The Ten Commandments are literally the word of God, straight from their mouth (hand?) and onto stone. Doesn't get much more important than that.
God gave us 10 commandments, Jesus gave us 1.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
We call it the Golden rule because if you can follow that one rule you're golden when it comes to your judgment at the end of time.
Blessed are the empathetic, for they shall accrue a debt that God will repay.
Jesus still said the ten commandments were crucial expressions of the commandment of doing to others as one one have done to themselves. The ten commandments had been brought up a few times in the new testament, either with Jesus being questioned as to why he wasn't following them (in response to which he'd elaborate why a commandment is important and why he's not dishonoring it) or with him expanding a commandment, such as at Matthew 5:28-29.
I always preferred the general commandment of "don't be a dick", and everything else is just kind of a given if you follow that.
