bwe - Mark:12:28-34

bwe@Mark:12:28 @ One of the scribes heard them talking. He saw that Jesus gave them a good answer. Then he came and asked, Which law is the greatest law of all?

bwe@Mark:12:29 @ Jesus answered, The greatest one is, "Hear, O Israel. The Lord our God is one Lord.

bwe@Mark:12:30 @ Love the Lord your God with all your heart. Love him with all your soul. Love him with all your mind. And love him with all your strength."

bwe@Mark:12:31 @ The second law is this: "Love your neighbour as you love yourself." No law is greater than these laws.

bwe@Mark:12:32 @ Then the scribe answered Jesus, Teacher, what you say is right. There is one God. There are no other gods.

bwe@Mark:12:33 @ Love God with all your heart. Love him with all your understanding. Love him with all your strength. That is much better than to burn offerings and make sacrifices. Love your neighbour as you love yourself. That is better than any of these offerings and sacrifices.

bwe@Mark:12:34 @ Jesus saw that the scribe was wise. So he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. After that everyone feared to ask him any more questions.
