And calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all those putting money into the treasury;
And whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”
And a poor widow came and put in two lepta, which amount to a quadrans.
for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on.”
These words He spoke in the treasury, as He was teaching in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
And as any of the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the service of the brothers living in Judea.
For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.
that in a great testing by affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the richness of their generosity.
