The Widow's Offering
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
Mrk 12:41–44
- 41 And Jesus having sat down over-against the treasury, was beholding how the multitude do put brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much,
- 42 and having come, a poor widow did put in two mites, which are a farthing.
- 43 And having called near his disciples, he saith to them, 'Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath put in more than all those putting into the treasury;
- 44 for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, all that she had put in — all her living.'
Luk 21:1–4
- 1 And having looked up, he saw those who did cast their gifts to the treasury — rich men,
- 2 and he saw also a certain poor widow casting there two mites,
- 3 and he said, 'Truly I say to you, that this poor widow did cast in more than all;
- 4 for all these out of their superabundance did cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, did cast in.'
