Luke 21:4

4 For from what they could well spare they have all of them contributed to the offerings, but she in her need has thrown in all she had 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).

Luke 21:4 In-Context

2 He also saw a poor widow dropping in two farthings,

3 and He said, "In truth I tell you that this widow, so poor, has thrown in more than any of them.

4 For from what they could well spare they have all of them contributed to the offerings, but she in her need has thrown in all she had to live on."

5 When some were remarking about the Temple, how it was embellished with beautiful stones and dedicated gifts, He said,

6 "As to these things which you now admire, the time is coming when there will not be one stone left here upon another which will not be pulled down."
