important is, Hear, O Israel The Lord our God,
the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart and with all your

strength. 31 The second is this You shall love

them, saying, Do you want me to release for you
the King of the Jews? 10 For he perceived that
it was out of envy that the chief priests had
delivered him up.
