26 But concerning the dead, that they arise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, b‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?
28 aThen one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together,1 perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the2 first commandment of all?”
29 Jesus answered him, “The1 first of all the commandments is: a‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
30 And you shall alove the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’1 This is the first commandment.
31 And the second, like it, is this: a‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than bthese.”
32 So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, aand there is no other but He.
33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding,1 with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, ais more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
