41¶ And Iesus sate ouer against the treasurie, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasurie: and many that were rich, cast in much. 42And there came a certaine poore widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43And he called vnto him his disciples, and saith vnto them, Uerily I say vnto you, that this poore widow hath cast more in, then all they which haue cast into the treasurie. 44For all they did cast in of their aboundance: but she of her want, did cast in all that she had, euen all her liuing.
