Context
12:33 And to love him with all your heart , with all your mind , and with all your strength and to love your neighbor as yourself 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 say that the Christ is David’s son ?
12:36 David himself , by the Holy Spirit , said , ‘The Lord said to my lord , “Sit at my right hand , until I put your enemies under your feet .”’
12:37 If David himself calls him ‘Lord ,’ how can he be his son ?” And the large crowd was listening to him with delight .
Warnings About Experts in the Law
12:38 In his teaching Jesus also said , “Watch out for the experts in the law . They like walking around in long robes and elaborate greetings in the marketplaces ,
12:39 and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets .
12:40 They devour widows ’ property , and as a show make long prayers . These men will receive a more severe punishment .”
The Widow’s Offering
12:41 Then he sat down opposite the offering box , 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 , worth less than a penny .
12:43 He called his disciples and said to them , “I tell you the truth , this poor widow has put more into the offering box than all the others .
12:44 For they all gave out of their wealth . But she , out of her poverty , put in what she had to live on, everything she had.”
