32
And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth that there is one God and there is no other besides him.
33
And that he should be loved with the whole heart and with the whole understanding and with the whole soul and with the whole strength. And to love one’s neighbour as one’s self is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices.
34
And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
35
And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say that Christ is the son of David?
36
For David himself saith by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my Lord: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
37
David therefore himself calleth him Lord. And whence is he then his son? And a great multitude heard him gladly.
38
And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes and to be saluted in the marketplace,
39
And to sit in the first chairs in the synagogues and to have the highest places at suppers:
40
Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long prayer. These shall receive greater judgment.
41
And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich cast in much.
42
And there came a certain poor widow: and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
