Matthew 22:32-40 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living!” ³³When the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.

³⁴Now when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled together. ³⁵And one of them, an expert in religious law, asked him a question to test him: ³⁶“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” ³⁷Jesus said to him, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ ³⁸This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ⁴⁰All the law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
