* Then one of the scribes came , and having heard them reasoning together , perceiving that He had answered them well , asked Him , "Which is the first commandment of all ?" * Jesus answered him , "The first of all the commandments is : "Hear , O Israel , the LORD our God , the LORD is one . * And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart , with all your soul , with all your mind , and with all your strength .' This is the first commandment . * And the second , like it , is this : "You shall love your neighbor as yourself .' There is no other commandment greater than these ." * So the scribe said to Him , "Well said , Teacher . You have spoken the truth , for there is one God , and there is no other but He . * And to love Him with all the heart , with all the understanding , with all the soul , and with all the strength , and to love one 's neighbor as oneself , is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices ." * Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely , He said to him , "You are not far from the kingdom of God ." But after that no one dared question Him .
