KJV <Strong's # > - 12 ...ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068> your God <0430>.

NRSV - 12 "...you shall know that I am the LORD your God."'

TEV - "The Manna and the Quails" - 9 Moses said to Aaron, "Tell the whole community to come and stand before the LORD, because he has heard their complaints." 10 As Aaron spoke to the whole community, they turned toward the desert, and suddenly the dazzling light of the LORD appeared in a cloud. 11 The LORD said to Moses, 12 "I have heard the complaints of the Israelites. Tell them that at twilight they will have meat to eat, and in the morning they will have all the bread they want. Then they will know that I, the LORD, am their God."

KJV w/Strong's # - 8 ...Behold <2400>, the days <2250> come <2064>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>, when I will make <4931> a new <2537> covenant <1242> with the house <3624> of Israel <2474> and with the house <3624> of Judah <2455>: 9 Not according <2596> to the covenant <1242> that I made <4160> with their fathers <3962> in the day <2250> when I took <1949> them by the hand <5495> to lead <1806> them out of the land <1093> of Egypt <125>;...

10 For this <3778> [is] the covenant <1242> that I will make <1303> with the house <3624> of Israel <2474> after <3326> those <1565> days <2250>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>; I will put <1325> my laws <3551> into <1519> their mind <1271>, and write <1924> them in their hearts <2588>: and I will be to them a God <2316>, and they shall be to me a people <2992>: 11 And they shall not teach <1321> every <1538> man his neighbour <4139>, and every <1538> man his brother <80>, saying <3004>, Know <1097> the Lord <2962>: for all <3956> shall know <1492> me, from the least <3398> to the greatest <3173>. 12 For I will be merciful <2436> to their unrighteousness <93>, and their sins <266> and their iniquities <458> will I remember <3415> no <3364> more <2089>.

NRSV - 8 ..."The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; 9 not like the covenant that I made with their ancestors, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt;...

10 This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 11 And they shall not teach one another or say to each other, "Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more."

TEV - "Jesus Our High Priest" - 7 If there had been nothing wrong with the first covenant, there would have been no need for a second one. 8 But God finds fault with his people when he says, "The days are coming, says the Lord, when I will draw up a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. 9 It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors on the day I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt. They were not faithful to the covenant I made with them, and so I paid no attention to them. 10 Now, this is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel in the days to come, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 11 None of them will have to teach his fellow citizen or tell his fellow countryman, "Know the Lord.' For they will all know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 I will forgive their sins and will no longer remember their wrongs."

NRSV - 35 Do not, therefore, abandon that confidence of yours; it brings a great reward.

TEV - "Let Us Come Near to God" - 32 Remember how it was with you in the past. In those days, after God's light had shone on you, you suffered many things, yet were not defeated by the struggle. 33 You were at times publicly insulted and mistreated, and at other times you were ready to join those who were being treated in this way. 34 You shared the sufferings of prisoners, and when all your belongings were seized, you endured your loss gladly, because you knew that you still possessed something much better, which would last forever. 35 Do not lose your courage, then, because it brings with it a great reward.

Who can understand his ways? 34 As the scripture says, "Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who is able to give him advice? 35 Who has ever given him anything, so that he had to pay it back?" 36 For all things were created by him, and all things exist through him and for him. To God be the glory forever! Amen.

KJV w/Strong's # - 6 Wherefore <03651> say <0559> unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, I [am] the LORD <03068>, and I will bring <03318> you out from under <08478> the burdens <05450> of the Egyptians <04714>, and I will rid <05337> you out of their bondage <05656>, and I will redeem <01350> you with a stretched <05186> out arm <02220>, and with great <01419> judgments <08201>: 7 And I will take <03947> you to me for a people <05971>, and I will be to you a God <0430>:...

NRSV - 6 Say therefore to the Israelites, "I am the LORD, and I will free you from the burdens of the Egyptians and deliver you from slavery to them. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my people, and I will be your God...

8 I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; I will give it to you for a possession. I am the LORD."' 9 Moses told this to the Israelites; but they would not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and their cruel slavery.

