34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 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.' 1 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 2 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
