Luke 21:1-4
Wycliffe Bible
21 And he beheld, and saw the rich men, that cast their gifts into the treasury;
2 but he saw also a little poor widow casting two farthings.[a]
3 And he said, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow cast more than all men.
4 For why all these of [the] thing that was plenteous to them [For why all these of the abundance, or plenteous, to them] cast into the gifts of God; but this widow of that thing that failed to her, cast all her livelode [sent all her lifelode], that she had.