TEV - "God Calls Moses" - 2 God spoke to Moses and said, "I am the LORD. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as Almighty God, but I did not make myself known to them by my holy name, the LORD. 4 I also made my covenant with them, promising to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they had lived as foreigners. 5 Now I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians have enslaved, and I have remembered my covenant. 6 So tell the Israelites that I say to them, "I am the LORD; I will rescue you and set you free from your slavery to the Egyptians. I will raise my mighty arm to bring terrible punishment upon them, and I will save you. 7 I will make you my own people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am the LORD your God when I set you free from slavery in Egypt. 8 I will bring you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as your own possession. I am the LORD." 9 Moses told this to the Israelites, but they would not listen to him, because their spirit had been broken by their cruel slavery.

TEV - "The Ten Commandments" - 1 Moses called together all the people of Israel and said to them, "People of Israel, listen to all the laws that I am giving you today. Learn them and be sure that you obey them. 2 At Mount Sinai the LORD our God made a covenant, 3 not only with our fathers, but with all of us who are living today. 4 There on the mountain the LORD spoke to you face-to-face from the fire. 5 I stood between you and the LORD at that time to tell you what he said, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. "The LORD said, 6 "I am the LORD your God, who rescued you from Egypt, where you were slaves. 7 "Worship no god but me.

KJV w/Strong's # - 4 Hear <08085>, O Israel <03478>: The LORD <03068> our God <0430> [is] one <0259> LORD <03068>: 5 And thou shalt love <0157> the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> with all <03605> thine heart <03824>, and with all <03605> thy soul <05315>, and with all <03605> thy might <03966>. 6 And these words <01697>, which <0834> I command <06680> thee this day <03117>, shall be in thine heart <03824>:

Repeat them when you are at home and when you are away, when you are resting and when you are working. 8 Tie them on your arms and wear them on your foreheads as a reminder. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.

KJV w/Strong's # - 1 In the year <08141> that king <04428> Uzziah <05818> died <04194> I saw <07200> also the Lord <0136> sitting <03427> upon a throne <03678>, high <07311> and lifted <05375> up, and his train <07757> filled <04390> the temple <01964>. 2 Above <04605> it stood <05975> the seraphims <08314>:

3 And one cried <07121> unto another <02088>, and said <0559>, Holy <06918>, holy <06918>, holy <06918>, [is] the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>: the whole <03605> earth <0776> [is] full <04393> of his glory <03519>.

5 Then said <0559> I, Woe <0188> [is] me! for I am undone <01820>; because <03588> I [am] a man <0376> of unclean <02931> lips <08193>, and I dwell <03427> in the midst <08432> of a people <05971> of unclean <02931> lips <08193>: for mine eyes <05869> have seen <07200> the King <04428>, the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. 6 Then flew <05774> one <0259> of the seraphims <08314> unto me, having a live <07531> coal <07531> in his hand <03027>, [which] he had taken <03947> with the tongs <04457> from off <05921> the altar <04196>: 7 And he laid <05060> [it] upon my mouth <06310>, and said <0559>, Lo <02009>, this <02088> hath touched <05060> thy lips <08193>; and thine iniquity <05771> is taken <05493> away <05493>, and thy sin <02403> purged <03722>. 8 Also I heard <08085> the voice <06963> of the Lord <0136>, saying <0559>, Whom shall I send <07971>, and who <04310> will go <03212> for us?

5 And I said: "Woe is me!

And I said, "Here am I; send me!"

TEV - "God Calls Isaiah to Be a Prophet" - 1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord. He was sitting on his throne, high and exalted, and his robe filled the whole Temple. 2 Around him flaming creatures were standing, each of which had six wings. Each creature covered its face with two wings, and its body with two, and used the other two for flying. 3 They were calling out to each other: "Holy, holy, holy! The LORD Almighty is holy! His glory fills the world." 4 The sound of their voices made the foundation of the Temple shake, and the Temple itself became filled with smoke. 5 I said, "There is no hope for me! I am doomed because every word that passes my lips is sinful, and I live among a people whose every word is sinful. And yet, with my own eyes I have seen the King, the LORD Almighty." 6 Then one of the creatures flew down to me, carrying a burning coal that he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. 7 He touched my lips with the burning coal and said, "This has touched your lips, and now your guilt is gone, and your sins are forgiven." 8 Then I heard the Lord say, "Whom shall I send? Who will be our messenger?" I answered, "I will go! Send me!"

KJV w/Strong's # - 13 ...he [is] in one <0259> [mind], and who <04310> can turn <07725> him? and [what] his soul <05315> desireth <0183>, even [that] he doeth <06213>. 14 For he performeth <07999> [the thing that is] appointed <02706> for me: and many <07227> such <02007> [things are] with him.

