The Lord on sacrifice (12:41-44)
The Latin:
Et sedens Iésus contra gazophylácium, aspiciébat quómodo turba iactáret æs in gazophylácium, et multi dívites iactábant multa. Cum venísset autem vídua una pauper, misit duo minúta, quod est quadrans, et cónvocans discípulos suos, ait illis : Amen dico vobis, quóniam vídua hæc pauper plus ómnibus misit, qui misérunt in gazophylácium. Omnes enim ex eo, quod abundábat illis, misérunt : hæc vero de penúria sua ómnia quæ hábuit misit totum victum suum.
The English:
And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, 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 cast in two mites, which make a farthing. And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury. For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living.
