Bible verse
This is the first and greatest commandment.
Matthew 22:38 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 22.
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.”
41 While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
42 “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