No one can oppose him or stop him from doing what he wants to do. 14 He will fulfill what he has planned for me; that plan is just one of the many he has; 15 I tremble with fear before him. 16...17 Almighty God has destroyed my courage. It is God, not the dark, that makes me afraid -- even though the darkness has made me blind.

I am the LORD. 17 "Do not bear a grudge against anyone, but settle your differences with him, so that you will not commit a sin because of him. 18 Do not take revenge on anyone or continue to hate him, but love your neighbor as you love yourself.

TEV - "Everlasting Peace" - 1 Here is the message which God gave to Isaiah son of Amoz about Judah and Jerusalem: 2 In days to come the mountain where the Temple stands will be the highest one of all, towering above all the hills. Many nations will come streaming to it, 3 and their people will say, "Let us go up the hill of the LORD, to the Temple of Israel's God. He will teach us what he wants us to do; we will walk in the paths he has chosen. For the LORD's teaching comes from Jerusalem; from Zion he speaks to his people." 4 He will settle disputes among great nations. They will hammer their swords into plows and their spears into pruning knives. Nations will never again go to war, never prepare for battle again. 5 Now, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light which the LORD gives us!

30 I and [my] Father <3962> are one <1520>. 31 Then <3767> the Jews <2453> took <941> up stones <3037> again <3825> to stone <3034> him. 32 Jesus <2424> answered <611> them, Many <4183> good <2570> works <2041> have I shewed <1166> you from my [the] Father <3962>;...

37 If <1487> I do <4160> not the works <2041> of my Father <3962>, believe <4100> me not. 38 But if <1487> I do <4160>, though <2579> ye believe not me, believe <4100> the works <2041>: that ye may know <1097>, and believe <4100>, that the Father <3962> [is] in me, and I in him [ the Father <3962>].

NRSV - 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly." 25 Jesus answered, "I have told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name testify to me;

30 The Father and I are one." 31 The Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus replied, "I have shown you many good works from the Father..."

37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."

TEV - "Jesus Is Rejected" - 22 It was winter, and the Festival of the Dedication of the Temple was being celebrated in Jerusalem. 23 Jesus was walking in Solomon's Porch in the Temple, 24 when the people gathered around him and asked, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? Tell us the plain truth: are you the Messiah?" 25 Jesus answered, "I have already told you, but you would not believe me. The deeds I do by my Father's authority speak on my behalf; 26 but you will not believe, for you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never die. No one can snatch them away from me. 29 What my Father has given me is greater than everything, and no one can snatch them away from the Father's care. 30 The Father and I are one." 31 Then the people again picked up stones to throw at him. 32 Jesus said to them, "I have done many good deeds in your presence which the Father gave me to do; for which one of these do you want to stone me?" 33 They answered, "We do not want to stone you because of any good deeds, but because of your blasphemy! You are only a man, but you are trying to make yourself God!" 34 Jesus answered, "It is written in your own Law that God said, "You are gods.' 35 We know that what the scripture says is true forever; and God called those people gods, the people to whom his message was given. 36 As for me, the Father chose me and sent me into the world. How, then, can you say that I blaspheme because I said that I am the Son of God? 37 Do not believe me, then, if I am not doing the things my Father wants me to do. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, you should at least believe my deeds, in order that you may know once and for all that the Father is in me and that I am in the Father." 39 Once more they tried to seize Jesus, but he slipped out of their hands.

KJV w/Strong's # - 16 And he withdrew <5298> himself into <1722> the wilderness <2048>, and prayed <4336>. 17 And it came <1096> to pass on <1722> a <3391> certain <3391> day <2250>, as he was teaching <1321>, that there were Pharisees <5330> and doctors <3547> of the law <3547> sitting <2521> by, which <3739> were come <2064> out of every <3956> town <2968> of Galilee <1056>, and Judaea <2449>, and Jerusalem <2419>: and the power <1411> of the Lord <2962> was [present] to heal <2390> them.

NRSV - 16 But he would withdraw to deserted places and pray. 17 One day, while he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting near by (they had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem); and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

TEV - "Jesus Heals a Paralyzed Man" - 15 But the news about Jesus spread all the more widely, and crowds of people came to hear him and be healed from their diseases. 16 But he would go away to lonely places, where he prayed. 17 One day when Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and teachers of the Law were sitting there who had come from every town in Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was present for Jesus to heal the sick. 18 Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a bed, and they tried to carry him into the house and put him in front of Jesus. 19 Because of the crowd, however, they could find no way to take him in. So they carried him up on the roof, made an opening in the tiles, and let him down on his bed into the middle of the group in front of Jesus. 20 When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the man, "Your sins are forgiven, my friend."

