Luke 22: 39-46

39Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40On reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation." 41He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." 43An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.[a]

45When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46"Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation."

The Widow's Gift

1(A)And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury.

2And He saw a poor widow putting in (B)two small copper coins.

3And He said, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;

4for they all out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of her poverty put in all that she had (C)to live on."
