Mark 12:26-44

26And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

28And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 29And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these. 32And the scribe said to him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is no other but he: 33And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 34And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that dared ask him any question .

35And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David? 36For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool. 37David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and how is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly. 38And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who love to go in long clothing, and love greetings in the marketplaces, 39And the best seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost places at feasts: 40Who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.

41And Jesus sat opposite the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.1 42And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.2 43And he called his disciples, and saith to them, Verily I say to you, That this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury: 44For all they cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all that she had, even all her living.
