Lesson of the widow's mite

"Widow's mite" redirects here. For the estate in the U.S., see Widow's Mite. It is not to be confused with Widow's Might (disambiguation).
A bronze mite, also known as a Lepton (meaning small), minted by Alexander Jannaeus, King of Judaea, 103–76 BC and still in circulation at the time of Jesus[1]

The lesson of the widow's mite or the widow's offering is presented in two of the Synoptic Gospels (Mark 12:41–44 and Luke 21:1–4), when Jesus is teaching in the Temple in Jerusalem. The Gospel of Mark specifies that two mites (Greek lepta) are together worth a quadrans, the smallest Roman coin. A lepton was the smallest and least valuable coin in circulation in Judea,[2] worth about six minutes of an average daily wage.[3]
