Mark 12:28-31 (NIV)
The Greatest Commandment
28One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29 “The most important one,”answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.(12:29 Or The Lord our God is one Lord) 30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’(12:30 Deut. 6:4,5) 31The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’(12:31 Lev. 19:18) There is no commandment greater than these.”
32“Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.

Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)
18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
