Old Testament

Luke 21:1-4
The Poor Widow Gave More
211Jesus looked up and saw rich people putting their gifts into the offering box. 2He saw a poor widow there putting in two small coins.[] 3He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than everyone, 4for all these put in some of their leftovers as gifts to God,[] but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”
