Mark 12:34 in Context — Mark 12

32 Le scribe lui dit: Bien, maître; tu as dit avec vérité que Dieu est unique, et qu’il n’y en a point d’autre que lui,

33 et que l’aimer de tout son cœur, de toute sa pensée, de toute son âme et de toute sa force, et aimer son prochain comme soi-même, c’est plus que tous les holocaustes et tous les sacrifices.

34 Jésus, voyant qu’il avait répondu avec intelligence, lui dit: Tu n’es pas loin du royaume de Dieu. Et personne n’osa plus lui proposer des questions.

35 Jésus, continuant à enseigner dans le temple, dit: Comment les scribes disent-ils que le Christ est fils de David?
