A poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.

He called his disciples to himself, and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,

For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,

The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
