41And sitting opposite the treasury, he was watching how the crowd was putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in much.

42And a poor widow came and put in two lepta, which is a quadrans.

43And calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who are putting into the treasury.”

44For they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had—her whole livelihood.
