# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Jesus quotes a verse from Leviticus as the second greatest commandment.
|
|
|
|
# a second commandment is like it
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings are 1) "there is another commandment that is next in importance" or 2) "there is a second commandment that is just as important." Either way, Jesus means these two commandments are more important than all other commandments.

|
|
# second commandment
|
|
|
|
(See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-ordinal]])
|
|
|
|
# like it
|
|
|
|
This means like the commandment in [Matthew 22:37](./37.md).
|
|
|
|
# your neighbor
|
|
|
|
Here "neighbor" means more than just those who live nearby. Jesus means a person must love all people.
|
|
|
|
# On these two commandments depend the whole law and the prophets
|
|
|
|
Here "whole law and the prophets" refer to all of scripture. AT: "Everything that Moses and the prophets wrote in the scriptures is based on these two commandments" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]]) |
