Then Jesus sat down opposite the chests for the Temple offerings, and watched how the people put money into them. Many rich people were putting in large sums;
The Chief Priests took the pieces of silver, but they said: "We must not put them into the Temple treasury, because they are blood-money."
But one poor widow came and put in two farthings, which make a half-penny.
These statements Jesus made in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple Courts. Yet no one arrested him, for his time had not then come.
