Jesus looked closely at the man. He liked him and said, “There's one thing you still need to do. Go sell everything you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come with me.”

Finally, a poor widow came up and put in two coins worth only a few pennies.

Jesus told his disciples to gather around him. Then he said: I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than all the others.

Everyone else gave what they didn't need. But she is very poor and gave everything she had. Now she doesn't have a cent to live on.

We could have sold this perfume for more than 300 silver coins and given the money to the poor!” So they started saying cruel things to the woman.

You will always have the poor with you. And whenever you want to, you can give to them. But you won't always have me here with you.
