New Testament
Mark 12:28-34
Love God and Your Neighbor
28One of the experts in the law approached after he heard their discussion. When he saw that Jesus had answered them well, he asked Jesus, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”
29Jesus answered, “The most important is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord, our God, the Lord is one. 30You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’[] 31The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’[] There is no other commandment greater than these.”
32The expert in the law said to him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken correctly on the basis of the truth that he is one, and there is no other besides him.[] 33To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”[]
34When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.
