The Greatest Commandment
But the Pharisees, when they
heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
One of them, a lawyer,
asked him a question, testing him. "Teacher, which is the
greatest commandment in the law?"
Jesus said to him,
"'You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great
commandment. A second
likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' The whole law and the prophets
depend on these two commandments."
Matthew 22:34-40
