35 One Pharisee was an expert in the law of Moses. That Pharisee asked Jesus a question to test him.
36 The Pharisee asked, “Teacher, which command in the law is the most important?”
37 Jesus answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind.’
38 This is the first and most important command.
39 And the second command is like the first: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’
40 All the law and the writings of the prophets depend on these two commands.”
41 While the Pharisees were together, Jesus asked them a question.
