SCRIPTURE READING Matthew 22:36-40 The
Message (MSG)
L: When the Pharisees heard how he had bested
the Sadducees,
they gathered their
forces for an assault. One of their religion
scholars spoke for
them, posing a question they hoped would
show him up:
P: “Teacher, which command in God’s Law is the most
important?”
L: Jesus said,
All: “‘Love the Lord your God with all
your passion and
prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important,
the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it:
‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’
L: These two commands
are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the
Prophets hangs from
them.”
*HYMN “Love divine, all loves
excelling” no. 592

SCRIPTURE READING Mark 12:28-31 NRSV
28 One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the first of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; 30 you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
