the treasury

The inner area of the Temple contained three courts. The easternmost court was the Court of Women, and it contained the Temple treasury where people donated their money (Mk 12:41-44). Three gates led into this court, one on the north, one on the south, and a third on the east. This third gate was probably the "Beautiful Gate" (Acts 3:2,10).
