Mark 12:29-34
New King James Version
29 Jesus answered him, “The [a]first of all the commandments is: (A)‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall (B)love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ [b]This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: (C)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than (D)these.”
32 So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, (E)and there is no other but He. 33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, [c]with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, (F)is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”
(G)But after that no one dared question Him.

New International Version
29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[b](A) 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[c](B) There is no commandment greater than these.”
32 “Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.(C) 33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”(D)
34 When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”(E) And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.(F)
