33. and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34. When Yeshua saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.”No one dared ask him any question after that.
35. Yeshua responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Messiah 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 make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
37. Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.
38. In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,
39. and the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts:
40. those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
41. Yeshua sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
42. A poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.
43. He called his disciples to himself, and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,
44. for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”
