12:44 For they all gave out of their wealth. ²  But she, out of her poverty, put in what she had to live on, everything she had.” ³

¹ tn Grk “he”; here it is necessary to specify the referent as “Herod,” since the nearest previous antecedent in the translation is Philip.

² tn Grk “out of what abounded to them.”

³ sn The contrast between this passage, 12:41-44, and what has come before in 11:27-12:40 is remarkable. The woman is set in stark contrast to the religious leaders. She was a poor widow, they were rich. She was uneducated in the law, they were well educated in the law. She was a woman, they were men. But whereas they evidenced no faith and actually stole money from God and men (cf. 11:17), she evidenced great faith and gave out of her extreme poverty everything she had.

⁴ tn Grk “and ministered to him.”

sn Cf. Luke 8:3.
