NARRATOR: When the Pharisees heard Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, who put a question to him about resurrection from the dead, the Pharisees assembled together. One of them, a lawyer, in an attempt to trip Jesus up, asked:
LAWYER: Teacher, which commandment of the law is the greatest?
JESUS 1: “You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, with your whole soul, and with all your mind.” This is the greatest and first commandment.
JESUS 2: The second is like it. “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” On these two commandments rest the whole law and the prophets.
Matthew 22.34-40
