The term "alms" refers to money, food, or other things that are given to help poor people.

|
|
* Often the giving of alms was seen as something that their religion required them to do in order to be righteous.
|
||
|
|
* Jesus said that giving alms should not be done publicly in order to get other people to notice it.
|
||
|
|
* This term could be translated as "money" or "gifts to poor people" or "help for the poor."
