Markus 12:42

12:42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, ³  worth less than a penny.

[2:6]  ¹ tn Or “some of the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.

[2:6]  ² tn Grk “Reasoning within their hearts.”

[12:42]  ³ sn These two small copper coins were lepta (sing. “lepton”), the smallest and least valuable coins in circulation in Palestine, worth one-half of a quadrans or 1/128 of a denarius, or about six minutes of an average daily wage. This was next to nothing in value.
