Context of Luke 10:27
25A teacher of God's Law stood up. He wanted to see how Jesus would answer his question. So he asked Jesus, ‘Teacher, what must I do so that I can live with God for ever?’ 26‘What does God's Law say?’ Jesus asked. ‘What do you understand when you read it?’ The man replied, ‘It says that we must love the Lord our God with all our mind and with all our strength. We must love him with all that we are and in all that we think. It also says that we must love other people as much as we love ourselves.’ 28‘You have told me the right answer,’ Jesus said. ‘If you do this, you will have true life with God.’ 29But the man wanted to show that he had been right to ask a question. So he asked, ‘Who are the people near to me that I must love?’
