- 34 But the Pharisees, hearing that he had caused the Sadducees to be silent, came together as one.
- 35 And one of them, a doctor of the law, questioned him, to test him:
- 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
- 37 Jesus said to him: “‘You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
- 38 This is the greatest and first commandment.
- 39 But the second is similar to it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
- 40 On these two commandments the entire law depends, and also the prophets.”

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
