Jesus replies with a story to a Jewish teacher who wants to test Jesus. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parables]])

This alerts us to a new event and a new person in the story. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-newevent]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-participants]])

Jesus is not seeking information. He uses these questions to test the Jewish teacher's knowledge. AT: "Tell me what Moses wrote in the law and what you think it means." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# What is written in the law?
This can be asked in active form. AT: "What did Moses write in the law?" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
# How do you read it?
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00
"What have you read in it?" or "What do you understand it to say?"
2017-06-21 20:50:04 +00:00
# You will love ... neighbor as yourself
The man is quoting what Moses wrote in the law.

# with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00

Here "heart" and "soul" are metonyms for a person's inner being. These four phrases are used together to mean "completely" or "earnestly." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])

# your neighbor as yourself
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00
2017-06-24 00:15:21 +00:00
This simile can be stated more clearly. AT: "love your neighbor as much as you love yourself" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
