“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”

Matthew 22:36 · BSB

Matthew 22:36 in context

The verses around it, from Matthew 22.

32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

34 And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.

35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:

36 “Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”

37 Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

38 This is the first and greatest commandment.

39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
