In context

34 But the Pharisees, hearing how the mouths of the Sadducees had been stopped, came together;

35 And one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, testing him, and saying,

36 Master, which is the chief rule in the law?

37 And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

38 This is the first and greatest rule.

39 And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

40 On these two rules all the law and the prophets are based.
