2 but he saw also a certain poor widow casting therein two mites.
and he saw also a certain poor widow casting there two mites,
3 And he said, Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow has cast in more than all;
and he said, 'Truly I say to you, that this poor widow did cast in more than all;

for all these out of their superabundance did cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, did cast in.'

and a hair out of your head shall not perish;
19 By your patient endurance gain your souls.
in your patience possess ye your souls.

38 and all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
and all the people were coming early unto him in the temple to hear him.
