One day, a teacher of the law came to Jesus. He asked Jesus a question. The teacher asked, “Which law is the greatest of all?”

Jesus Gives the Greatest Law

Mark 12:28-31; John 13:34

16 of 38

16

Jesus said, “The greatest law is this: Love God with all your heart. Love God with all your soul. Love him with all your mind. And love him with all your strength. This is the first law.

There is also a second law. You must love your neighbor as yourself. No other laws are greater than these.”

17 of 38

17

Jesus taught us some more about God’s laws. He said this to His disciples: “I am giving you another law: Love each other. You must love each other as I have loved you. All people will know that you are my disciples if you love each other.”
