   What did Jesus say about the poor widow?

   • Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.

   Why did a poor widow give an offering?

   • In the midst of this circus, a poor widow came to give an offering. She didn’t have much, just a couple of very small coins. But what she had, she gave. She did not do it for show. There was no way she was going to compete with the larger donors. Nor did she do it out of obligation. There was no requirement to give everything.

   Did the widow leave the temple completely destitute?

   • The widow’s faith is also evident in the fact that she gave the last of her money. Like the widow of Zarephath, who gave her last meal to Elijah (see 1 Kings 17:7–16), the widow in the temple gave away her last means of self-support. Does that mean the widow left the temple completely destitute, went home, and died of starvation? No.
