THE WIDOW'S TWO MITES.
And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude
cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And
there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, "Verily, I say
unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into
the treasury: for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her
want did cast in all that she had, even all her living."
THE GENTILES SEEK JESUS.
Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the
feast: these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee,
and asked him, saying, "Sir, we would see Jesus."
