One of the teachers of religious law was standing there listening to the debate. He realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked,“ Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”

有一个文士来，听见他们辩论，晓得耶稣回答的好，就问他说：“诫命中哪是第一要紧的呢？”

One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him,“ Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”

One of the teachers of the law came and heard the Sadducees arguing. He noticed that Jesus had given the Sadducees a good answer. So he asked him,“ Which is the most important of all the commandments?”

And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him,“ Which commandment is the most important of all?”

One of the scribes approached. When he heard them debating and saw that Jesus answered them well, he asked him,“ Which command is the most important of all?”

One of the scribes came up and heard them arguing, and recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him,“ What commandment is the foremost of all?”

Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him,“ Which is the first commandment of all?”

And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all?

One of the scribes approached. When he heard them debating and saw that Jesus answered them well, he asked Him,“ Which command is the most important of all?”

And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

Now one of the experts in the law came and heard them debating. When he saw that Jesus answered them well, he asked him,“ Which commandment is the most important of all?”

One of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him,“ Which commandment is the greatest of all?”

But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees with his reply, they met together to question him again.One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question:“ Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?”Jesus replied,“‘ You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’This is the first and greatest commandment.A second is equally important:‘ Love your neighbor as yourself.’The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”

One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question:“ Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?”Jesus replied,“ What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?”The man answered,“‘ You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And,‘ Love your neighbor as yourself.’”“ Right!” Jesus told him.“ Do this and you will live!”

“ Well said, Teacher!” remarked some of the teachers of religious law who were standing there.

So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

“ Which ones?” the man asked. And Jesus replied:“‘ You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely.

“ What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law— justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.

“ What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore justice and the love of God. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.
