Luke 21:1

THE WIDOW'S TWO MITES. (Luke 21:1-4)

looked up—He had "sat down over against the treasury" (Mark 12:41), probably to rest, for He had continued long standing as he taught in the temple court (Mark 11:27), and "looking up He saw"—as in Zaccheus' case, not quite casually.

the rich, etc.—"the people," says Mark 12:41 "cast money into the treasury, and many rich east in much"; that is, into chests deposited in one of the courts of the temple to receive the offerings of the people towards its maintenance (II Kings 12:9; John 8:20).
