CallingHis disciplesto Him, He saidto them, "TrulyI sayto you, thispoorwidowputin morethan allthe contributorsto the treasury;
"And whoeverin the nameof a disciplegivesto oneof theselittle onesevena cupof coldwater to drink,trulyI sayto you, he shall not losehis reward."
A poorwidowcameand putin twosmall copper coins,whichamountto a cent.
for they allputin out of their surplus,but she, out of her poverty,putin allshe owned,allshe had to liveon."
ThesewordsHe spokein the treasury,as He taughtin the temple;and no oneseizedHim, becauseHis hourhad not yetcome.
And in the proportionthat anyof the discipleshad means,eachof them determinedto send[a contribution] for the reliefof the brethrenlivingin Judea.
For ifthe readinessis present,it is acceptableaccordingto what [a person] has,not accordingto what he does not have.
that in a greatordealof afflictiontheir abundanceof joyand their deeppovertyoverflowedin the wealthof their liberality.
