Mark 12:32-34

Worldwide English (New Testament)

³² Then the scribe answered Jesus, `Teacher, what you say is right. There is one God. There are no other gods.

³³ Love God with all your heart. Love him with all your understanding. Love him with all your strength. That is much better than to burn offerings and make sacrifices. Love your neighbour as you love yourself. That is better than any of these offerings and sacrifices.'

³⁴ Jesus saw that the scribe was wise. So he said to him, `You are not far from the kingdom of God.' After that everyone feared to ask him any more questions.
