Matthew 22:31-38 English Standard Version (ESV)

31. And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God:

32. ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”

33. And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

34. But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

35. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him.

36. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”

37. And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

38. This is the great and first commandment.
