Matthew 22:34-40 ▼

34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.

35 One of them, a Law scholar, asked him a question, testing him.

36 |Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?|

37 He said to him, |'You are to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

38 This is the great and first commandment.

39 A second likewise is this, 'You are to love your neighbor as yourself.'

40 The whole Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments.|
