Robertson's NT Word Studies
21:1 {And he looked up} (anableyas de). He had taken his seat, after the debate was over and the Sanhedrin had slunk away in sheer defeat, "over against the treasury" (#Mr 12:41). The word for "treasury" (gazofulakion) is a compound of gaza (Persian word for royal treasury) and fulake guard or protection. It is common in the LXX, but in the N.T. only here and #Mr 12:41,43; Joh 8:20. Jesus was watching (#Mr 12:41) the rich put in their gifts as a slight diversion from the intense strain of the hours before.
