The Widow's Mite
Students may read Mark 12:41-44
As Jesus and the apostles walked about the temple, they sat down and began watching as people put money into the treasury box. Rich people put in large amounts of money. Others put in what was expected. Then, they saw a poor widow place two copper coins into the box. Jesus said, “This poor widow has put in more than all the others.” Others had given a small part of their wealth. But the widow, even though she was poor, had given everything she had.
