From Matthew 22
34
But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced
the Sadducees with his reply, they met together to
question him again. 35
One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to
trap him with this question:
36 “Teacher, which is the most important
commandment in the law of Moses?”
37
Jesus replied,
“‘You must love the Lord
your God with all your heart, all your soul,
and all your mind.’[e]
38
This is the first and greatest commandment.
39
A second is equally important: ‘Love your
neighbor as yourself.’[f]
40
The entire law and all the demands of the
prophets are based on these two commandments.” |
