于是大大地喧嚷起来。有几个法利赛党的文士站起来争辩说：“我们看不出这人有什么恶处，倘若有鬼魂或是天使对他说过话，怎么样呢？”

有一个文士来，听见他们辩论，晓得耶稣回答的好，就问他说：“诫命中哪是第一要紧的呢？”耶稣回答说：“第一要紧的，就是说：‘以色列啊，你要听，主我们神是独一的主。你要尽心、尽性、尽意、尽力爱主你的神。’其次就是说：‘要爱人如己。’再没有比这两条诫命更大的了。”那文士对耶稣说：“夫子说，神是一位，实在不错；除了他以外，再没有别的神；并且尽心、尽智、尽力爱他，又爱人如己，就比一切燔祭和各样祭祀好的多。”耶稣见他回答的有智慧，就对他说：“你离神的国不远了。”从此以后，没有人敢再问他什么。

法利赛人听见耶稣堵住了撒都该人的口，他们就聚集。内中有一个人是律法师，要试探耶稣，就问他说：“夫子，律法上的诫命，哪一条是最大的呢？”耶稣对他说：“你要尽心、尽性、尽意，爱主你的神。这是诫命中的第一，且是最大的。其次也相仿，就是要爱人如己。这两条诫命是律法和先知一切道理的总纲。”
