Luke 21:4

4 For why all these of [the] thing that was plenteous to them [For why all these of the abundance, or plenteous, to them] cast into the gifts of God; but this widow of that thing that failed to her, cast all her livelode [sent all her lifelode], that she had.

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).

4 For why all these of [the] thing that was plenteous to them [For why all these of the abundance, or plenteous, to them] cast into the gifts of God; but this widow of that thing that failed to her, cast all her livelode [sent all her lifelode], that she had.

5 And when some men said of the temple, that it was appareled with good stones and gifts [that it was adorned with good stones and gifts], he said,

6 These things that ye see, days shall come, in which a stone shall not be left on a stone, which shall not be destroyed. [+These things that ye see, days shall come, in the which a stone shall not be left upon a stone, that shall not be destroyed.]
