12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living1: ye do greatly err2.
12:28 And one of the scribes came1, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all2?
12:29 Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one1:
12:30 and 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 strengt1h.
12:31 The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself1. There is none other commandment greater than these2.
12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Of a truth, Teacher, thou hast well said that he is one; and there is none other but he1:
12:34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God1. And no man after that durst ask him any question2.
12:35 And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David1?
12:36 David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet2.
12:37 David himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he his son? And the common people heard him gladly1.
12:38 And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes1, who desire to walk in long robes2, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces3,
12:39 and chief seats in the synagogues1, and chief places at feasts2:
12:40 they that devour widows' houses1, and for a pretence make long prayers2; these shall receive greater condemnation3.
12:41 And he sat down over against the treasury1, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury2: and many that were rich cast in much.
12:42 And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing1.
12:43 And he called unto him his disciples1, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury2:
12:44 for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living1.
