Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:33 - and to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is much more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:40 - who devour widows’ houses, and for appearance’s sake offer long prayers. These will receive all the more condemnation.”
