The first of all the commandments

Published: Oct. 27, 2021, 1:30 a.m.

The first of all the commandments: On arrival in Jerusalem, Jesus meets opposition. These passages are not in the Lectionary, but they lead to Jesus' encounter with a Scribe. Acting as a lawyer, he seeks the one commandment that covers all the commandments. Jesus' response comes from Israel's tradition, but it is a new commandment as the love of God and love of neighbour are combined. Finally, a Jewish leader accepts Jesus' teaching, and is not far from the Kingdom.
