Mark 12:23-33

23 In the resurrection, when they rise,^[a] whose wife will she be, since the seven had married her?"^[b]

24 Jesus told them, "Are you not deceived because you don't know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels in heaven.

26 Now concerning the dead being raised-haven't you read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him: I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob ? ^[c]

27 He is not God of the dead but of the living. You are badly deceived."

The Primary Commandments

28 One of the scribes approached. When he heard them debating and saw that Jesus answered them well, he asked Him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?"^[d]

29 "This is the most important," ^[e] Jesus answered: Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is One. ^[f]

30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. ^{[g] [h]}

31 "The second is: Love your neighbor as yourself. ^[i] There is no other commandment greater than these."

32 Then the scribe said to Him, "You are right, Teacher! You have correctly said that He is One, and there is no one else except Him.

33 And to love Him with all your heart, with all your understanding,^[j] and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself, is far more [important] than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices."
