The Great Commandment: Matt. 22:34-40

The Pharisees were after Jesus. In this last stretch of the Gospel of Matthew, the Pharisees double their efforts to trap Jesus in his words. In response to a lawyer's question, Jesus gave what has come to be one of the most famous passages of Scripture, the great commandment. Here, we find all of what is required of us summed up in one command: to love God.
