25 *Mt 22.35-40;Mk 12.28-34A teacher of the Law came up and tried to trap Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to receive eternal life?"

26 Jesus answered him, "What do the Scriptures say? How do you interpret them?"

27 *Dt 6.5;Lv 19.18The man answered, "‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind’; and ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’"

28 *Lv 18.5"You are right," Jesus replied; "do this and you will live."
