MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁸ Just then up came one of the Scribes who had heard them arguing, and realized that Jesus had answered them admirably. "What commandment," he asked, "is the first of all?" ²⁹ Jesus replied. "The first is. 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord; 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.'" ³¹ "The second is this, "Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. Other command greater than these there is none." ³² "Admirably said, O Teacher," exclaimed the Scribe. "You have truthfully said that He is one, ³³ and that beside him there is none other, and to love him with all one's heart and with all one's understanding and with all one's might, and to love one's neighbor as oneself is far beyond all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices." ³⁴ Jesus saw that he had answered with discrimination, and said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." After that no one ventured to question him.