KJV w/Strong's # - 4 ...mine iniquities <05771> are gone <05674> over <05674> mine head <07218>: as an heavy <03515> burden <04853> they are too heavy <03513> for me.

7 For my loins <03689> are filled <04390> with a loathsome <07033> [disease]: and [there is] no <0369> soundness <04974> in my flesh <01320>.

17 For I [am] ready <03559> to halt <06761>, and my sorrow <04341> [is] continually <08548> before <05048> me.

NRSV - 4 ...my iniquities have gone over my head; they weigh like a burden too heavy for me.

7 For my loins are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.

17 For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.

TEV - "The Prayer of a Suffering Man" - 1 O LORD, don't punish me in your anger! 2 You have wounded me with your arrows; you have struck me down. 3 Because of your anger, I am in great pain; my whole body is diseased because of my sins. 4 I am drowning in the flood of my sins; they are a burden too heavy to bear. 5 Because I have been foolish, my sores stink and rot. 6 I am bent over, I am crushed; I mourn all day long. 7 I am burning with fever and I am near death. 8 I am worn out and utterly crushed; my heart is troubled, and I groan with pain.

15 But I trust in you, O LORD; and you, O Lord my God, will answer me. 16 Don't let my enemies gloat over my distress; don't let them boast about my downfall! 17 I am about to fall and am in constant pain. 18 I confess my sins; they fill me with anxiety. 19 My enemies are healthy and strong; there are many who hate me for no reason. 20 Those who pay back evil for good are against me because I try to do right. 21 Do not abandon me, O LORD; do not stay away, my God! 22 Help me now, O Lord my savior!

NRSV - 22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?...

TEV - "Jeremiah's Sorrow for His People" - 20 The people cry out, "The summer is gone, the harvest is over, but we have not been saved." 21 My heart has been crushed because my people are crushed; I mourn; I am completely dismayed. 22 Is there no medicine in Gilead? Are there no doctors there? Why, then, have my people not been healed?

KJV w/Strong's # - 13 [There is] none <0369> to plead <01777> thy cause <01779>, that thou mayest be bound <04205> up: thou hast no <0369> healing <08585> medicines <07499>.

15 Why <04100> criest <02199> thou for thine affliction <07667>?...

17 For I will restore <05927> health <0724> unto thee, and I will heal <07495> thee of thy wounds <04347>, saith the LORD <03068>;...

22 And ye shall be my people <05971>, and I will be your God <0430>.

NRSV - 13 There is no one to uphold your cause, no medicine for your wound, no healing for you.

15 Why do you cry out over your hurt?...

17 For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, says the LORD, because they have called you an outcast:...

22 And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

TEV - "The LORD's Promises to His People" - 11 I will come to you and save you. I will destroy all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not destroy you. I will not let you go unpunished; but when I punish you, I will be fair. I, the LORD, have spoken." 12 The LORD says to his people, "Your wounds are incurable, your injuries cannot be healed. 13 There is no one to take care of you, no remedy for your sores, no hope of healing for you. 14 All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer care about you. I have attacked you like an enemy; your punishment has been harsh because your sins are many and your wickedness is great. 15 Complain no more about your injuries; there is no cure for you. I punished you like this because your sins are many and your wickedness is great. 16 But now, all who devour you will be devoured, and all your enemies will be taken away as prisoners. All who oppress you will be oppressed, and all who plunder you will be plundered. 17 I will make you well again; I will heal your wounds, though your enemies say, "Zion is an outcast; no one cares about her.' I, the LORD, have spoken."

21...22 Their ruler will come from their own nation, their prince from their own people. He will approach me when I invite him, for who would dare come uninvited? They will be my people, and I will be their God. I, the LORD, have spoken."

KJV w/Strong's # - 6 For I will set <07760> mine eyes <05869> upon them for good <02896>, and I will bring <07725> them again <07725> to this <02063> land <0776>: and I will build <01129> them, and not pull <02040> [them] down; and I will plant <05193> them, and not pluck <05428> [them] up. 7 And I will give <05414> them an heart <03820> to know <03045> me, that I [am] the LORD <03068>: and they shall be my people <05971>, and I will be their God <0430>: for they shall return <07725> unto me with their whole <03605> heart <03820>.

