189. The Great Value of the Widow’s Offering. Mk. 12:41–44; Lk. 21:1–4

Then the Lord Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the people were putting money into it. Observing, He saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury. Many rich people were putting in much. He also saw a poor widow who, coming forward, put in two small coins, which make a penny. And, calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, ‘Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury. For all of them have given out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, has put in everything she had, all her livelihood.’
