Then a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with him!"

"You have heard that it was said, "You must love your neighbor' and hate your enemy.

But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,

If you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Even the tax collectors do the same, don't they?

"And whenever you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to stand in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they will be seen by people. I tell all of you with certainty, they have their full reward!

"No one can serve two masters, because either he will hate one and love the other, or be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and riches!"

"Here is my Servant whom I have chosen, whom I love, and with whom I am pleased! I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to unbelievers.

He was still speaking when a bright cloud suddenly overshadowed them. A voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with him. Keep on listening to him!"

Jesus said, ""You must not murder, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and, "you must love your neighbor as yourself.'"

Jesus told him, ""You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

The second is exactly like it: "You must love your neighbor as yourself.'

They love to have the places of honor at festivals, the best seats in the synagogues,

and because lawlessness will increase, the love of many people will grow cold.
