Mark 12:31-34
31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There
is no other commandment greater than these.” 32 And the scribe
said to him, “You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that he is one,
and there is no other besides him. 33 And to love him with all the
heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to
love one’s neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt
offerings and sacrifices.” 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered
wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And
after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.
