The Widow's Offering

21:1 Jesus [1] looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. [2] And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”
