| Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were
put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury.
Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put
in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling
his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow
has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of
their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything--all she had
to live on." Mark 12; 41-44 (RSV)
