Mark 12:28-34

281One of the scribes came up and heard them arguing, and 2recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, “What commandment is the 3foremost of all?” 29Jesus answered, “The 4foremost is, ‘5Hear, Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one; 306and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31The second is this: ‘7You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” 32And the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher; You have truly stated that 8He is One, and there is no other besides Him; 339and to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, 10is much more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34When Jesus saw that he had answered intelligently, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” 11And then, no one dared any longer to question Him.
