The
Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?
34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the
Sadducees, they gathered together.
35 Then one of
them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and
saying, 36
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said
to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.38 This is
the first and great commandment.
39 And the
second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as
yourself.40
On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
