Gospel for Common of Holy Men and Women

Matthew 22:34-40

Summary: Jesus teaches that the greatest commandments are to love God fully and to love one’s neighbor as oneself. All other commandments depend on these two.

The Greatest Commandments

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a scholar of the law tested him by asking, “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”

He said to him, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment.

The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
