Mark 12:29-34

New King James Version

²⁹ Jesus answered him, “The ^[a]first of all the commandments is: ^(A)‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. ³⁰ And you shall ^(B)love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ ^[b]This is the first commandment. ³¹ And the second, like it, is this: ^(C)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than ^(D)these.”

³² So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, ^(E)and there is no other but He. ³³ And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, ^[c]with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, ^(F)is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

³⁴ Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”

^(G)But after that no one dared question Him.
