Luke 21:1-4

Jesus talks about a poor widow's gift to God

1 Then Jesus looked up and he saw something that was happening in the temple. There was a box for money there. Many rich people were putting their gifts of money into the box.

2 Then he saw a woman who was coming there. She was a widow and she was very poor. She put two small coins into the box. They had only a little value 3 Jesus said, ‘Let me tell you this. This poor woman has put a bigger gift into the box than all the other people have put in there. 4 All those rich people have plenty of money. They only gave a small part of that. But this woman has almost nothing. She put everything that she had into the box. That money was what she needed to live.’
