The Great Commandment
28*A teacher of the Law was there who heard the discussion. He saw that Jesus had given the Sadducees a good answer, so he came to him with a question: “Which commandment is the most important of all?”
29*Jesus replied, “The most important one is this: ‘Listen, Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord.t 30*Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31*The second most important commandment is this: ‘Love your neighbour as you love yourself.’ There is no other commandment more important than these two.”

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

One of the teachers of religious law was standing there listening to the debate. He realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
