Mark 12:28-31
Coming up to Jesus, a religious expert asked,
“What’s the most important commandment?”
Jesus said, “The first thing to hear and heed is this:
The Lord, our God
alone is God!
And you shall love the Lord your God
in body, mind, and spirit:
with all of your heart,
with all of your soul,
with all of your mind,
and with all of your strength and being.
The second thing to hear and heed is this:
Your shall love other people just as much
as you must love yourself.
No other commandments mean more than these.
