Before this Jesus said the most important commandment is 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

Then He said in Matthew 22:39 'The second most important commandment is like it: Love your neighbour as you love yourself.'

First a person must love God. God is the creator and sustainer of all life. Then a person should love their neighbour as much as they love them self.

Think of how much we do love ourselves, of how much of our activity centers around the care and comfort of self. Jesus is saying we should have this much love for our neighbour. Our neighbour is not just the person who lives next door but all people we know/come in contact with.

Such behavior is not natural; it is supernatural. Only those who have been born again can do it, and then only by allowing Christ to do it through them.

What does Matthew chapter 15 verse 26 mean?

In the passage Matthew 15:22-28, Jesus was being racist. When the woman, a Gentile, sought his help, he answered (15:24) that he was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. She came and worshipped him, but still he said in verse 26, "It is not meet to take the children's bread and to cast it to the dogs[Gentiles]". In the most insulting way, he was saying that the sustenance he had to offer was not for Gentiles.When she humbly accepted his description, he finally agreed to help and the gospel says that her daughter was cured that very hour.


In the Bible what is the ch 530 and ch 91 at end of Isaiah 8 verse 22 an abbreviation for?

It appears you are using a 'Reference or Study Bible' which has explanations on the bottom of each page that adds information about a verse noted. In your question, Isaiah chapter 8 verse 22 ends this chapter and chapter 9:1 or verse 1 begins. Concerning the ch 530 it refers to the word 'darkness' in Isaiah 8:22 and says to go to Isaiah 5:30 or verse 30 in chapter 5 to see the other usage of the imagery of darkness to indicate judgment - moral and spiritual blythe but also speaking of the Assyrian invasion which took away liberty and brought with it foreign oppression.
