Summary
He answered, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and your neighbor as yourself. And notice the depth here of what is saying with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your mind and your neighbor as yourself. That's why remember in Matthew 5th chapter, when Jesus says, you've heard that it was said, you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. When Jesus would have said a Samaritan had pity, that would have made the blood boil in that Jewish lawyer. So often when you look at the parable of the good Samaritan, so often the focus is on compassion, kindness, and for good reason, there are certainly aspects of that here. He says, well, you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, strength, love your neighbor is yourself.
