Matthew:22:34-40

*
As soon as the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees ,
they gathered themselves together ,
*
and one of them ,
a lawyer ,
tested him by asking a question .
* "
Master ,
which is the great commandment in the law ?"
*
Jesus answered , "
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart ,
and with all thy soul ,
and with all thy mind .
* "
This is the great and first commandment .
* "
The second ,
which is like it ,
is this , "
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself .
* "
On those two commandments hang the whole law and the prophets ."
