The word appears in the King James and some other versions in Mark 12:42 and Luke 21:2. The Greek in both places is lepton (two lepta), and Mark...
The coin arrived today! Thanks again. By the way, just today I discovered another Biblical connection. Herod Antipas had John the Baptist...
Looks like a jewelry job. Perhaps a tie tack or cuff link. Or would that be cuff Lincoln?
Thank you very much for the prize! May God bless you richly!

I don't know how accurate this is. If it is, then I have always accented it incorrectly. But then, who knows?...
There is a similar problem with biblical names. I had a preacher friend who, when someone would question his pronunciation would say, "They're...
