And one of the Scribes came, and hauing heard them reasoning together, and perceiuing that he had answered them well, asked him which is the first commandement of all.

And Iesus answered him, The first of al the commandements is, Heare, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord:

And thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy minde, and with all thy strength: This is the first commandement.

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe: there is none other commandement greater then these.

And the Scribe said vnto him, Well master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God, and there is none other but he.

And to loue him with all the heart, and with all the vnderstanding, and with all the soule, and with all the strength, and to loue his neighbour as himselfe, is more then all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And when Iesus saw that he answered discreetly, hee saide vnto him, Thou art not far from the kingdome of God. And no man after that durst aske him any question.
