³⁶ Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?

²⁸ And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all?

²⁹ Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one:

³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.

³¹ The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

³² And the scribe said unto him, Of a truth, Teacher, thou hast well said that he is one; and there is none other but he:

³³ and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is much more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

¹² I wrote for him the ten thousand things of my law; but they are counted as a strange thing.

⁴² But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

¹⁹ Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

²⁰ For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed `the righteousness' of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

⁶ he shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition.

²³ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone.

²⁴ Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel!
