Luke 12:48
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
KJV
A mite was a small copper coin that was worth about half a cent in biblical times. It was the smallest denomination at that time and was typically used by the poor for basic transactions.
In the Bible, a denarius was a common Roman coin, which is approximate to one day's wage. In contrast, the American penny is the lowest denomination of currency in the United States, with 100 pennies equaling one dollar. The value and usage of these coins are different due to historical and economic factors.
In the famous "Sermon on the Mount," Jesus spoke against revenge and said we are not to resist the evildoer. Do not strike back but turn the other cheek. If someone takes your coat, give him your cloak also. If forced to go a mile, voluntarily go a second mile. Today we speak of "going the second (or 'extra') mile" when we want to encourage someone to give more effort than is required. We tend to forget that Jesus was speaking not of trying hard to serve good people but evildoers. We are to meet evil with good, not stoop to the level of the evildoer and not excuse ourselves with the childish "But mommy, he started it!" We are each responsible for doing the right thing, no matter what is done to us. (Read Jesus' words in Matthew 5:38-42.)

In this stave, the allusion to Christ's miracles is seen when the Ghost of Marley mentions "the tale of the boy who cried out that the emperor had no clothes." This is a reference to the biblical story of the boy who pointed out the truth despite others not seeing it, much like Christ's miracles revealed truths that others may not have initially recognized.
None - without excessive 'interpretation'. The Bible was written in times when there were no Presidents nor first ladies. To expect that a verse or chapter in the Bible would reference such a position is to expect too much.
