# Mr 12:28-34
\\One of the scribes came.\\

Matthew adds that the scribe asked his question, "tempting him";
that is, "testing him."

# Mr 12:34
\\Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.\\ Jesus commends
this Pharisee for his unusual perception. The majority of
Pharisees were immersed in strict observance of Moses' Law. But
this one saw the loving God and his neighbor was paramount.
Alford says: He stood, as it were, at the door of the kingdom of
God. He only wanted (but the want was indeed a serious one)
repentance and faith to be \\within\\ it.

# Mr 12:37
Mark adds to Matthew's account,
\\The common people heard him gladly.\\ Not the Pharisees,
scribes, Sadducees or rulers, but the common people, of whom the
Pharisees were wont to say, "This people who know not the law
and are cursed."
# Joh 7:49
We have many hints of the favour with which Christ was regarded
by the people.
(PNT 205)

# Mr 12:38-40
\\Beware of the scribes.\\ Mark gives in three verses his
report of the wonderful discourse recorded in Matthew, chapter
23. These three verses are parallel to
# Mt 23:5,6,14

See note on "Mt 23:6"

# Lu 20:45-47
\\Love to go in long clothing.\\ Peculiar to Mark. Long,
flowing robes, reaching to the feet, similar to those worn by
Romish priests, and were worn by the scribes as a kind of
professional attire, in order to attract attention. When Christ
sent his apostles out to preach, he directed that they should be
clothed as the common people.
# 6:9 Mt 10:10
\\The scribes\\, ancient and modern, love display, showing
themselves off in the chief places of concourse. They love
appellations of honour and respect, such as Rabbi, Father,
Master, Teacher. Men often profess a desire to magnify their
office, when in truth they want to magnify themselves. They love
robes that advertise to every one that they are separate from
the rest of the people.

# Mr 12:41
\\Jesus He sat opposite the treasury.\\ This incident of the
widow's mites is omitted by Matthew, but given in
# Lu 21:1-4
It is given as a contrast to the hypocrisy of the scribes.
\\Treasury.\\ A name given by the rabbis to thirteen chests,
called trumpets, from their shape, which stood in the court of
the women, at the entrance to the treasure-chamber. "Nine chests
were for the appointed temple tribute, and for the sacrifice-
tribute; that is, money-gifts instead of the sacrifices; four
chests for free-will offerings, for wood, incense, temple
decoration, and burnt offerings."--Lightfoot.
\\Beheld how the people cast money.\\ Jesus still takes note
of our offerings. Before the passover, free-will offerings, in
addition to the temple tax, were made.
(PNT 205)

# Mr 12:42
\\There came a certain poor widow.\\ Here, as in other places
in the Bible, we must remember the exceedingly depressed and
dependent condition of a poor man's widow in the countries where
our Lord was. The expression is almost proverbial for one very
badly off, and most unlikely to contribute anything to a
charitable purpose.
\\Two mites.\\ The smallest of Jewish coins, about the value
of one-fifth of a cent. It took its name from its extreme
smallness, being derived from the adjective signifying "thin."
\\A farthing.\\ Mark (not Luke) adds for his Roman readers an
explanation, using a Greek word (taken from the Latin), meaning
the fourth part, as our word "farthing" does. The value is only
of importance as showing upon how minute a gift our Lord
pronounced this splendid panegyric, which might be envied by a
Croesus or a Rothschild.
(PNT 206)

# Mr 12:43
\\Cast in more than all.\\ Note the word "more"--
proportionately, to-wit, to her means, and thus more in the
estimation of God, who measures quantity by quality.
(PNT 206)
01573
# Mr 12:44
\\For.\\ The worth of a gift is to be determined, not by
intrinsic value, but by what it costs the giver. The measure of
that cost is what is left, not what is given. For the widow to
give her mites was noble; for one well off to give "his mite" is
contemptible.
\\All that she had, [even] all her living.\\ Out of her want,
out of her destitution, she has cast in all that (in cash) she
possessed--her whole (present) means of subsistence. In love she
devoted all of God, with strong faith in his providential care.
(PNT 206)

# Mr 13:3
\\Peter and James and John and Andrew.\\ Matthew says "the
disciples came to him privately," but does not name them.
# Mt 24:3
\\Asked him privately.\\ "Privately" probably means apart
from the multitude. The destruction of the temple had been
publicly foretold.
# Mt 23:38 24:2
(PNT 206)

# Mr 13:9
\\Take heed.\\ Not to escape persecution, but to be ready for
it.
See notes on
"Mt 10:18"
"Mt 10:19"
\\They shall deliver you up to councils.\\ Jewish courts.
Besides the great national council, the Sanhedrin, each
principal town had a smaller council, or local Sanhedrin.
\\In the synagogues ye shall be beaten.\\ In every Jewish
synagogue there were three magistrates authorized to inflict
certain punishments, scourging being one. The number of stripes
could not exceed forty; hence they always stopped at thirty-
nine.
# De 25:3
\\Rulers and kings.\\ Roman officials, such as Felix, Festus,
Gallio, King Agrippa, and Nero.

# Mr 13:18
\\Pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.\\ Matthew
adds, "neither on the Sabbath day."
# Mt 24:20
The reasons for these admonitions to the Jerusalem church are
given in the notes on Matthew. The sign given by the Lord for
the flight, the environment of the city by the Romans, and the
panic that caused their sudden withdrawal, occurred on Tuesday,
in October. Hence the flight was neither in the winter, nor on
the Sabbath day.
