The Ten Commandments have been heavily influential throughout the entirety of the [[Bible]]. When the [[Pharisees]] gathered around Jesus, and a lawyer asked "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" (Matthew 22:36), Jesus spoke "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” | The Ten Commandments have been heavily influential throughout the entirety of the [[Bible]].
