Matthew 5:17-20

Christ Came to Fulfill the Law

17 a“Do not think that I have come to abolish bthe Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but cto fulfill them. 18For truly, I say to you, duntil heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 eTherefore whoever relaxes fone of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least gin the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great hin the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds ithat of the scribes and Pharisees, you jwill never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 19:16-22

There is only one who is good. nIf you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, o“You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19Honor your father and mother, and, pYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20The young man said to him, qAll these I have kept. What do I still lack?” 21Jesus said to him, If you would be rperfect, go, ssell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have ttreasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 uWhen the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

The Great Commandment

28 aaAnd 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, abHear, O Israel: The Lord our God, acthe 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 adThe second is this: ae‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment afgreater than these.” 32And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that aghe is one, and ahthere is no other besides him. 33And to love him with all the heart and with all aithe understanding and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, ajis much more than all akwhole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” alAnd after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.
