Which is the greatest commandment ?


This is the question asked of Jesus by the Pharisees after he had silenced the Sadducees. Before I give His answer, I'll bet that most of us couldn't really explain who these people were. The image that immediately springs to mind for me is of John Cleese in the film 'Life of Brian' ! And I probably shouldn't own up to seeing that yet alone enjoying it - it does, however, contain in choirboy's view one of the funniest scenes in any film. Back to the subject of these mysterious people who crop up regularly in the scriptures. They seem to provide Jesus with the perfect foil with which to illustrate the divine nature of his ministry. You can read more about the Pharisees here and the Sadducees here.
The answer - well that's here in Matthew's Gospel 22:34-40.
Entrance Hail Queen of Heaven
Kyrie Taize Kyrie
