So he asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-29.htm#aramaic"><b>29</b></a></span>Jesus said to him, The first of all commandments is, Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord; <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-30.htm#aramaic"><b>30</b></a></span>And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your power; this is the first commandment. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-31.htm#aramaic"><b>31</b></a></span>And the second is like to it, You must love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-32.htm#aramaic"><b>32</b></a></span>The scribe said to him, Well, Teacher, you have said the truth, that he is one, and there is no other beside him; <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-33.htm#aramaic"><b>33</b></a></span>And that a man should love him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the power, and love his neighbor as himself; this is far more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-34.htm#aramaic"><b>34</b></a></span>When Jesus saw that he replied wisely, he answered and said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no man dared again to question him.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-35.htm#aramaic"><b>35</b></a></span>And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How do the scribes say that Christ is the son of David?<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-36.htm#aramaic"><b>36</b></a></span>For David himself said through the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I put your enemies a stool under your feet.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-37.htm#aramaic"><b>37</b></a></span>Now therefore David himself calls him my Lord, and how can he be his son? And all the people heard him with pleasure.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-38.htm#aramaic"><b>38</b></a></span>And in his teaching he said to them, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love to be saluted in the streets, <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-39.htm#aramaic"><b>39</b></a></span>And the front seats in the synagogues, and the head places at banquets; <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-40.htm#aramaic"><b>40</b></a></span>Those who embezzle the property of widows, with the pretense of making long prayers. They shall receive greater judgment.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-41.htm#aramaic"><b>41</b></a></span>And when Jesus sat towards the treasury, he watched how the people cast their alms into the treasury; and many rich men were casting in a great deal. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-42.htm#aramaic"><b>42</b></a></span>And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two coins, which are farthings. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-43.htm#aramaic"><b>43</b></a></span>And Jesus called his disciples, and said to them, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow has cast in the treasury more than all the men who are casting; <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/mark/12-44.htm#aramaic"><b>44</b></a></span>For all of them cast of their abundance; but she of her poverty cast everything she had, even all of her possessions.<p><br /></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">Holy Bible From The Ancient Eastern Texts: Aramaic Of The Peshitta by George M.
