MLV(i)
28 And one of the scribes came and heard them debating together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all?
29 But Jesus answered, The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one'; 30 and ‘You will love the Lord your God from all your heart and from your whole soul and from your whole mind and from your whole strength.’This is the first commandment. 31 And the second is similar, ‘You will love your neighbor like yourself.’There is no other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said to him, In truth, Teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is no other except him; 33 and to love him from the whole heart and from the whole intelligence and from the whole soul and from the whole strength and to love his neighbor like himself, is more-than all the whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered with perception, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no one was daring enough to ask him anymore.
