3 καὶ εἶπεν · Ἀληθῶς λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἡ χήρα ἡ πτωχὴ αὕτη ⸃ πλεῖον πάντων ἔβαλεν ·

Luke 21:3 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:3

And he said
To his disciples, as the Ethiopic version adds; these he called to him, upon this occasion, as appears from ( Mark 12:43 ) of a truth I say unto you, that this poor woman hath cast in more
than they all:
than all the rich men; not in quantity, but in proportion to her ability; (See Gill on Mark 12:43).

1 Ἀναβλέψας δὲ εἶδεν τοὺς βάλλοντας εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον τὰ δῶρα αὐτῶν ⸃ πλουσίους.

2 εἶδεν δέ τινα χήραν πενιχρὰν βάλλουσαν ἐκεῖ λεπτὰ δύο,

3 καὶ εἶπεν · Ἀληθῶς λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἡ χήρα ἡ πτωχὴ αὕτη ⸃ πλεῖον πάντων ἔβαλεν ·

4 πάντες γὰρ οὗτοι ἐκ τοῦ περισσεύοντος αὐτοῖς ἔβαλον εἰς τὰ δῶρα, αὕτη δὲ ἐκ τοῦ ὑστερήματος αὐτῆς πάντα τὸν βίον ὃν εἶχεν ἔβαλεν.

5 Καί τινων λεγόντων περὶ τοῦ ἱεροῦ, ὅτι λίθοις καλοῖς καὶ ἀναθήμασιν κεκόσμηται εἶπεν ·
