Luke 12:33 is part of a larger discourse where Jesus encourages His followers to prioritize spiritual wealth over material possessions. He reassures them not to fear, as God is pleased to give them the kingdom. This passage emphasizes the importance of generosity and the eternal rewards that come from giving to those in need, contrasting earthly wealth with heavenly treasures.

The Key Word — ἐλεημοσύνην, eleēmosunēgenerated
The word ἐλεημοσύνη (eleemosunē) refers to acts of charity or almsgiving, derived from the root ἐλεέω, meaning to show mercy. It signifies a compassionate response to those in need, highlighting the moral obligation to help the poor.
In this verse, it is used in the context of giving to the needy, reflecting Jesus' teaching on the importance of generosity. The lexicons consistently affirm its association with mercy and kindness toward the less fortunate.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as give to the poor, which is echoed in the KJV and ASV. These versions maintain the focus on charitable giving.
Where translations differ is primarily on the rendering of ἐλεημοσύνην. The KJV and others use alms, while the WEB opts for gifts to the needy, emphasizing the act of giving rather than the term for charity.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is πωλήσατε, sell, which governs the actions of selling and giving. This is followed by a series of clauses that detail what to do with the proceeds and the nature of the treasure being stored.
The structure includes imperative verbs directing the audience to sell possessions and give alms, creating a clear call to action. The clauses are tightly linked, emphasizing the relationship between earthly actions and heavenly rewards.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ἐλεημοσύνη does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint but is conceptually linked to the Hebrew terms for charity and kindness, such as חֶסֶד (chesed), which emphasizes mercy and benevolence.
The idea of almsgiving as a form of righteousness is consistent with Old Testament teachings on caring for the poor, as seen in various passages that highlight the importance of generosity.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Luke 12:33 teaches that Jesus encourages His followers to sell their possessions and give to the poor, promising that they will have treasures in heaven that cannot be destroyed. This highlights the importance of generosity and the eternal value of helping those in need.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Giving alms refers to the act of providing for the poor and needy, often through financial support or charitable donations, as a demonstration of compassion.
Jesus emphasizes this to redirect His followers' focus from temporary earthly wealth to eternal spiritual rewards, encouraging them to invest in what lasts forever.
You can apply this teaching by looking for opportunities to help those in need, whether through financial support, volunteering, or acts of kindness.
This means that spiritual rewards and the impact of generous actions endure beyond this life, unlike material possessions that can be lost or damaged.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways can I be more generous with my resources?
- How does the idea of eternal treasures influence my view of material possessions?
- What practical steps can I take to support those in need in my community?
- How can I remind myself daily of the importance of storing up treasures in heaven?

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Vendite quæ possidetis, et date eleemosynam. Facite vobis sacculos, qui non veterascunt, thesaurum non deficientem in cælis : quo fur non appropriat, neque tinea corrumpit.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

πωλέω (pōleō) means to sell or barter, derived from a root suggesting trade. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as in Luke 17:28 and Revelation 13:17, often referring to the act of selling goods or property. The lexicons agree on its primary meaning, with no significant disagreement noted.
πωλέω, -ῶ,
[in LXX chiefly for מכר;]
to exchange or barter.
πωλέω, -&; imp. ἐπώλουν; 1 aor. ἐπώλησα ; pres. pass. πωλοῦμαι; (πέλω, πέλομαι, to turn, turn about, [Curtius § 633 p. 470], fr. which [through the noun πωλή; Lod. in Bttm. Ausf. Spr. ii. 57 bot.] πωλοῦμαι, Lat. versor, foll. by εἰς with acc. of place, to frequent a place; ef. the Lat. venio and veneo); fr. Hdt. down; Sept. for 720; prop. to barter, i. 6. to sell: absol.

