Matthew 22:36-37

22:36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 22:37 Jesus said to him, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

tn Or possibly “What sort of commandment in the law is great?”

tn Grk “And he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

tn Grk “You will love.” The future indicative is used here with imperatival force (see ExSyn 452 and 569).

sn A quotation from Deut 6:5. The threefold reference to different parts of the person says, in effect, that one should love God with all one’s being.
