Mark 12:28-34 And one of the scribes coming, and hearing them questioning him, perceiving that he had answered them admirably, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁸ And one of the scribes coming, and hearing them questioning him, perceiving that he had answered them admirably, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? ²⁹ Then Jesus replied to him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel; the Lord thy God is one Lord: ³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment. ³¹ And the second, like it, is this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: there is no greater commandment than these. ³² And the scribe said unto him, Admirably, Master! thou hast spoken the very truth: for there is one God; and there is no other besides him: ³³ and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength; and to love his neighbour as himself, is better than all burnt offerings, and sacrifices. ³⁴ And Jesus perceiving that he had answered as a man of intelligence, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man thenceforth presumed to question him.
