42 And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
42 But when one poor widow had arrived, she put in two small coins, which is a quarter.

43 And calling together his disciples, he said to them: “Amen I say to you, that this poor widow has put in more than all those who contributed to the offertory.
43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury
44 For they all put in out of their excess, but this woman, out of her destitution, put in everything she had, her whole livelihood."
