Luke 21:2

2 vidit autem et quandam viduam pauperculam mittentem aera minuta duo

Luke 21:2 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:2

And he saw also a certain poor widow
Whom he took particular notice of above all the rest: the poor, and the widow, are regarded by him, and are his care; nor are their mean services, done in faith, and from a principle of love, despised by him, but preferred to the greater services of others, where faith and love are wanting: casting in thither two mites;
the value of a farthing. The Persic version renders it, "two bottoms of yarn"; (See Gill on Mark 12:42):

Luke 21:2 In-Context

2 vidit autem et quandam viduam pauperculam mittentem aera minuta duo

3 et dixit vere dico vobis quia vidua haec pauper plus quam omnes misit

4 nam omnes hii ex abundanti sibi miserunt in munera Dei haec autem ex eo quod deest illi omnem victum suum quem habuit misit

5 et quibusdam dicentibus de templo quod lapidibus bonis et donis ornatum esset dixit
