"And one of the Scribes came who had heard them disputing
together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him,
Which is the first of all the commandments? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, Oh, Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all
your soul, and with all your understanding, and with all your strength.
This is the first commandment. And the second is like,
namely this, You will love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other
commandment greater than these.
And the Scribe said to him, Well, Master, you have said the truth: for there is one God; and there is no other but he, And to love him with all the heart,and
with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the
strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all burnt
offerings and sacrifices.
And when Jesus saw that he
answered wisely, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of
God. And no man after that dared ask him any questions."
Mark 12:28-34 in the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels
