Mark 12:41-44
Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the
treasury. And many who were rich put in much.
Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a quadrans.
So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to
you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the
treasury;
"for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in
all that she had, her whole livelihood."
Luke 21:1-4
And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury,
and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites.
So He said, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all;
"for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she
out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had."
