Mark 12:41-44

411And Jesus sat down opposite 2the treasury, and began watching how the 3people were 4putting 5money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large amounts.

42And a poor widow came and put in two 6lepta coins, which amount to a 7quadrans.

43Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all 8the contributors to the treasury;

44for they all put in out of their 9surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, 10all she had 11to live on.”
