36. “Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in Moses’ Teachings?”
37. Jesus answered him, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38. This is the greatest and most important commandment.
39. The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’
40. All of Moses’ Teachings and the Prophets depend on these two commandments.”
41. While the Pharisees were still gathered, Jesus asked them,
42. “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”They answered him, “David’s.”
43. He said to them, “Then how can David, guided by the Spirit, call him Lord? David says,
44. ‘The Lord said to my Lord,“Take the highest position in heavenuntil I put your enemies under your control.” ’
45. If David calls him Lord, how can he be his son?”
46. No one could answer him, and from that time on no one dared to ask him another question.
