This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Three hundred pence (τριακοσίων δηναρίων)
Or three hundred denarii. On the denarius, see on Mat 20:2. Mark says more than three hundred pence. Three hundred denarii would be about fifty dollars, or twice that amount if we reckon according to the purchasing power.
The poor (πτωχοῖς)
See on Mat 5:3. No article: to poor people.
