Matthew 22:36-40

Easy-to-Read Version

³⁶ He said, “Teacher, which command in the law is the most important?”

³⁷ Jesus answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’^{[a] 38} This is the first and most important command. ³⁹ And the second command is like the first: ‘Love your neighbor^[b] the same as you love yourself.’^{[c] 40} All of the law and the writings of the prophets take their meaning from these two commands.”
