nd seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was
the first commandment of all.

12:29. And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O
Israel: the Lord thy God is one God.

12:30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and
with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind and with thy whole strength.
This is the first commandment.

12:31. And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

12:32. 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.

12:33. 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.

12:34. 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.

12:35. And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the
scribes say that Christ is the son of David?

12:36. 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.

12:37. David therefore himself calleth him Lord. And whence is he then
his son? And a great multitude heard him gladly.

12:38. 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,

12:39. And to sit in the first chairs in the synagogues and to have the
highest places at suppers:

12:40. Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long
prayer. These shall receive greater judgment.

12:41. And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the
people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich cast in
much.

12:42. And there came a certain poor widow: and she cast in two mites,
which make a farthing.

12:43. And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say
to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast
into the treasury.

12:44. For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want
cast in all she had, even her whole living.

Mark Chapter 13

Christ foretells the destruction of the temple and the signs that shall
forerun the day of judgment.

13:1. And as he was going out of the tem
