(NIV) 35 One of them, an
expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in
the Law?" 37 Jesus replied: "`Love the
Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
with all your mind.' {Deut. 6:5} 38 This is the first
and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like
it: `Love your neighbor as yourself.' {Lev. 19:18} 40
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two
commandments."
