Passage 4:
The Widow’s Offering
41Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. 43Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

My response to the bible verse
I think the verse means that the widow gave everything she had but the other people did not give everything they had, and what I think surprised Jesus more was that she gave all her money that she had to live on but others gave only a bit of there money.
I think this relates to our social Justice unit because what I think this verse is trying to say is to give everything you have.
