When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a scholar of the law tested him by asking, "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"
He said to him, "You shall lovethe Lord, your God, with all your heart, with allyour soul, and with allyour mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall loveyour neighboras yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
