Luke 21:4

4 For they gave out of their wealth, having more than enough for themselves: but she, even out of her need, has put in all her living.

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 And he saw a certain poor widow putting in a farthing.

3 And he said, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has given more than all of them:

4 For they gave out of their wealth, having more than enough for themselves: but she, even out of her need, has put in all her living.

5 And some were talking about the Temple, how it was made fair with beautiful stones and with offerings, but he said,

6 As for these things which you see, the days will come when not one stone will be resting on another, but all will be broken down.
