The Greatest Commandment

Matthew 22:34-40

But the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together.

And one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him:

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind.

This is the greatest and the first commandment.

And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.
