Mark 12:42-44

42And a poor widow came and put in two 1lepta coins, which amount to a 2quadrans.

43Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all 3the contributors to the treasury;

44for they all put in out of their 4surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, 5all she had 6to live on.”
