Description

A poor widow stands at the temple treasury, lowering a small coin into the offering vessel while children cling close beside her. Behind her, wealthier worshipers wait with visible gifts in hand, creating the contrast at the heart of the Gospel account. The setting evokes the courts of the Jerusalem temple, where gifts were placed into offering receptacles and outward generosity could be seen by others.

The scene reflects Luke 21:1-4 and Mark 12:41-44, where Jesus teaches that the widow’s two small copper coins were greater than the large sums of the rich because she gave out of poverty, entrusting to God “all she had to live on.” The artwork emphasizes sacrificial giving, humble faith, stewardship, and the kingdom value of devotion measured not by amount, but by surrender.

Scriptures	Luke 21:1-4 Mark 12:41-44 Luke 21 1 Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, 2 and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. 3 And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. 4 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” Mark 12 41 And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. 42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. 43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, 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 poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”
