She has done what she could This phrase highlights the woman's act of devotion and sacrifice. In the Greek, the word for "done" (ἐποίησεν) implies a completed action, emphasizing the finality and completeness of her deed.

Her act is a model of wholehearted devotion, reminiscent of the widow's offering in Mark 12:41-44, where Jesus commends giving out of poverty rather than abundance.
