Gospel : Mk 12, 28b-34
The greatest commandment of all
12:28 One of the scribes who had listened to them debating and had observed how well Jesus had answered them, now came up and put a question to him, ‘Which is the first of all the commandments?’
12:29 Jesus replied, ‘This is the first: Listen, Israel, the Lord our God is the one Lord,
12:30 and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength.[*c]
12:31 The second is this: You must love your neighbour as yourself.[*d] There is no commandment greater than these.’
12:32 The scribe said to him, ‘Well spoken, Master; what you have said is true: that he is one and there is no other.
12:33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and strength, and to love your neighbour as yourself, this is far more important than any holocaust or sacrifice.’
12:34 Jesus, seeing how wisely he had spoken, said, ‘You are not far from the kingdom of God’. And after that no one dared to question him any more.
