It was copper or bronze, worth one-half of a quadrans or 1/128 of a denarius. The parallel in Matt 5:26 mentions the quadrans instead of the lepton. The illustration refers to the debt one owes God and being sure to settle with him in the right time, before it is too late. Some interpreters, however, consider it to be like Matt 5:26 , which has similar imagery but a completely different context.","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Luke%2012%3A59/1"}
