The two commandments he is talking about are found here: Matthew 22:36-40 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

These are what Jesus is quoted as saying in the New Testament of the Bible.

Thanks for explaining that. We were taught in my catholic school the second one as the Golden Rule and the only commandment to follow because it encompasses all of them. The "Love the Lord..." one was barely brought up, if at all. Even catholics have many different versions of being taught. My west coast friends had a totally different experience.
