Bible. Mark
012:028 Then one of the Scribes, who had heard them disputing and
well knew that Jesus had given them an answer to the point,
and a forcible one, came forward and asked Him, "Which is
the chief of all the Commandments?"
012:029 "The chief Commandment," replied Jesus, "is this:
'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;
012:030 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart,
thy whole soul, thy whole mind, and thy whole strength.'
012:031 "The second is this: 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as thou
lovest thyself.' "Other Commandment greater than these
there is none."
012:032 So the Scribe said to Him, "Rightly, in very truth, Rabbi, have you
said that He stands alone, and there is none but He;
012:033 and To love Him with all one's heart, with all one's understanding,
and with all one's strength, and to love one's fellow man
no less than oneself, is far better than all our whole
burnt-offerings and sacrifices."
012:034 Perceiving that the Scribe had answered wisely Jesus said
to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God."
No one from that time forward ventured to put any question to Him.
012:035 But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it
the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?
012:036 David himself said, taught by the Holy Spirit, "'The Lord said
to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I have made thy foes
a footstool under thy feet.'
012:037 "David himself calls Him 'Lord:' how then can He be his son?"
And the mass of people found pleasure in listening to Jesus.
012:038 Moreover in the course of His teaching He said, "Be on your
guard against the Scribes who like to walk about in long
robes and to be bowed to in places of public resort,
012:039 and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues and at dinner parties,
012:040 and who swallow up the property of widows and then mask their
wickedness by making long prayers: these men will receive
far heavier punishment."
012:041 Having taken a seat opposite the Treasury, He observed
how the people were dropping money into the Treasury,
and that many of the wealthy threw in large sums.
012:042 But there came one poor widow and dropped in two farthings,
equal in value to a halfpenny.
012:043 So He called His disciples to Him and said, "In solemn truth I
tell you that this widow, poor as she is, has thrown in more
than all the other contributors to the Treasury;
012:044 for they have all contributed out of what they could well spare,
but she out of her need has thrown in all she possessed--
all she had to live on."
013:001 As He was leaving the Temple, one of His disciples exclaimed,
"Look, Rabbi, what wonderful stones! what wonderful buildings!"
