- Mark simply has Jesus quote the Old Testament commandment to love your neighbours, which originally implied all other Jews but not gentiles.
Mark 12:31: "And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."
- Matthew repeats this commandment twice, but adds a new commandment to love your enemies.
The commandment to love your neighbours is in Matthew 19:19: "Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself," then Matthew 22:39: "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." The commandment to love your enemies is in Matthew 5:43-44: "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you."
Luke then omits the injunction to love your neighbours, but twice says to love your enemies.
Luke 6:27: "But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you," then Luke 6:35: "But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. "
- John's Gospel says nothing about either of these commandments, but puts forward a radically different commandment - to love other Christians so that other people will know who is a Christian. there is no thought of loving enemies or even neighbours.
John 13:34-35: "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." The commandment to love other Christians is repeated in John 15:12: "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you," and John 15:17: "These things I command you, that ye love one another."
