Mark 12:28-37

28And one of the scribes who had come up, and had heard them reasoning together, perceiving that he had answered them well, demanded of him, Which is [the] first commandment of all?

29And Jesus answered him, [The] first commandment of all [is], Hear, Israel: the Lord our 1God is one Lord;

30and thou shalt love the Lord thy 2God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding, and with all thy strength. This is [the] first commandment.

31And a second like it [is] this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is not another commandment greater than these.

32And the scribe said to him, Right, teacher; thou hast spoken according to [the] truth. For he is one, and there is none other besides him;

33and to love him with all the heart, and with all the intelligence, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is more than all the burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

34And Jesus, seeing that he had answered intelligently, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of 3God. And no one dared question him any more.

35And Jesus answering said [as he was] teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David?

36[for] David himself said [speaking] in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet.

37David himself [therefore] calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the mass of the people heard him gladly.
