Why?
Because she was pathetic in addition to gave all she had piece the others gave a small-scale total from their greater wealth.
We don’t demand to live on rich to live on generous or pathetic to live on stingy. Generosity in addition to stinginess period of time from the heart, non the total of money nosotros have.
Nor does Jesus estimate generosity past times the total nosotros give. He judges it past times the total nosotros keep.(1)
