Jesus of Nazareth, A Biography, by John Mark by Unknown
page 50 of 65 (76%)

"And the second is like, namely this, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself.' There is none other commandment greater than these."

And the scribe said unto him, "Well, Master, thou hast said the truth:
for there is one God; and there is none other but he: 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 more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, "Thou
art not far from the kingdom of God."

And no man after that durst ask him any question.

And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple:

"How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David? For David
himself said by the Holy Ghost, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit thou on
my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool."' David
therefore himself calleth him 'Lord'; and whence is he then his son?"

And the common people heard him gladly. And he said unto them in his
doctrine:

"Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love
salutations in the market places, and the chief seats in the
synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: which devour widows'
houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive
greater damnation."
