y strength. This
is the first commandment. (31)Second is this: Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
(32)And the scribe said to him: Well, Teacher; thou saidst truly that
he is one, and there is no other beside him; (33)and 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 neighbor as himself, is
more than all the whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices. (34)And Jesus,
seeing that he answered intelligently, said to him: Thou art not far
from the kingdom of God. And no one dared any longer to question him.

AND as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him:
Teacher, see what manner of stones, and what manner of buildings!
(2)And Jesus said to him: Seest thou these great buildings? There

(3)And as he was sitting on the mount of the Olives, over against the
temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately:
(4)Tell us, when will these things be? And what is the sign when all
