於是大大地爭吵起來；有幾個法利賽派的文士站起來爭辯說：「我們看不出這人有甚麼錯處；說不定有鬼魂或者天使對他說過話呢！」

有一個文士來，聽見他們的辯論，知道耶穌回答得好，就問他說：「誡命中哪一條是第一呢？」耶穌回答：「第一是：『以色列啊，你要聽，主－我們的神是獨一的主。你要盡心、盡性、盡意、盡力愛主－你的神。』第二是：『要愛鄰如己。』再沒有比這兩條誡命更大的了。」那文士對耶穌說：「好，老師，你說得對，神是一位，除了他以外，再沒有別的了；並且盡心、盡智、盡力愛他，又愛鄰如己，要比一切燔祭和祭祀好得多。」耶穌見他回答得有智慧，就對他說：「你離神的國不遠了。」從此以後，沒有人敢再問他甚麼。

法利賽人聽見耶穌堵住了撒都該人的口，他們就聚集在一起。其中有一個人是律法師，要試探耶穌，就問他：「老師，律法上的誡命哪一條是最大的呢？」耶穌對他說：「你要盡心、盡性、盡意愛主－你的神。這是最大的，且是第一條誡命。第二條也如此，就是要愛鄰如己。這兩條誡命是一切律法和先知書的總綱。」
