Mark 12:42

Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

Note Greek put in two lepta, which is a kodrantēs; a lepton was a Jewish coin of bronze or copper worth about 1/128 of a denarius.

And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.

Note literally, lepta (or widow’s mites). Lepta are very small brass coins worth half a quadrans each, which is a quarter of the copper assarion. Lepta are worth less than 1% of an agricultural worker’s daily wages.

Note A quadrans is a coin worth about 1/64 of a denarius. A denarius is about one day’s wages for an agricultural laborer.

And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
