SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:31
Y el segundo es semejante a l: Amars a tu prjimo como a ti mismo. No hay otro mandamiento mayor que stos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. And the second is like , etc..] Unto it, as in ( Matthew 22:39) and so it is read here in two ancient copies of Beza's, and in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions; [namely] this, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself . This commandment stands in ( Leviticus 19:18) and respects not an Israelite only, or one of the same religion with a man's self, or his intimate friend and acquaintance, or one that lives in the same neighbourhood; but any man whatever, to whom affection should be shown, and good should be done to him, and for him, as a man would have done to and for himself; as much as lies in his power, both in things temporal and spiritual; see the note on ( Matthew 22:39). There is none other commandment greater than these ; in the whole law, moral or ceremonial; not the sabbath, nor circumcision, nor the phylacteries, nor the fringes on the borders of the garments, nor any other.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 28-34 - Those who sincerely desire to be taught their duty, Christ will guid in judgment, and teach his way. He tells the scribe that the grea commandment, which indeed includes all, is, that of loving God with all our hearts. Wherever this is the ruling principle in the soul, there is a disposition to every other duty. Loving God with all our heart, wil engage us to every thing by which he will be pleased. The sacrifice only represented the atonements for men's transgressions of the mora law; they were of no power except as they expressed repentance an faith in the promised Saviour, and as they led to moral obedience. An because we have not thus loved God and man, but the very reverse therefore we are condemned sinners; we need repentance, and we nee mercy. Christ approved what the scribe said, and encouraged him. He stood fair for further advance; for this knowledge of the law leads to conviction of sin, to repentance, to discovery of our need of mercy and understanding the way of justification by Christ.
