One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29 And Jesus answered him,The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
