Deacon Allan tells us that the Jewish Law was actually composed of the 10 commandments, plus 613 total precepts. The Pharisees tried to trap Jesus, but he was too smart for them. Jesus’ answer reminds us that our response to God and to our neighbors needs to go beyond the 10 (or 613) commandments. But our response has to start with knowing, loving and serving our God and each other.
