LOVE THY NEIGHBOR MARK 12:28-34

THEN ONE OF THE SCRIBES CAME, AND HAVING HEARD THEM REASONING TOGETHER, PERCEIVING THAT HE HAD

ANSWERED THEM WELL, ASKED HIM, “WHICH IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT OF ALL?” JESUS ANSWERED HIM, “THE FIRST OF ALL THE COMMANDMENTS IS: ‘HEAR, O ISREAL, THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE.’ AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WILL ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.’ THIS IS THE FIRST

COMMANDMENT. “AND THE SECOND, LIKE IT, IS THIS: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ THERE IS NO OTHER COMMANDMENTS GREATER THAN

THESE.” NKJ
