28. And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all.
29. And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God.
30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.
31. And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
32. And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth, that there is one God, and there is no other besides him.
