26And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?Select Mark 12:26
27He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.Select Mark 12:27
28And 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?Select Mark 12:28
29And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:Select Mark 12:29
30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.Select Mark 12:30
31And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.Select Mark 12:31
32And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:Select Mark 12:32
33And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.Select Mark 12:33
34And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.Select Mark 12:34
35And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?Select Mark 12:35
36For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.Select Mark 12:36
