Matthew 22:31-41

31 But as to the Resurrection of the dead, have you never read what God says to you,

32 `I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead, but of living men."

33 All the crowd heard this, and were filled with amazement at His teaching.

34 Now the Pharisees came up when they heard that He had silenced the Sadducees,

35 and one of them, an expounder of the Law, asked Him as a test question,

36 "Teacher, which is the greatest Commandment in the Law?"

37 "`Thou shalt love the Lord thy God,'" He answered, "`with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind.'

38 This is the greatest and foremost Commandment.

39 And the second is similar to it: `Thou shalt love thy fellow man as much as thyself.'

40 The whole of the Law and the Prophets is summed up in these two Commandments."

41 While the Pharisees were still assembled there, Jesus put a question to them.
