And a certain one of the scribes, hearing them propounding questions, knowing that He answered them beautifully, asked Him, What is the first commandment of all? And Jesus responded to him, The first commandment of all; Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment. read more.
And the second is like unto it; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these. And the scribes said to Him, Truly, Teacher; thou hast spoken in truth that He is One; and there is no other besides Him. And love Him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to love thy neighbor as thyself is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
