12:36. For David himself saith by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my
Lord: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
12:37. David therefore himself calleth him Lord. And whence is he then
his son? And a great multitude heard him gladly.
12:38. And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who
love to walk in long robes and to be saluted in the marketplace,
12:39. And to sit in the first chairs in the synagogues and to have the
highest places at suppers:
12:40. Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long
prayer. These shall receive greater judgment.
12:41. And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the
people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich cast in
much.
12:42. And there came a certain poor widow: and she cast in two mites,
which make a farthing.
12:43. And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say
to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast
into the treasury.
12:44. For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want
cast in all she had, even her whole living.
Mark Chapter 13
Christ foretells the destruction of the temple and the signs that shall
forerun the day of judgment.
13:1. And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said
to him: Master, behold what manner of stones and what buildings are
here.
13:2. And Jesus answering, said to him: Seest thou all these great
buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not
be thrown down.
13:3. And as he sat on the mount of Olivet over against the temple,
Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart:
13:4. Tell us, when shall these things be and what shall be the sign
when all these things shall begin to be fulfilled?
13:5. And Jesus answering, began to say to them: Take heed lest any man
deceive you.
13:6. For many shall come in my name saying, I am he: and they shall
deceive many.
13:7. And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not.
For such things must needs be: but the end is not yet.
13:8. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be earthquakes in divers places and famines. These
things are the beginning of sorrows.
13:9. But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you Up to
councils: and in the synagogues you shall be beaten: and you shall
stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto
them.
13:10. And unto all nations the gospel must first be preached.
13:11. And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not
thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak: but whatsoever shall be
given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak,
but the Holy Ghost.
13:12. And the brother shall betray his brother unto death, and the
father his son; and children shall rise up against their parents and
shall work their death.
