Jesus was sitting next to the treasury, and watched how people threw money into the treasury. Many rich people threw in a lot of money. Then came a certain poor widow, who threw in two mites, which together were worth a quarter-penny. He called His students to Him, and told them, "I tell you truly: This poor widow has thrown in more money than everyone else combined. All they did was to throw in a sample of their abundance. She, in her poverty, threw in everything she had, even everything she had to live on." | Jesus was sitting next to the treasury, and watched how people threw money into the treasury.
