\\nGospel MT 22:34-40
\\nWhen the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,
\\nthey gathered together, and one of them,
\\na scholar of the law tested him by asking,
\\n“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”
\\nHe said to him,
\\n“You shall love the Lord, your God,
\\nwith all your heart,
\\nwith all your soul,
\\nand with all your mind.
\\nThis is the greatest and the first commandment.
\\nThe second is like it:
\\nYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.
\\nThe whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
