The Primary Commands
34 When(A) 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:(B) 36 “Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest?”[a]
37 He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.(C)[b] 38 This is the greatest and most important[c] command. 39 The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.(D)[d] 40 All the Law and the Prophets depend[e] on these two commands.”(E)
