Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. Many who were rich put in much.
So Jehoiada the priest took a chest, made a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar on the right side as one enters the house of the Lord. The priests guarding the threshold put there all the money that was brought into the house of the Lord.
The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because this is the price of blood.”
But a certain poor widow came and put in two mites, which make a farthing.
Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as He taught in the temple. No one arrested Him, for His hour had not yet come.
