║ THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT ║
║ ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════╝
┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Matthew 22:34–40 (CSB) │
└──────────────────────────────────────────┘
34 When the Pharisees heard that he had
silenced the Sadducees, they came
together.
35 And one of them, an expert in the law,
asked a question to test him:
36 "Teacher, which command in the law is
the greatest?"
37 He said to him, "Love the Lord your God
with all your heart, with all your soul,
and with all your mind.
38 This is the greatest and most important
command.
39 The second is like it: Love your
neighbor as yourself.
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on
these two commands."
┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Mark 12:28–34 (CSB) │
└──────────────────────────────────────────┘
28 One of the scribes approached. When he
heard them debating and saw that Jesus
answered them well, he asked him, "Which
command is the most important of all?"
29 Jesus answered, "The most important is
Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, the
Lord is one.
30 Love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, with all your
mind, and with all your strength.
31 The second is, Love your neighbor as
yourself. There is no other command
greater than these."
32 Then the scribe said to him, "You are
right, teacher. You have correctly said
that he is one, and there is no one else
except him.
33 And to love him with all your heart,
with all your understanding, and with
all your strength, and to love your
neighbor as yourself, is far more
important tahn all the burnt offerings
and sacrifices."
34 When Jesus saw that he answered wisely,
he said to him, "You are not far from
the kingdom of God." And no one dared to
question him any longer.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Luke 10:25–37 (CSB) │
└──────────────────────────────────────────┘
25 Then an expert in the law stood up to
test him, saying, "Teacher, what must I
do to inherit eternal life?"
26 "What is written in the law?" he asked
him. "How do you read it?"
27 He answered, "Love the Lord your God
with all your heart, with all your soul,
with all your strength, and with all
your mind," and "your neighbor as
yourself."
28 "You’ve answered correctly," he told him.
"Do this and you will live."
29 But wanting to justify himself, he asked
Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
30 Jesus took up the question and said, "A
man was going down from Jerusalem to
Jericho and fell into the hands of
robbers. They stripped him, beat him up,
and fled, leaving him half dead.
31 A priest happened to be going down that
road. When he saw him, he passed by on
the other side.
32 In the same way, a Levite, when he
arrived at the place and saw him, passed
by on the other side.
33 But a Samaritan on his journey came up
to him, and when he saw the man, he had
compassion.
34 He went over to him and bandaged his
wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine.
Then he put him on his own animal,
brought him to an inn, and took care of
him.
35 The next day he took out two denarii,
gave them to the innkeeper, and said,
'Take care of him. When I come back I'll
reimburse you for whatever extra you
spend.'
36 "Which of these three do you think
proved to be a neighbor to the man who
fell into the hands of the robbers?"
37 "The one who showed mercy to him," he
said. Then Jesus told him, "Go and do
the same."
