Jesus quotes a verse from Deuteronomy as the greatest commandment.
with all ... heart, with all ... soul
The idiom "with all ... heart" means "completely" and "with all ... soul" means "with all ... being." See how you translated these two phrases in Deuteronomy 4:29. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
with all your mind
The mind is what people use to think.
the great and first commandment
Here "great" and "first" mean the same thing. They emphasize that this is the most important commandment. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)
