Mattityahu 22:31-37 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

31. But concerning the Techiyas HaMesim, have you not read the thing spoken to you by Hashem, saying,

32. ANOCHI ELOHEI AVRAHAM ELOHEI YITZCHAK VEELOHEI YAAKOV (I am the G-d of Avraham, the G-d of Yitzchak, and the G-d of Yaakov, [SHEMOT 3:6])? Hashem is not the G-d of the Mesim (dead ones) but the G-d of the Chayyim (living).

33. And having heard this, the multitudes were amazed at Moshiach's torah (teaching).

34. But the Perushim, having heard that he silenced the Tzedukim, assembled together,

35. And one of them, a Baal Torah (learned Torah scholar, a Ben Torah), tried to trip up Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach with a she'elah (question):

36. Rabbi, which mitzvah is gedolah (great) in the Torah?

37. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave this teshuva (answer) to the Baal Torah, VAHAVTAH ES ADONOI ELOHECHA BCHOL LEVAVCHA UVCHOL NAFSHECHA UVCHOL MODECHA (And thou shalt love the L-rd thy G-d with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might [DEVARIM 6:5]).