πωλέω. From meaning originally ‘‘put up for sale’’ (sendzfo) πωλέω came to mean simply ‘‘sell” (endo). This later sense, which alone is found in the NT, can be fully illustrated from the papyri, e.g. PSI IV. 3567 (B.c. 253-2) οὐθεὶς οὖν ἐν τοῖς τόποις πωλεῖ πρὸς σῖτον, ἀλλὰ πρὸς ἀργύριον, P Ryl LL. 1138 (Δ.1.133) μόλις πάντα τὰ ἐμαυτοῦ πωλήσας ἐδυνήθην πληρῶσαι, “I was with difficulty able to complete this by selling all my property ” (cf.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word ὑπάρχω (*hyparcho*) is built from the roots meaning 'under' and 'begin.' It encompasses meanings such as 'to begin,' 'to exist,' and 'to belong to.' In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, including Acts 19:40 and 28:18, where it conveys existence or possession. Notably, the lexicons do not present significant disagreement regarding its meanings.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἐλεημοσύνη (i.e., *eleemosynē*) means mercy or pity and specifically refers to acts of charity or almsgiving. It is derived from the root ἐλεέω and is used in the New Testament to describe acts of kindness towards the poor, as seen in verses like Matthew 6:2-4 and Luke 11:41. The lexicons indicate that it has a strong connection to concepts of beneficence and compassion.

ἐλεημοσύνη. In the Christian P Gen I. 51° the writer, after petitioning a certain Amminaeus to use his influence in preventing a widow’s only son from being taken on military service, conlinues—kal 6 @(€d)s ἀποδιδῖ (/. ἀποδιδοῖ) σίο]ι πρὸς τὴν ἐϊλ]εημωσύνην σου. McNeile’s statement (σα Mt 62) that the word is not used specifically for ‘‘almsgiving” earlier than B. Sira will require modification if the early date ascribed to Tobit, in which the word is very frequent, is accepted (cf. Oxford Apocrypha i. p. 183 ff.). The word survives in this sense in MGr.

Not found in the Old Testament, but repeatedly in the New. The Mosaic legislation (Lev. 25:35; Deut. 15:7) tended to promote a spirit of charity, and to prevent the occurrence of destitution among the people. Such passages as these, Ps. 41:1; 112:9; Prov. 14:31; Isa. 10:2; Amos 2:7; Jer. 5:28; Ezek. 22:29, would also naturally foster the same benevolent spirit.
The duty of alms-giving, especially in kind, consisting chiefly in portions to be left designedly from produce of the field, the vineyard and the oliveyard, (Leviticus 19:9,10; 23:22; 15:11; 24:19; 26:2-13; Ruth 2:2) is strictly enjoined by the law. Every third year also, (14:28) each proprietor was directed to share the tithe of his produce with "the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless and the widow." The theological estimate of alms-giving among the Jews is indicated in the following passages: (Job 31:17; Proverbs 10:2; 11:4; Esther 9:22; Psalms 112:9;

ποιέω is a Greek verb meaning 'to make' or 'to do,' with a wide range of applications including creating, producing, or performing actions. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts relating to God's creative acts or human actions, such as making sacrifices or preparing feasts. Notably, it can also imply causing something to happen or fulfilling a purpose. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

μή (mē) is a Greek negative particle used to express subjective negation, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It contrasts with οὐ (ou), which indicates absolute denial. μή can function as an adverb meaning 'not' or as a conjunction meaning 'lest.' It appears in various grammatical constructions, including prohibitions and deliberative questions, and is referenced in verses like Matthew 5:29 and John 3:18.
μή,
subjective negative particle,
used where the negation depends on a condition or hypothesis, expressed or understood, as distinct from οὐ, which denies absolutely. μή is used where one thinks a thing is not, as distinct from an absolute negation. As a general rule, οὐ negatives the indic., μή the other moods, incl, ptcp. [In LXX for אֵין, אַיִן, אַל.]
As a neg. adv., not;
with ref. to thought or opinion: Jo 3:18, Tit 1:11, II Pe 1:9.
μή, Sept. for Ox, |X, PN, ἃ particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that ov denies the thing itself (orto speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively). but μή denies the thought of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of some one (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively). This distinction holds also of the compounds οὐδείς, μηδείς, οὐκέτι, μηκέτι, ete.

The Greek word ἀνέκλειπτος (anekleiptos) is built from a negative prefix and a root meaning 'to fail.' It encompasses meanings like 'unfailing' and 'inexhaustible.' The New Testament uses it in Luke 12:33, where it describes something that does not fail. Liddell-Scott mentions additional nuances like 'incessant' and 'infinite,' which are not highlighted in other entries.

a primary preposition denoting (fixed) position (in place, time or

import; rarely with verbs of motion, and then not to indicate
direction, except (elliptically) by a separate (and different)
preposition.

