Mark 12:26-44

26But concerning the dead that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the section of] the bush, how 1God spoke to him, saying, I [am] the 2God of Abraham, and the 3God of Isaac, and the 4God of Jacob? 27He is not the 5God of [the] dead, but of [the] living. Ye therefore greatly err. 28And one of the scribes who had come up, and had heard them reasoning together, perceiving that he had answered them well, demanded of him, Which is [the] first commandment of all? 29And Jesus answered him, [The] first commandment of all [is], Hear, Israel: the Lord our 6God is one Lord; 30and thou shalt love the Lord thy 7God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding, and with all thy strength. This is [the] first commandment. 31And a second like it [is] this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is not another commandment greater than these. 32And the scribe said to him, Right, teacher; thou hast spoken according to [the] truth. For he is one, and there is none other besides him; 33and to love him with all the heart, and with all the intelligence, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is more than all the burnt-offerings and sacrifices. 34And Jesus, seeing that he had answered intelligently, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of 8God. And no one dared question him any more. 35And Jesus answering said [as he was] teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David? 36[for] David himself said [speaking] in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet. 37David himself [therefore] calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the mass of the people heard him gladly. 38And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and salutations in the marketplaces, 39and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers; 40who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment. 41And Jesus, having sat down opposite the treasury, saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury; and many rich cast in much. 42And a poor widow came and cast in two mites, which is a farthing. 43And having called his disciples to [him] he said to them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow has cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury: 44for all have cast in of that which they had in abundance, but she of her destitution has cast in all that she had, the whole of her living.
