Mark 12:41-44

The Widow’s Offering

41 ^aAnd he sat down opposite ^bthe treasury and watched the people ^cputting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. 42 And a poor widow came and put in two ^dsmall copper coins, which make a penny. ^{▼▼Greek two lepta, which make a kodrantes; a kodrantes (Latin quadrans) was a Roman copper coin worth about 1/64 of a denarius (which was a day’s wage for a laborer)} 43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, ^fthis poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her ^gpoverty has put in everything she had, all ^hshe had to live on.”
