The Widow's Offering

Unlocked Literal Bible (ULB)

Mrk 12:41–44

41 Then Jesus sat down across from an offering box in the temple area; he was watching people as they dropped their money into the box. Many rich people put in large amounts of money.
42 Then a poor widow came and put in two mites, worth about a penny.
43 He called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them who contributed to the offering box.
44 For all of them gave out of their abundance. But this widow, out of her poverty, put in all of the money which she had to live on. “

1 Jesus looked up and saw the rich men who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 He saw a certain poor widow putting in two mites.
3 So he said, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them.
4 All of these gave gifts out of their abundance. But this widow, out of her poverty, put in all she had to live on.”
