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
1 tn Grk “eat bread.”
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.
