Mark 12:26-44

26But 1regardingG4012 the factG3754 that the deadG3498 riseG1453 againG1453, have you not readG314 in the bookG976 of MosesG3475, 2in the passage aboutG1909 the burning bushG942, howG4459 GodG2316 spokeG3004 to him, sayingG3004, ‘3I am the GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, and the GodG2316 of IsaacG2464, and the GodG2316 of JacobG2384’? 274He is not the GodG2316 5of the deadG3498, but of the livingG2198; you are greatlyG4183 mistakenG4105.”

286OneG1520 of the scribesG1122 cameG4334 and heardG191 them arguingG4802, and 7recognizingG3708 that He had answeredG611 them wellG2573, askedG1905 Him, “WhatG4169 commandmentG1785 is the 8foremostG4413 of allG3956?” 29JesusG2424 answeredG611, “The foremostG4413 is, ‘9HearG191, O IsraelG2474! The LordG2962 our GodG2316 is oneG1520 LordG2962; 3010and you shall loveG25 the LordG2962 your GodG2316 with allG3650 your heartG2588, and with allG3650 your soulG5590, and with allG3650 your mindG1271, and with allG3650 your strengthG2479.’ 31The secondG1208 is thisG3778, ‘11You shall loveG25 your neighborG4139 as yourselfG4572.’ There is noG3756 otherG243 commandmentG1785 greaterG3173 than theseG3778.” 32The scribeG1122 saidG3004 to Him, “RightG2573, TeacherG1320; You have trulyG1909G225 statedG3004 that 12He is OneG1520, and there is noG3756 oneG243 elseG243 besidesG4133 Him; 3313and to loveG25 Him with allG3650 the heartG2588 and with allG3650 the understandingG4907 and with allG3650 the strengthG2479, and to loveG25 one’s neighborG4139 as himselfG1438, 14is muchG4053 moreG4053 than allG3956 burntG3646 offeringsG3646 and sacrificesG2378.” 34When JesusG2424 sawG3708 that he had answeredG611 intelligentlyG3562, He saidG3004 to him, “You are not farG3112 from the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.” 15After that, noG3762 oneG3762 would ventureG5111 to askG1905 Him anyG3765 moreG3765 questionsG1905.

3516And JesusG2424 began to sayG3004, as He 17taughtG1321 in the templeG2413, “HowG4459 is it that the scribesG1122 sayG3004 that 18the ChristG5547 is the 19sonG5207 of DavidG1160? 36DavidG1160 himselfG846 saidG3004 20in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, ‘21The LordG2962 saidG3004 to my LordG2962, “SitG2521 at My rightG1188 handG1188, UntilG2193 I putG5087 Your enemiesG2190 beneathG5270 Your feetG4228.”’ 37DavidG1160 himselfG846 callsG3004 Him ‘LordG2962’; soG2532 in whatG4159 senseG4159 is He his sonG5207?” And 22the largeG4183 crowdG3793 23enjoyedG2234 listeningG191 to Him.

3824In His teachingG1322 He was sayingG3004: “BewareG991 of the scribesG1122 who likeG2309 to walkG4043 aroundG4043 in longG4749 robesG4749, and like 25respectful greetingsG783 in the marketG58 placesG58, 39and chiefG4410 seatsG4410 in the synagoguesG4864 and placesG4411 of honorG4411 at banquetsG1173, 4026who devourG2719 widows’G5503 housesG3614, and for appearance’sG4392 sakeG4392 offerG4336 longG3117 prayersG4336; theseG3778 will receiveG2983 greaterG4053 condemnationG2917.”

4127And He satG2523 downG2523 oppositeG2713 28the treasuryG1049, and began observingG2334 howG4459 the peopleG4145 were 29puttingG906 30moneyG5475 into the treasuryG1049; and manyG4183 richG4145 peopleG4145 were puttingG906 in largeG4183 sumsG4183. 42A poorG4434 widowG5503 cameG2064 and putG906 in twoG1417 31smallG3016 copperG3016 coinsG3016, whichG3739 amountG1510 to a 32centG2835. 43CallingG4341 His disciplesG3101 to Him, He saidG3004 to them, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, thisG3778 poorG4434 widowG5503 putG906 in moreG4183 than allG3956 33the contributorsG906 to the treasuryG1049; 44for they allG3956 putG906 in out of their 34surplusG4052, but she, out of her povertyG5304, putG906 in allG3956G3745 she ownedG2192, 35allG3650 she had 36to liveG979 on.”
