How is this?
And having sat opposite the treasury He was watching how the crowd casts copper into the treasury. And many rich men were casting much; and having come one poor widow cast two leptons, which is a quadrans. And having called forth the disciples of Him He said to them:
"Amen I say to you that this poor widow cast more than all of the ones who cast into the treasury; for all cast out of the things that abound to them, but she herself cast the whole life of her all things whatsoever she had out of the lack of her."

And as he sat across from the contribution box, he was watching how the
crowd was putting coins in the box. And a lot of rich people threw in a lot
of coins. And one poor widow came along and put in two half pennies-in other
words, a penny. And Jesus called his followers over. He said to them, "I'm
telling you, seriously-that poor widow put in more than all the people
putting money in the contribution box. Because they all put in out of what
they had left over [1]--but she, out of her shortage of money, put in
everything she had--her whole living!"
[1] Lit. "they all put in out of what was extra for themselves".
