Moses said in Deuteronomy 6:

5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
Jesus said in Luke 10:

27 He answered, “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind
Did Jesus add to Moses?

Ellicott explained:

the Hebrew word for heart clearly includes the concepts of both thought and affection. The Greek word for heart, however, is not necessarily so obviously includes the idea of thought or mind.
Did Jesus add the word "mind" to Moses?

No, not in the semantic sense. Jesus brought out the meanings in the original Hebrew. In any case, the idea is that we should love God with all of our being.