NRSV - 6 I will set my eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up, and not tear them down; I will plant them, and not pluck them up. 7 I will give them a heart to know that I am the LORD; and they shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart.

TEV - "Two Baskets of Figs" - 4 So the LORD said to me, 5 "I, the LORD, the God of Israel, consider that the people who were taken away to Babylonia are like these good figs, and I will treat them with kindness. 6 I will watch over them and bring them back to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not pull them up. 7 I will give them the desire to know that I am the LORD. Then they will be my people, and I will be their God, because they will return to me with all their heart.

  • My 282:3

KJV w/Strong's # - 16 This <3778> [is] the covenant <1242> that I will make <1303> with them after <3326> those <1565> days <2250>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>, I will put <1325> my laws <3551> into <1909> their hearts <2588>, and in their minds <1271> will I write <1924> them; 17 And their sins <266> and iniquities <458> will I remember <3415> no <3361> more <2089>.

22 Let us draw <4334> near <4334> with a true <228> heart <2588> in full <4136> assurance <4136> of faith <4102>, having our hearts <2588> sprinkled <4472> from an evil <4190> conscience <4893>, and our bodies <4983> washed <3068> with pure <2513> water <5204>. 23 Let us hold <2722> fast <2722> the profession <3671> of [our] faith <1680> without <186> wavering <186>; (for he [is] faithful <4103> that promised <1861>;)

NRSV - 16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds," 17 he also adds, "I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more."

22 let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.

TEV - "Christ's Sacrifice Takes Away Sins" - 15 And the Holy Spirit also gives us his witness. First he says, 16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them in the days to come, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts and write them on their minds." 17 And then he says, "I will not remember their sins and evil deeds any longer." 18 So when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed.

"Let Us Come Near to God" - 19 We have, then, my brothers, complete freedom to go into the Most Holy Place by means of the death of Jesus. 20 He opened for us a new way, a living way, through the curtain -- that is, through his own body. 21 We have a great priest in charge of the house of God. 22 So let us come near to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith, with hearts that have been purified from a guilty conscience and with bodies washed with clean water. 23 Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise. 24 Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and to do good. 25 Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing. Instead, let us encourage one another all the more, since you see that the Day of the Lord is coming nearer.

KJV w/Strong's # - 9 ...as it is written <1125>, Eye <3788> hath not seen <1492>, nor <3756> ear <3775> heard <191>, neither <3756> have entered <305> into <1909> the heart <2588> of man <444>, the things which <3739> God <2316> hath prepared <2090> for them that love <25> him. 10 But God <2316> hath revealed <601> [them] unto us by his Spirit <4151>:...

16 For who <5101> hath known <1097> the mind <3563> of the Lord <2962>, that he may instruct <4822> him? But we have <2192> the mind <3563> of Christ <5547>.

NRSV - 9 ...as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him" -- 10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit;...

16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

TEV - "God's Wisdom" - 9 However, as the scripture says, "What no one ever saw or heard, what no one ever thought could happen, is the very thing God prepared for those who love him." 10 But it was to us that God made known his secret by means of his Spirit. The Spirit searches everything, even the hidden depths of God's purposes. 11 It is only a person's own spirit within him that knows all about him; in the same way, only God's Spirit knows all about God. 12 We have not received this world's spirit; instead, we have received the Spirit sent by God, so that we may know all that God has given us.

15 Whoever has the Spirit, however, is able to judge the value of everything, but no one is able to judge him. 16 As the scripture says, "Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who is able to give him advice?" We, however, have the mind of Christ.

KJV w/Strong's # - 29 ...The first <4413> of all <3956> the commandments <1785> [is], Hear <191>, O Israel <2474>; The Lord <2962> our God <2316> is one <1520> Lord <2962>: 30 And thou shalt love <25> the Lord <2962> thy God <2316> with all <3650> thy heart <2588>, and with all <3650> thy soul <5590>, and with all <3650> thy mind <1271>, and with all <3650> thy strength <2479>:...

NRSV - 29 Jesus answered, "The first is, "Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; 30 you 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.'

TEV - "The Great Commandment" - 28 A teacher of the Law was there who heard the discussion. He saw that Jesus had given the Sadducees a good answer, so he came to him with a question: "Which commandment is the most important of all?" 29 Jesus replied, "The most important one is this: "Listen, Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' 31 The second most important commandment is this: "Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' There is no other commandment more important than these two."
