3And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all:
4For all these have of their abundance cast into the offerings of God: but she of her want hath cast in all the living that she had.
4For they gave out of their wealth, having more than enough for themselves: but she, even out of her need, has put in all her living.
4for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.

8Who said: Take heed you be not seduced: for many will come in my name, saying: I am he and the time is at hand. Go ye not therefore after them.
