* And one of the scribes came , and having heard them reasoning together , and perceiving that he had answered them well , asked him , Which is the first commandment of all ? * And Jesus answered him , The first of all the commandments is , Hear , O Israel ; The Lord our God is one Lord : * And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart , and with all thy soul , and with all thy mind , and with all thy strength : this is the first commandment . * And the second is like , namely this , Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself . There is none other commandment greater than these . * And the scribe said unto him , Well , Master , thou hast said the truth : for there is one God ; and there is none other but he : * And to love him with all the heart , and with all the understanding , and with all the soul , and with all the strength , and to love his neighbour as himself , is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices . * And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly , he said unto him , Thou art not far from the kingdom of God . And no man after that durst ask him any question .
