  • The Great Commandment in Judaism is the name commonly given to a part of Leviticus 19:18 in the Hebrew Bible: The Great Commandment appears on a 1958 Israeli postage stamp in Hebrew and several other languages commemorating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In the Christian New Testament it was referenced by Jesus in Mark 12:28-34, Luke 10:25-28, Matthew 7:12, 19:19, 22:34-40 and by Paul of Tarsus in Romans 13:9 and Galatians 5:14: It is also commonly confused or associated with another similar commandment, Deuteronomy 6:5 ("... love the LORD thy God... "), for example in Matthew 22:36-38, though this commandment is more properly part of the Shema, the most important prayer in Judaism. The Didache, an Early Christian treatise, begins with a "way of life" that quotes the Shema ("love God"), the Great Commandment ("love your neighbor"), and the Golden Rule ("do not do to others what you would not do to yourself"). The following is a copy of the public domain article found in the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia
