³⁷ Jesus said to him, ^(B)“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ ³⁸ This is the first and great commandment. ³⁹ And the second is like it: ^(C)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ^40 (D)On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

^37 [a]Then Philip said, ^(B)“If you believe with all your heart, you may.”

And he answered and said, ^(C)“I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
