Matthew 22:34-40
New King James Version
The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?(A)
34 (B)But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, (C)a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, (D)“‘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: (E)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 (F)On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Reina-Valera Antigua
34 Entonces los Fariseos, oyendo que había cerrado la boca á los Saduceos, se juntaron á una.
35 Y preguntó uno de ellos, intérprete de la ley, tentándole y diciendo:
36 Maestro, ¿cuál es el mandamiento grande en la ley?
37 Y Jesús le dijo: Amarás al Señor tu Dios de todo tu corazón, y de toda tu alma, y de toda tu mente.
38 Este es el primero y el grande mandamiento.
39 Y el segundo es semejante á éste: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.
40 De estos dos mandamientos depende toda la ley y los profetas.
