The Widow’s Offering

(Luke 21:1–4)

41 As [Jesus] was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into [it]. And many rich [people] put in large amounts. 42 Then one poor widow came [and] put [in] two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.[fn]

43 [Jesus] called His disciples {to Him} [and] said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the [others] into the treasury. 44 For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put [in] all she had to live on.”
