Husteresis denotes a state of lacking resources or being in need, whether in giving or personal circumstances.

The two occurrences depict lack or need: Mark 12:44 contrasts a woman's limited means with others' excess, while Philippians 4:11 speaks of not speaking from need. The evidence supports one attested use rather than separate lexical senses.
