And he looked up (Anableyav de). He had taken his seat, after the debate was over and the Sanhedrin had slunk away in sheer defeat, "over against the treasury" (Mark 12:41). The word for "treasury" (gazofulakion) is a compound of gaza (Persian word for royal treasury) and fulakh guard or protection.
