Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁸ A scribe, who had heard them dispute, perceiving the justness of his reply, came to him, and proposed this question: Which is the chief commandment of all? ²⁹ Jesus answered, The chief of all the commandments is, "Hearken, Israel, the Lord is our God. The Lord is one:" ³⁰ and, "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." This is the first commandment. ³¹ The second resembles it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." There is no commandment greater than these.
