²⁸有一個經師聽見了他們辯論，覺得耶穌對他們回答的好，便上前來，問他說：「一切誡命中，那一條是第一條呢？」

²⁸And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all.

²⁹耶穌回答說：「第一條是：『以色列！你要聽！上主我們的天主是唯一的天主。

²⁹And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God.

³⁰你應當全心、全靈、全意、全力愛上主，你的天主。』

³⁰And thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.

³¹第二條是：『你應當愛近人如你自己。』再沒有別的誡命比這兩條更大的了。」

³¹And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

³²那經師對耶穌說：「不錯，師傅說的實在對：他是唯一的，除他以外，再沒有別的：

³²And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth, that there is one God, and there is no other besides him.

³³應以全心、全意、全力愛他，並愛近人如自己，遠超過一切全燔祭和犧牲。」

³³And that he should be loved with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength; and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices.

³⁴耶穌見他回答的明智，便對他說：「你離天主的國不遠了。」從此，沒有人敢再問他。

³⁴And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
