They did not ask. To which will she

the Jews held any such teaching. The

surrection Of the dead. and IL was
against this teaching that the Saddu-

You do not understand the Scripture

the angels. Thus the supposed great
and unanswerable question OF the Sad

Next. one OF the Doctors Of the Law
endeavored 10 entrap the Lord on a
question OF the relative importance

the Lord thy God with all thy heart.
and with all thy soul, and with all
thy mind This is the first and
great (chief) commandment And the
second is like unto it--'Thou shalt
love they neighbor as myself. On
these two commandments hang all
the Law and Prophets" What could
the Lawyer say to such summa i

left to say. He was answered as
