35. One Pharisee was an expert in the law of Moses. That Pharisee asked Jesus a question to test him.
36. The Pharisee asked, “Teacher, which command in the law is the most important?”
37. Jesus answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind.’
38. This is the first and most important command.
