And
Jesus seeing him, that he answered understandingly, said to him, You
are not far from the kingdom of God; and no one dared to question him
more.

12 [12:35]And Jesus answered and said, teaching in the temple, How do
the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? [12:36]David
himself said, by the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my
right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool. [12:37]David
himself calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the great
multitude heard him gladly.

13 [12:38]And he said to them in his teaching, Beware of the scribes
who desire to walk in long robes, and desire salutations in the
markets, [12:39]and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first
places at feasts; [12:40]who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence
make long prayers. They shall receive a greater judgment.

14 [12:41]And sitting opposite to the treasury, he observed how the
multitude cast copper into the treasury. And many rich men cast in
much; [12:42]and one poor widow came and cast in two lepta, which is a
quadrans [4 mills]. [12:43] And calling his disciples, he said to them,
I tell you truly, that this poor widow has cast in more than all who
have cast into the treasury. [12:44]For all [others] have cast in of
their abundance; but she of her want has cast in all that she had her
entire living.

CHAPTER XII.

CHRIST PREDICTING THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM, AND OF THE JEWISH
COMMONWEALTH.

1 [13:1]AND as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to
him, Teacher, see what stones, and what buildings! [13:2]And Jesus
said to him, Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be left
a stone upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down. [13:3]And as he
sat on the mount of Olives, opposite to the temple, Peter, and James,
and John, and Andrew, asked him privately, [13:4]Tell us when shall
these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things are
about to be accomplished? [13:5]And Jesus said to them, See that no man
deceives you; [13:6]for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [the
Christ], and shall deceive many. [13:7]And when you hear of wars and
rumors of wars, be not afraid, for these things must be; but the end is
not yet. [13:8]For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in [different] places,
and there shall be famines. These are the beginnings of sorrows.
