Mark 12:43

The Widow’s Offering

42Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.43Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.44For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
