Mark 12:32-34

Living Bible

³² The teacher of religion replied, “Sir, you have spoken a true word in saying that there is only one God and no other. ³³ And I know it is far more important to love him with all my heart and understanding and strength, and to love others as myself, than to offer all kinds of sacrifices on the altar of the Temple.”

³⁴ Realizing this man’s understanding, Jesus said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And after that, no one dared ask him any more questions.
