Women: The Widow Who Put Her Two Mite (Small Coins, Greek: Leptas) Into the Treasury

Source: Nav

Mark 12:41–44 As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts. / Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius. / Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.
Luke 21:2–4 and He saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. / “Truly I tell you,” He said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. / For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
