menu_book Verse in Context

27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”

28 One of the scribes came and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”

29 Jesus answered, “The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

30 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.

31 The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
