Mark 12:41-44
The Widow’s Mite
41 (A)And He sat down opposite (B)the treasury, and began observing how the people were (C)putting (a)money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums.
42 A poor widow came and put in two (b)small copper coins, which amount to a (c)cent.
43 Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all (d)the contributors to the treasury;
44 for they all put in out of their (e)surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, (f)all she had (D)to live on.”
