Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(29) Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.--The quotation is given more fully by St. Mark than by St. Matthew. The opening words (from Deuteronomy 6:4) were in common use under the name of the Shema (the Hebrew for "Hear"), and formed the popular expression of the faith of Israel. To say the Shema was a passport into Paradise for any child of Abraham.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekJesusἸησοῦς (Iēsous)Noun - Nominative Masculine SingularStrong's 2424: Of Hebrew origin; Jesus, the name of our Lord and two other Israelites.replied,Ἀπεκρίθη (Apekrithē)Verb - Aorist Indicative Passive - 3rd Person SingularStrong's 611: From apo and krino; to conclude for oneself, i.e. to respond; by Hebraism to begin to speak.“This isἐστίν (estin)Verb - Present Indicative Active - 3rd Person SingularStrong's 1510: I am, exist.
