Markus 12:19-44

12:19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us: ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, that man ¹  must marry ²  the widow and father children ³  for his brother.’ ⁴  12:20 There were seven brothers. The first one married, ⁵  and when he died he had no children. 12:21 The second married her and died without any children, and likewise the third. 12:22 None of the seven had children. Finally, the woman died too. 12:23 In the resurrection, when they rise again, ⁶  whose wife will she be? For all seven had married her.” ⁷  12:24 Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you deceived ⁸  for this reason, because you don’t know the scriptures or the power of God? 12:25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels ⁹  in heaven. 12:26 Now as for the dead being raised, ¹⁰  have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, ¹¹  how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the ¹²  God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? ¹³  12:27 He is not the God of the dead but of the living. ¹⁴  You are badly mistaken!”

The Greatest Commandment

12:28 Now ¹⁵  one of the experts in the law ¹⁶  came and heard them debating. When he saw that Jesus ¹⁷  answered them well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” 12:29 Jesus answered, “The most important is: ‘Listen, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 12:30 Love ¹⁸  the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ ¹⁹  12:31 The second is: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ²⁰  There is no other commandment greater than these.” 12:32 The expert in the law said to him, “That is true, Teacher; you are right to say that he is one, and there is no one else besides him. ²¹  12:33 And to love him with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your strength ²²  and to love your neighbor as yourself ²³  is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 12:34 When Jesus saw that he had answered thoughtfully, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” Then no one dared any longer to question him.

The Messiah: David’s Son and Lord

12:35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he said, “How is it that the experts in the law ²⁴  say that the Christ ²⁵  is David’s son? ²⁶  12:36 David himself, by the Holy Spirit, said,

‘The Lord said to my lord, ²⁷ 

“Sit at my right hand,

until I put your enemies under your feet.”’ ²⁸ 

12:37 If David himself calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” ²⁹  And the large crowd was listening to him with delight.

Warnings About Experts in the Law

12:38 In his teaching Jesus ³⁰  also said, “Watch out for the experts in the law. ³¹  They like walking ³²  around in long robes and elaborate greetings ³³  in the marketplaces, 12:39 and the best seats in the synagogues ³⁴  and the places of honor at banquets. 12:40 They ³⁵  devour widows’ property, ³⁶  and as a show make long prayers. These men will receive a more severe punishment.”

The Widow’s Offering

12:41 Then ³⁷  he ³⁸  sat down opposite the offering box, ³⁹  and watched the crowd putting coins into it. Many rich people were throwing in large amounts. 12:42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, ⁴⁰  worth less than a penny. 12:43 He called his disciples and said to them, “I tell you the truth, ⁴¹  this poor widow has put more into the offering box ⁴²  than all the others. ⁴³  12:44 For they all gave out of their wealth. ⁴⁴  But she, out of her poverty, put in what she had to live on, everything she had.” ⁴⁵
