For they all contributed out of their surplus This phrase highlights the contrast between the wealthy donors and the poor widow. The Greek word for "surplus" is "perisseuma," which implies an abundance or excess. Historically, the temple treasury was a place where people would give offerings, often publicly, as a demonstration of their piety. The wealthy gave from their abundance, which, while generous, did not require personal sacrifice.
