# Connecting Statement:
Jesus begins teaching his disciples, but it is uncertain whether this occurs on the same day that the Sadducees question Jesus ([Luke 20:27](../20/27.md)) or on a different day. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-background]])
# gifts
You may need to make explicit what the gifts are. Alternate translation: "gifts of money" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
# treasury
The "treasury" means the boxes in the temple courtyard where people put money as a gift to God.
