MATTHEW 22: 34-40
THE GREAT COMMANDMENT
When the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled in a body; and one of them, a lawyer, in an attempt to trip him up, asked Him, "Teacher, which commandment of the law is the greatest?"
Jesus said to him:
’You shall love the Lord your God
with your whole heart,
with your whole soul,
and with all your mind’
This is the greatest and first commandment.
The second is like it:
’You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
On these two commandments the whole law is based, and the prophets as well.
