KING JAMES VERSION

 Mark 12-41-44

 

And Jesus sat over against the trea­sury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury; and many that were rich cast in much.

And there came a certain poor wid­ow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

 

And He called unto Him His dis­ciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

 

 

 

Luke 21:1-4

 

And He looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the trea­sury. And He saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And He said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her pe­nury hath cast in all the living that she had.

Mark 12:41-44

 

Then Jesus sat down opposite the Temple almsbox and watched the peo­ple putting their money into it. A great many rich people put in large sums. Then a poor widow came up and drop­ped in two little coins, worth together about a nickel. Jesus called His dis­ciples to His side and said to them:

"Believe Me, this poor widow has put in more than all the others. For they have all put in what they can easily afford, but she in her poverty who needs so much, has given away everything, her whole living!"

 

Luke 21 :1-4

Then He looked up and saw the rich people dropping their gifts into the treasury, and He noticed a poor wid­ow drop in two coppers, and He com­mented,

 

"I assure you that this poor widow has put in more than all of them, for they have all put in what they can easily spare, but she in her poverty has given away her whole living."
