Mark 12:30: Love God With All Your Heart and Your Neighbor as Yourself

Mark 12:30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart & with all your soul & with all your mind & with all your strength. The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these. Luke 10:29-37 He, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “& who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, & he fell among robbers, who stripped him & beat him & departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road, & when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place & saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, & when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him & bound up his wounds, pouring on oil & wine. Then he set him on his own animal & brought him to an inn & took care of him. & the next day he took out two denariic & gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” & Jesus said to him, “You go, & do likewise.” — Real Love!
