43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:



Ver. 43. This poor widow] Women are noted in the parable of the lost groat to be fond of money; widows especially, and poor widows, make much of that little they have, as their life; so it is called here, Mar_12:44, even all her life ( ïëïí ôïí âéïí ), that is, her livelihood. All this she cast in, it being rather to and for the service of God than to the poor. She resolves, as a widow indeed, to trust wholly in God.



44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
