Mississippi May Mandate Ten Commandments and Pledges to State, U.S. Flags in Schools

5. Which version?

Which of the commands did Jesus consider the most important?
None of them and all of them! When asked what the greatest commandment was (Matt. 22:34-40; Mark 12:28-34), Jesus actually quoted the Shema, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind" (Deut. 6:5) and Lev. 19:18, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Although neither of these are in the Ten Commandments, they summarize their content. "Love God" is equivalent to the first four commandments, and "love your neighbor" is equivalent to the last six.

The Bible actually contains two complete sets of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17 and Deut. 5:6-21). In addition, Leviticus 19 contains a partial set of the Ten Commandments (see verses 3-4, 11-13, 15-16, 30, 32), and Exodus 34:10-26 is sometimes considered a ritual decalogue.

Then there are the different Bibles.
