281And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?"
29
Jesus answered, "The most important is, 2'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, 3the Lord is one.
30
And 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
4The second is this: 5'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment 6greater than these."
32
And the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that 7he is one, and 8there is no other besides him.
33
And to love him with all the heart and with all 9the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, 10is much more than all 11whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
