  Jesus Christ : You have answered well. You are not far from the Kingdom of God, Joseph of Arimathea.

• Jesus Christ : What is the heart of the law?

  Joseph of Arimathea : "Hear, O Israel, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy strength." This is the greatest commandment.

  Jesus Christ : You have said well. You are not far from the Kingdom of God, Joseph of Arimathea. But there is another commandment, no less greater: you must love your neighbor as yourself.
