The Widow's Offering

21 ^(A)Jesus^[a] looked up and saw the rich ^(B)putting their gifts into ^(C)the offering box,

The Widow's Offering

^41 (A)And he sat down opposite ^(B)the treasury and watched the people ^(C)putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. ⁴² And a poor widow came and put in two ^(D)small copper coins, which make a penny.^{[a] 43} And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, ^(E)this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. ⁴⁴ For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her ^(F)poverty has put in everything she had, all ^(G)she had to live on.”

²⁰ These words he spoke in ^(A)the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but ^(B)no one arrested him, because ^(C)his hour had not yet come.

⁶ But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into ^(A)the treasury, since it is blood money.”

^18 (A)And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.

¹³ and carried off all the treasures of the house of the Lord ^(A)and the treasures of the king's house, ^(B)and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold in the temple of the Lord, ^(C)which Solomon king of Israel had made, ^(D)as the Lord had foretold.

¹³ And ^(A)I appointed as treasurers over the storehouses Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites, and as their assistant Hanan the son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, ^(B)for they were considered reliable, and their duty was to distribute to their brothers.

²⁴ And they burned the city with fire, and everything in it. ^(A)Only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord.

¹⁹ But all silver and gold, and every vessel of bronze and iron, are holy to the Lord; they shall go into the treasury of the Lord.”
