Scriptural Snippets.

Yesterday's Gospel reading was from the Twelth Chapter of The Gospel of St. Mark:

12:28. And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all.
Et accessit unus de scribis qui audierat illos conquirentes et videns quoniam bene illis responderit interrogavit eum quod esset primum omnium mandatum

12:29. And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God.
Iesus autem respondit ei quia primum omnium mandatum est audi Israhel Dominus Deus noster Deus unus est

12:30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.
Et diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo et ex tota anima tua et ex tota mente tua et ex tota virtute tua hoc est primum mandatum

12:31. And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
Secundum autem simile illi diliges proximum tuum tamquam te ipsum maius horum aliud mandatum non est

12:32. And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth that there is one God and there is no other besides him.
Et ait illi scriba bene magister in veritate dixisti quia unus est et non est alius praeter eum

12:33. And that he should be loved with the whole heart and with the whole understanding and with the whole soul and with the whole strength. And to love one's neighbour as one's self is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices.
Et ut diligatur ex toto corde et ex toto intellectu et ex tota anima et ex tota fortitudine et diligere proximum tamquam se ipsum maius est omnibus holocaustomatibus et sacrificiis

12:34. And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
Iesus autem videns quod sapienter respondisset dixit illi non es longe a regno Dei et nemo iam audebat eum interrogare

This, kiddies is the source of Fyodor’s Rule # 1(a): The Lord thy God is one God. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind and with thy whole strength as well as Fyodor’s Rule # 1(b): Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
