Mark 12:28-34

Mark 12:28-34 CSB

One  of the scribes  approached. When he heard them debating and saw that Jesus answered them well, he asked him, “Which command is the most important of all? ” Jesus answered, “The most important   is Listen, Israel! The Lord   our God, the Lord   is one.   Love   the Lord your God   with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind,   and with all your strength.   , , The second is, Love your neighbor   as yourself.   , There is no other command   greater than these.” Then the scribe said to him, “You are right, teacher. You have correctly said that he is one, and there is no one  else except him.  And to love  him with all your heart, with all your understanding,  and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself, is far more important than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.”  When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”   And no one dared  to question him any longer.