PREP PREPosition
A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

οὐρανός (ouranos) means heaven or sky, often referring to both the physical vault above and the spiritual realm where God and angels reside. It is used in various contexts, including the universe and divine authority, appearing frequently in the New Testament. Notably, some lexicons mention its use in a metaphorical sense, while others focus on its physical aspects.

Above these, in popular conception, were the celestial heavens, the abode of God and of the hosts of angels (Ps 11:4; 103:19-21; Isa 66:1; Re 4:2; 5:11; compare Da 7:10), though it was recognized that Yahweh's presence was not confined to any region (1Ki 8:27). Later Judaism reckoned seven heavens. The apostle Paul speaks of himself as caught up into "the third heaven," which he evidently identifies with Paradise (2Co 12:2).

The Greek word ὅπου (i.e., *hopou*) is an adverb meaning 'where' or 'whither.' It is derived from two components and is used in various contexts, including relative clauses and indirect questions. The New Testament employs it to denote locations and conditions, as seen in verses like Matthew 6:19 and Revelation 2:13. It can also express time or cause, as noted in 1 Corinthians 3:3.

The Greek word κλέπτης (i.e., *kleptēs*) means 'thief' and is derived from the verb κλέπτω (i.e., *kleptō*), which means 'to steal.' It refers to someone who steals secretly or by deceit, contrasting with λῃστής (i.e., *lēstēs*), which denotes a robber who uses violence. The New Testament uses this term in various contexts, including literal theft and metaphorically for false teachers.
THESE words occur together John x. 1, 8; but do not constitute there! or elsewhere a tautology, or mere rhetorical amplification (cf. Obad. 5; Plato, Rep. i. 851 c). The κλέπτης and the λῃστής alike appropriate what is not theirs, but the κλέπτης by fraud and in secret (Matt. xxiv. 43; John xii. 6; ef. Exod. xxii. 2; Jer. 11. 26); the λῃστής by violence and openly (2 Cor. xi. 26 ; cf. Hos. vii. 1; Jer. vii. 11; Plutarch, De Superst. 8: οὐ φοβεῖται λῃστὰς 6 οἰκουρῶν) ; the one is the ‘thief’ and steals; the other is the ‘robber’ and plunders, as his name, from ληΐς or λεία (as our own ‘robber,’ from ‘Raub,’ booty), sufficiently declares. They are severally the ‘fur’ and ‘latro;’ ‘fures insidiantur et occulta fraude decipiunt ; datrones audacter aliena diripiunt’ (Jerome, In Osee, vii. 1). ‘Larron,’ however, in French, ‘voleur qui dérobe furtivement et par adresse,’ notwithstanding its…

With Paul’s list of vices in 1 Cor 69 ἢ Deissmann (LAE p. 320f.) compares the popular names of vices in Latin on the backs of ¢esserae or counters, which were used in an ancient game resembling draughts : thus corresponding to κλέπται we have fur, and to ἅρπαγες arfax. With the use of κλέπται for ‘‘false teachers’’ in Jn 108 we may perhaps compare the mention of apes in a census-paper containing a list of professions, P Petr III. 59 (a)i-9® (Ptol.). These, as the editors point out, can hardly be ‘‘ thieves” in the ordinary sense of the word: they were more likely ‘searchers for stolen property” on the principle ‘‘set a thief to catch a thief.”’…

thef: In the Old Testament the uniform translation (17 times) of gannabh, from ganabh, "steal," but gannabh is rather broader than the English "thief," and may even include a kidnapper (De 24:7). In Apocrypha and the New Testament, the King James Version uses "thief" indifferently for kleptes, and lestes, but the Revised Version (British and American) always renders the latter word by "robber" (a great improvement), See CRIMES. The figurative use of thief" as one coming without warning" (Mt 24:43, etc.) needs no explanation.

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.

The Greek word ἐγγίζω (i.e., *eggizō*) means to come near or approach. It is built from the root meaning 'near' and is used in various contexts, including approaching a place or time, and metaphorically in relation to God. The New Testament uses it frequently, particularly in references to drawing near to God (James 4:8) and the imminent arrival of the kingdom (Matthew 3:2).

