."
