Matthew: 22: 36 - 40 “Teacher, what is the greatest commandment of the law?” And Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your mind.

The second is like it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” On these two commandments depend the whole law and the Prophets. http://articles.nydailynews.com/2010-01-06/entertainment/179434
