Mark 12:28–34

²⁸And one of the scribes who had come up, and had heard them reasoning together, perceiving that he had answered them well, demanded of him, Which is the first commandment of all? ²⁹And Jesus answered him, The first commandment of all is, Hear, Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord; ³⁰and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment. ³¹And a second like it is this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is not another commandment greater than these. ³²And the scribe said to him, Right, teacher; thou hast spoken according to the truth. For he is one, and there is none other besides him; ³³and to love him with all the heart, and with all the intelligence, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self, is more than all the burnt-offerings and sacrifices. ³⁴And Jesus, seeing that he had answered intelligently, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared question him any more.
