One of the scribes came near and heard them
disputing with one another, and seeing that he
answered them well, he asked him, Which
commandment is the first of all? 29Jesus
answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel the
Lord our God, the Lord is one 30you shall love
the Lord your God with all your heart, and with
all your soul, and with all your mind, and with
all your strength. 31The second is this, You
shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is
no other commandment greater than these.
16
. 32Then the scribe said to him, You are right,
Teacher you have truly said that he is one, and
besides him there is no other 33and to love
him with all the heart, and with all the
understanding, and with all the strength, and
to love ones neighbor as oneself, this is much
more important than all whole burnt-offerings and
sacrifices. 34When Jesus saw that he answered
wisely, he said to him, You are not far from the
kingdom of God. After that no one dared to ask
him any question.

Uno de los maestros de la ley se acercó y los oyó
discutiendo. Al ver lo bien que Jesús les había
contestado, le preguntó    De todos los
mandamientos, cuál es el más importante? El
más importante es "Oye, Israel. El Señor nuestro
Dios es el único Señorcontestó Jesús. Ama al
Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu
alma, con toda tu mente y con todas tus fuerzas.
El segundo es "Ama a tu prójimo como a ti
mismo." No hay otro mandamiento más importante
que éstos.
18
Bien dicho, Maestro respondió el hombre. Tienes
razón al decir que Dios es uno solo y que no hay
otro fuera de él. Amarlo con todo el corazón, con
todo el entendimiento y con todas las fuerzas, y
amar al prójimo como a uno mismo, es más
importante que todos los holocaustos y
sacrificios. Al ver Jesús que había respondido
con inteligencia, le dijo No estás lejos del
reino de Dios.  Y desde entonces nadie se atrevió
a hacerle más preguntas.

• Beloved, let us love one another,
• for love is of God and everyone that loves is
  born of God
• and knows God.
• Whoever does not love does not know God, for God
  is love.
