28 And one of the scribes having come, having heard them reasoning together, having seen that He answered them well, questioned Him, “Which commandment is first of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God out of all your heart and out of all your soul and out of all your mind and out of all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is not another commandment greater than these.” 32 And the scribe said to Him, “Right, Teacher; You have spoken according to truth that He is One and that there is not another besides Him, 33 and to love Him out of all the heart and out of all the understanding and out of all the strength, and to love the neighbor as oneself is more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34 And Jesus, having seen him that he answered wisely, said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any longer.
