Lukas 8:43
Konteks8:43 Now 1 a woman was there who had been suffering from a hemorrhage 2 for twelve years 3 but could not be healed by anyone.
Lukas 15:12
Konteks15:12 The 4 younger of them said to his 5 father, ‘Father, give me the share of the estate 6 that will belong 7 to me.’ So 8 he divided his 9 assets between them. 10
Lukas 15:30
Konteks15:30 But when this son of yours 11 came back, who has devoured 12 your assets with prostitutes, 13 you killed the fattened calf 14 for him!’
Lukas 21:2-4
Konteks21:2 He also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. 15 21:3 He 16 said, “I tell you the truth, 17 this poor widow has put in more than all of them. 18 21:4 For they all offered their gifts out of their wealth. 19 But she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had to live on.” 20

[15:12] 10 sn He divided his assets between them. There was advice against doing this in the OT Apocrypha (Sir 33:20). The younger son would get half of what the older son received (Deut 21:17).
[15:30] 11 sn Note the younger son is not “my brother” but this son of yours (an expression with a distinctly pejorative nuance).
[15:30] 12 sn This is another graphic description. The younger son’s consumption had been like a glutton. He had both figuratively and literally devoured the assets which were given to him.
[15:30] 13 sn The charge concerning the prostitutes is unproven, but essentially the older brother accuses the father of committing an injustice by rewarding his younger son’s unrighteous behavior.
[15:30] 14 sn See note on the phrase “fattened calf” in v. 23.
[21:2] 15 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.
