Mark 12:44
Context12:44 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
Mark 15:41
Context15:41 When he was in Galilee, they had followed him and given him support. 4 Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem 5 were there too.
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.
