Luke 21:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 21:3

1 And He looked up ^aand saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury,

2 and He saw also a certain ^apoor widow putting in two ^bmites.

3 So He said, “Truly I say to you ^athat this poor widow has put in more than all;

4 for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings¹ for God, but she out of her poverty put in ^aall the livelihood that she had.”

5 ^aThen, as some spoke of the temple, how it was¹ adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said,

6 “These things which you see—the days will come in which ^anot one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.”
