Covenant Joel
Puritan Board Sophomore
I heard in a class that I took that poios in "Which commandment is the greatest," should be translated "which kind of" and that there were two groups in Judaism, one that pushed the ritual aspects of the law, and another that pushed the ethical aspects. So the question was not so much which specific commandment, but which kind, ritual or ethical. Jesus responds by saying that it is neither one, but relational is the greatest.
