In the New Testament, who was commended by Jesus for giving all she had, even though it was very little?

Correct Answer

B) The widow

In Mark 12:41-44, Jesus observes a poor widow placing two small coins into the temple treasury. While others gave large amounts from their wealth, the widow gave out of her poverty, contributing everything she had to live on. Jesus commended her for her great generosity, explaining that true generosity is not about the size of the gift, but the sacrifice and heart behind it. Her act serves as a powerful reminder that God values the heart of the giver and the willingness to give, even in the midst of scarcity.
