And calling near His taught ones He said to them, “Truly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those putting into the treasury,
“And whoever gives one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a taught one, truly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”
And a poor widow came and threw in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent.
for they all put in out of their excess, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her entire livelihood.”

For if the readiness is present, it is well received according to what one has, not according to what he does not have –
that in much trial of pressure the overflowing of their joy and their deep poverty overflowed into the riches of their generosity.
