Mark 12:28–44

²⁸And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them ^mmwell, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? ²⁹And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, ⁿHear, 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, ^oThou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. ³²And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said ^pthe truth: for there is one God; ^qand there is none other but he: ³³And to love him with all the heart, and with all ^rthe understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, ^sis more than all ^twhole burnt offerings and sacrifices. ³⁴And when Jesus ^usaw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. ^xAnd no man after that durst ask him any question.

^35yAnd Jesus answered and said, ^zwhile he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David? ³⁶For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, ^aThe Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. ³⁷David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people ^bheard him gladly.

^38cAnd he said unto them in his doctrine, ^dBeware of the scribes, which love to go in ^elong clothing, and love ^fgsalutations in the marketplaces, ³⁹And ^fthe chief seats in the synagogues, and ^fgthe uppermost rooms at feasts: ^40hWhich devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

⁴¹ⁱAnd Jesus sat over against ^kthe treasury, and beheld how the people cast ^||money ^linto the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. ⁴²And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two ^||mites, which make ^ma farthing. ⁴³And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ⁿthis poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into ^klthe treasury: ⁴⁴For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her ^owant did cast in all that she had, even ^pall her living.
