STORIES FROM THE BIBLE
WIDOW GAVE ALL TO GOD
"Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box. He also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.
He said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all offered their gifts out of their wealth. But she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had to live on.”
Luke 21:1-4 NET (New English Translation)
The widow's mites are bronze coins called Lepton's. It was the smallest Jewish coin, and only worth 1/64th of a Denararius (one day's wage.)
