«Chapter 12»*

Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny.

Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

JESUS SEES THE
WIDOW'S HUGE GIFT

[spankalib]

#2 shows the genius of Dore...it’s a simple scene, yet it is profound...the bowed head...the alone-ness.I guess I’d say; “Simply profound.” :)

[Squidpup]

excellent - thank you.

[Hebrews 11:6]

the genius of Dore

Cannot be said often enough.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad you approve of the widow’s mite. Now, as Jesus said, “Go and do likewise!”

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and a joyful midweek to all.

A favorite story indeed, and likewise instructive:

Dan, you greatly enjoy posting this ministry; and we thank you.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Too much fun, Leon!

[Bookshelf]

I was afraid I would see nothing but idealized women rather than the Biblical widow. Thank goodness for numbers 21 and 25.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I delivered everything I found.

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Mary-Lou! You have been very transparent about your own situation, so without putting you on-the-spot, please permit me to extend to you my blessings in the name of our Savior and Lord.

[SisterK]

no man to protect her

she is wholly dependent upon the Lord

[Hebrews 11:6]

As is a married woman, who depends on the Lord protecting her through her husband.
