Mark 12:26-36

26 "But regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, ¹in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, '²I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, and the God of Jacob '?

27 "³He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken."

28 ⁴One of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and ⁵recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, "What commandment is the foremost of all?"

29 Jesus answered, "The foremost is, '⁶HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD;

30 ⁷AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.'

31 "The second is this, '⁸YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

32 The scribe said to Him, "Right, Teacher; You have truly * stated that ⁹HE IS ONE, AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE BESIDES HIM;

33 ¹⁰AND TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL THE HEART AND WITH ALL THE UNDERSTANDING AND WITH ALL THE STRENGTH, AND TO LOVE ONE'S NEIGHBOR AS HIMSELF, ¹¹is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."

34 When Jesus saw that he had answered intelligently, He said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." ¹²After that, no one would venture to ask Him any more questions.
