Penny, Pennyworth:
In the New Testament "penny," either alone or in the compound "pennyworth," occurs as the rendering of the Roman denarius (Matthew 20:2; 22:10; Mark 6:37; 12:15; Luke 20:24; John 6:7; Revelation 6:6). The denarius was the chief Roman silver coin, and was worth about 15 to 17 cents.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
