25 A man who taught Gods law stood up and asked Jesus a question to try him out. Teacher, he said. What must I do so that I will live for ever?

26 Jesus said to him, What does the law say? What do you read there?

27 The man answered, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart. Love him with all your soul. Love him with all your power, and love him with all your mind. And you must love your neighbour as you love yourself.

28 Jesus said, That is the right answer. Do that and you will live for ever.
