Jesus tells the parable of the tenants13. He avoids the snare of the Pharisees and Herodians about paying tribute to Caesar; 18. convicts the Sadducees, who denied the resurrection; 28. resolves the scribe, who questioned of the first commandment; 35. refutes the opinion that the scribes held of the Christ; 38. bidding the people to beware of their ambition and hypocrisy; 41. and commends the poor widow for her two mites, above all. (42) And there came a certain poor widow.--The position of the narrative gives to the description all the vividness of contrast. Among the "many" who cast in much must have been some at least of the Pharisees who devoured widows' houses. Here was a widow whose house had been devoured, and who yet showed by her act that she kept the two great commandments, which the scribes themselves declared to be above all burnt offerings and sacrifices. Two mites, which make a farthing.--The "farthing" is one of the Latin words which characterise this Gospel, and represents the quadrans, or fourth-part of a Roman as. The primary meaning of the word rendered "mite" is "thin" or "tiny." Verse 42. - A poor widow (μία χήρα πτωχὴ); literally, one poor widow; one specially singled out for notice. St. Luke says, εῖδε δὲ καί τινα χήραν πενιχρὰν: literally, a widow who supported herself by her own little labor. And she cast in two mites (λεπτὰ), which make a farthing. The farthing was the fourth part of an as, and ten of these made a denarius. The Greek word (λεπτὰ) means literally "thin pieces."Parallel Commentaries ...
