. This is
the first commandment. (31)And the second, like it, is this; Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself: there is no greater commandment than
these. (32)And the scribe said unto him, Admirably, Master! thou hast
spoken the very truth: for there is one God; and there is no other
besides 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 neighbour as himself, is better than all burnt offerings, and
sacrifices. (34)And Jesus perceiving that he had answered as a man of
intelligence, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.
And no man thenceforth presumed to question him.
(35)And Jesus addressing them said, as he taught in the temple, How say
the scribes that the Messiah is the Son of David? (36)for David himself

hand, until I make thy enemies the foot-stool for thy feet. (37)David
himself therefore calleth him Lord; and whence then is he his son? And
a vast multitude heard him with delight.

synagogues, and the first couch at suppers: (40)who devour widows'
houses, and in pretence make long prayers: such shall receive greater
damnation.
(41)And as Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, he saw a multitude
casting money into the treasury: and many who were rich cast in many
_pieces_. (42)And one poor widow coming, cast in two mites, which is a
farthing. (43)And having called his disciples, he said unto them, I
tell you truly, that this poor widow hath cast in more than all who
have cast into the treasury: (44)for all they have cast in of their
superfluities; but she from her indigence hath cast in all that she
had, even her whole substance.

AND as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said unto
him, Master, behold what vast stones, and what structures! (2)And Jesus
answering said to him, Beholdest thou these magnificent structures?
there shall not be left one stone upon another which shall not be
thrown down. (3)And as he was sitting on the mount of Olives, opposite
the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
(4)Tell us, when shall these things be? and what is the sign when all
