Now, "Master," said a Pharisee,
Thus tempting Him again:
"Which commandment is the greatest
That the law doth contain?"

Jesus said: "Thou shalt love the Lord
Thy God with all thy heart,
And all thy soul and all thy mind-
This is the first great part.

"And the second is like to it:
Thou shalt thy neighbor love
In the same way thou lov'st thyself;
By deeds this new law prove.

"Upon these two commandments-
Within the spirit wrought-
Hang all the law that Moses wrote,
And all the prophets taught."
