New Testament

Mark 12:40-44 Amplified Bible (AMP)

40. Who devour widows' houses and to cover it up make long prayers. They will receive the heavier [sentence of] condemnation.

41. And He sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury. Many rich [people] were throwing in large sums.

42. And a widow who was poverty-stricken came and put in two copper mites [the smallest of coins], which together make half of a cent.

43. And He called His disciples [to Him] and said to them, Truly and surely I tell you, this widow, [she who is] poverty-stricken, has put in more than all those contributing to the treasury.

44. For they all threw in out of their abundance; but she, out of her deep poverty, has put in everything that she had–[even] all she had on which to live.
