Mark 12:29-34

29Jesus answered, “The most important is: ‘Listen, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

30Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’

31The second is: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

32The expert in the law said to him, “That is true, Teacher; you are right to say that he is one, and there is no one else besides him.

33And to love him with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your strength and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34When Jesus saw that he had answered thoughtfully, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” Then no one dared any longer to question him.
