Mark 12:42 WEB

40  those who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.'

41  Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.

42  A poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins,{Literally, lepta (or widow's mites). Lepta are very small brass coins worth half a quadrans each, which is a quarter of the copper assarion. Lepta are worth less than 1% of an agricultural worker's daily wages.} which equal a quadrans coin.{A quadrans is a coin worth about 1/64 of a denarius. A denarius is about one day's wages for an agricultural laborer.}

43  He called his disciples to himself, and said to them, 'Most assuredly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,

44  for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.'
