Mark 12:28-33

The Great Commandment

28 aAnd one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” 29Jesus answered, “The most important is, bHear, O Israel: The Lord our God, cthe Lord is one. 30And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 dThe second is this: e‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment fgreater than these.” 32And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that ghe is one, and hthere is no other besides him. 33And to love him with all the heart and with all ithe understanding and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, jis much more than all kwhole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