The Greek word οὐδέ (oude) is a negative particle that functions as a conjunction meaning 'and not' or 'nor,' and as an adverb meaning 'not even.' It combines elements of negation and exclusion, often appearing in phrases like 'neither... nor.' The New Testament uses it in various contexts, such as in Matthew 6:15 and Acts 4:32.
οὐδέ, [fr. Hom. down], a neg. disjunctive conjunction, compounded of ov and δέ, and therefore prop. i. q. but not; generally, however, its oppositive force being lost, it serves to continue a negation. [On the elision of ε when the next word begins with a vowel (observed by Tdf. in eight instances, neglected in fifty-eight), see TW. Proleg. p. 96; cf. WH. App. p. 146; W.§5, 1 a.; B. p. 10 sq.] It signifies 1. and not, continuing a negation, yet differently from οὔτε; for the latter connects parts or members of the same thing, since τέ is adjunctive like the Lat. que; but οὐδέ places side by side things that are equal and mutually exclude each other [(?). There appears to be some mistake here in what is said about ‘mutual exclusion’ (cf. W. § 55, 6): οὐδέ, like δέ, always makes reference to something preceding; οὔτε to what follows also; the connection of clauses negatived by οὔτε is…

σής is a noun meaning 'moth,' specifically referring to the clothes moth that damages woolen fabrics. It appears in the New Testament in Matthew 6:19-20 and Luke 12:33, where it serves as a metaphor for decay and impermanence. The word has Hebrew origins and is used metaphorically to describe bookworms in literary contexts.

σής, *‘a moth.” As a parallel to Mt 659 Lendrum cites (CR xx. (1906), p. 307) Pindar /ragm. 222— Διὸς παῖς ὁ χρυσός᾽ κεῖνον οὐ σὴς οὐδὲ κὶς δάπτει.

moth (`ash; compare Arabic `uththat, "moth"; colloquial, `itt; cac, "worm" (Isa 51:8); compare Arabic sus, "worm," especially an insect larva in flesh, wood or grain; ses, "moth" (Mt 6:19,20; Lu 12:33); setobrotos, "moth-eaten" (Jas 5:2)):
The moths constitute the larger division of the order Lepidoptera. Two of the points by which they are distinguished from butterflies are that they are generally nocturnal and that their antennae are not club-shaped. Further, the larva in many cases spins a cocoon for the protection of the pupa or chrysalis, which is never the case with butterflies. The Biblical references are to the clothes-moth, i.e. various species of the genus Tinea…
Moth
Heb. ‘ash, from a root meaning “to fall away,” as moth-eaten garments fall to pieces (Job 4:19; 13:28; Isa. 50:9; 51:8; Hos. 5:12).
Gr. ses, thus rendered in Matt. 6:19, 20; Luke 12:33. Allusion is thus made to the destruction of clothing by the larvae of the clothes-moth. This is the only lepidopterous insect referred to in Scripture.
By the Hebrew word we are certainly to understand some species of clothes-moth (tinea). Reference to the destructive habits of the clothes-moth is made in (Job 4:19; 13:28; Psalms 39:11) etc. (The moth is a well-known insect which in its caterpillar state is very destructive to woollen clothing, furs, etc. The egg of the moth, being deposited on the fur or cloth, produces a very small shining insect, which immediately forms a house for itself by cuttings from the cloth. It east away the nap, and finally ruins the fabric. There are more than 1500 species of moths. --McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopedia.)
The common moth is an insect destructive to woolen cloths. The egg is laid by a small shining worm; which by another transformation becomes a miller. Allusions to the moth, as devouring clothes, and as a frail and feeble insect, are frequent in Scripture, Job 4:19 13:28 27:18 Isa 50:9 Ho 5:12 Mt 6:19,20. See GARMENTS.
The insects called in general moths, of which the above is only one species, are exceedingly numerous. The main genus is called by naturalists Phaloena, and contains more than fifteen hundred species. Moths fly abroad only in the evening and night; differing in this respect from the tribe of butterflies that fly only by day. Their larva, or the worms from which…
