On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
All Commentaries on Matthew 22:40 Go To Matthew 22
John Chrysostom
AD 407
He who now enquires for the greatest commandment had not observed the least. He only ought to seek for a higher righteousness who has fulfilled the lower.
But who loves man is as who loves God; for man is God’s image, wherein God is loved, as a King is honoured in his statue. For this cause this commandment is said to be like the first. It follows, “On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
