32. And the scribe said to him: Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth that there is one God, and there is no other beside him;
33. and that he should be loved from the whole heart, and from the whole understanding, and from the whole soul, and from the whole strength. And to love one's neighbor as one's self is greater than all holocausts and sacrifices."
34. And Jesus, seeing that he had responded wisely, said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that, no one dared to question him.
35. And while teaching in the temple, Jesus said in answer: "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
36. For David himself said in the Holy Spirit: 'The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand, until I set your enemies as your footstool.'
37. Therefore, David himself calls him Lord, and so how can he be his son?" And a great multitude listened to him willingly.
38. And he said to them in his doctrine: "Beware of the scribes, who prefer to walk in long robes and to be greeted in the marketplace,
39. and to sit in the first chairs in the synagogues, and to have the first seats at feasts,
40. who devour the houses of widows under the pretense of long prayers. These shall receive the more extensive judgment."
41. And Jesus, sitting opposite the offertory box, considered the way in which the crowd cast coins into the offertory, and that many of the wealthy cast in a great deal.
42. But when one poor widow had arrived, she put in two small coins, which is a quarter.
43. And calling together his disciples, he said to them: "Amen I say to you, that this poor widow has put in more than all those who contributed to the offertory.
44. For they all gave from their abundance, yet truly, she gave from her scarcity, even all that she had, her entire living."
