Good point. What is interesting is how desperately poor people were during this time. People rarely could afford food. Even if they could read and the Bible was available in their language, people would have spent their money on food.
For some of us, we have become so accustomed to having disposable cash that it is difficult to fathom the hard choices of the poor.
