As Jesus looked up This phrase sets the scene for a moment of observation and teaching by Jesus. The act of "looking up" signifies a deliberate and intentional focus. In the Greek, the word used here is "anablepō," which means to look up or to recover sight. This implies that Jesus is not merely glancing but is purposefully observing the actions of those around Him. This moment of looking up is significant as it precedes a teaching moment, highlighting the importance of being observant and aware of the actions and intentions of others. He saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury (1-4) And saw the rich men casting their gifts.--See Notes on Mark 12:41-44. This may, perhaps, be thought of as one of the incidents which St. Luke derived from verbal communication with his brother-evangelist. (See Introduction.) Verses 1-4. - The widow's mite. We find this little sketch only here and in St. Mark (Mark 12:41-44). The Master was sitting - resting, probably, after the effort of the great denunciation of the scribes and Pharisees - in the covered colonnade of that part of the temple which was open to the Jewish women. Here was the treasury, with its thirteen boxes in the wall, for the reception of the alms of the people. These boxes were called shopheroth, or trumpets, because they were shaped like trumpets, swelling out beneath, and tapering upward into a narrow mouth, or opening, into which the alms were dropped. Some of these "trumpets" were marked with special inscriptions, denoting the destination of the offerings. Verse 1. - And he looked up, and saw the rich men outing their gifts into the treasury. It is not improbable that a special stream of almsgivers were just then passing through the temple court, many being specially impressed by the solemn words they had just been listening to.Parallel Commentaries ...
