The First Two Precepts

| 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 |

12:28 And coming before, one of the scribes, hearing of them seeking together ...
  perceiving that he answered them ideally ...
  he asked him ... Which precept is first of all?
12:29 Jesus answered that the first is ... Be hearing Israel!
  The Lord our God is one Lord.
12:30 And you shall be loving the Lord our God out of your whole heart ...
  and out of your whole soul ...
  and out through your whole mind ...
  and out of your whole strength.
12:31 Second to it ...
  you should be loving your neighbor ...
  as yourself ...
  There is not another precept greater than these.
12:32 And the scribe said to him ... Ideal!
  Teacher! ... on "truth"you said that ... He is one ...
  and there is not another more than him.
12:33 And to be loving him out of the whole heart ...
  and out of the whole understanding ...
  and out of the whole strength ...
  and to be loving the neighbor as himself ...
  is more excessive than all the whole burns and sacrifices.
12:34 And Jesus perceiving him, that he answered having mind ...
  he said to him ... You are not far from the Kingdom of God ...
  and nobody, not still, dared to inquire of him.
