- Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together.
- One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
- "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
- Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
- This is the first and greatest commandment.
|
- And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
- All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
- While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
- "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" "The son of David," they replied.
- He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'? For he says,
|
- " 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet." '
- If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?"
- No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.
