Luke 21:4

4 All of those other people gave a lot because they are rich. But even though she is poor, she put in everything. She had nothing left to live on."

Luke 21:4 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:4

For all these have of their abundance
Which they had remaining; the same Hebrew word (rty) signifying to remain, and to abound: they had large possessions, and gave in much, and yet had a great deal left; out of which they cast in unto the offerings of God;
or "gifts of God": not as gifts unto him; or among the gifts of God; but into the treasury where the gifts, and freewill offerings were put; the same with the "Corban", in ( Matthew 27:6 ) and so the Syriac version here renders it, "the house of the offering of God": and it is expressed in the plural; because there were several chests, in which these gifts were put, for various uses; (See Gill on Mark 12:41) but she of her penury hath cast in all the living she had;
(See Gill on Mark 12:44).

5 Some of Jesus' disciples were talking about the temple. They spoke about how it was decorated with beautiful stones and with gifts that honored God. But Jesus asked,

6 "Do you see all this? The time will come when not one stone will be left on top of another. Every stone will be thrown down."
