I wouldn't use John to support anything you say here... John is the most metaphorical of the gospels, and most definitely tailored quite substantially to match the jewish scriptures. If you're going to assume any of the books are 'true', which I'd not give you, stick to Matthew, who's the least 'tailored' from what I've seen.
You'll have to inform me first which parts of which Gospel are true, so that I can make sure not to quote any of the metaphysical parts.
Tell me, do you believe this to be true?
Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
