Vv. 45-47- Warning against the scribes (Mk. xii. 38-40).—Either a mere fragment of the larger whole in Mt. xxiii., or the original nucleus around which Mt. has gathered much kindred matter—the former more likely.—Ver. 46. φιλούντων: while following Mk. in the main, Lk. improves the construction here by intro- ducing this participle before ἀσπασμοὺς, which in Mk. depends on θελόντων.--- Ver. 47. Another improvement is the change of ot, κατεσθίοντες (Mk. xii. 40) into ot κατεσθίουσι---υἰᾷεποῖες on Mk.— μακρὰ, at length, an adverb. Bengel (in Mt.) suggests µακρῷΥ to agree with προφάσει (‘ex orationibus suis fecere magnam πρόφασιν, praetextum come- dendidomos viduarum’’). Elsner adopts the same view.

Yet this mal-arrangement corresponds to the manner in which Lk. introduces that discourse, by comparison with Mt. and Mk., markedly unemphatic.—Ver. 1. ἀναβλέψας, looking up, giving the impres- sion of a casual, momentary glance taken by one who had been previously pre- occupied with very different matters. Mk’s narrative conveys the idea of delib- erate, interested observation by one who took a position convenient for the pur- pose, and continued observing (καθίσας κατέναντι, ἐθεώρει).-- τὰ Sapa, instead of Mk’s χαλκὸν. Lk. has in view only the rich; Mk., in the first place, the multi- επάθ.-- πλουσίους: the whole clause from τοὺς may be taken as the object of εἶδε, saw the rich casting in, etc., or πλ. may be in apposition with τοὺς βάλλοντας = saw those casting in, etc., being rich men (so Hahn and Farrar). The former (A.V., Wzs.) is to be preferred.—Ver. 2. πενι- χρὰν, needy, from πένοµαι or πένης; a poetic word rarely used, here only in Ν.Τ. πτωχὴ, Mk.’s word, is stronger = reduced to beggary.—8vo λεπτά.
