Then a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth less than a penny.
I assure you that you will not leave there until you have paid everything you owe.
Jesus sat near the Temple collection box and watched as people put money into it. Many rich people put in a lot of money.
Jesus called his followers to him and said, “This poor widow put in only two small coins. But the truth is, she gave more than all those rich people.
I tell you, you will not get out of there until you have paid every cent you owe.”
Then he saw a poor widow put two small copper coins into the box.
If you were a baby, like my little brother nursing at his mother’s breasts, and if I found you outside, I could kiss you, and no one would say it was wrong.
Whoever helps any of these little ones because they are my followers will definitely get a reward, even if they only give them a cup of cold water.”
These believers have been tested by great troubles, and they are very poor. But their great joy caused them to be very generous in their giving.
If you want to give, your gift will be accepted. Your gift will be judged by what you have, not by what you don’t have.
