Mark Chapter 12 Verse 28And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave [his] wife [behind him], and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

And Jesus answering said unto them, ‹Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?›

‹For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.›

‹And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I› [am] ‹the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?›

‹He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.›

And Jesus answered him, ‹The first of all the commandments› [is], ‹Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:›

‹And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this› [is] ‹the first commandment.›

‹And the second› [is] ‹like,› [namely] ‹this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.›

And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love [his] neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, ‹Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.› And no man after that durst ask him [any question].

And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, ‹How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?›

‹For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.›

‹David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he› [then] ‹his son?› And the common people heard him gladly.

And he said unto them in his doctrine, ‹Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and› [love] ‹salutations in the marketplaces,›
