THE SHEMA

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FUNDAMENTALIST VERSION

And one of the scholars aproached when he heard them arguing, and because he saw how spiritually Jesus answered them, he asked him, 'Of all the commandments, which is the most important?'

Jesus answered: "The first is 'Hear, Israel, the Lord your God is ME, and you are to love ME with all your heart and all your soul [and all your mind] and with all your energy.'

And the scholar said to him, "That's a fine answer, Lord my God. You have correctly said that YOU are the Lord my God and there is no other beside YOU. And 'to love YOU with all one's heart and with all one's mind and with all one's energy' and 'to love one's neighbor as oneself' is greater than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices put together."

And when Jesus saw that he answered him with the correct doctrine, he said to him, "You are not far from being a Trew Kristyun"

THE REAL VERSION

And one of the scholars aproached when he heard them arguing, and because he saw how skillfully Jesus answered them, he asked him, 'Of all the commandments, which is the most important?'

Jesus answered: "The first is 'Hear, Israel, the Lord your God is one Lord, and you are to love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul [and all your mind] and with all your energy.'

And the scholar said to him, "That's a fine answer, Teacher. You have correctly said that God is one and there is no other beside him. And 'to love him with all one's heart and with all one's mind and with all one's energy' and 'to love one's neighbor as oneself' is greater than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices put together."

And when Jesus saw that he answerwed him sensibly, he said to him, "You are not far from God's domain."
