The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25:
And a lawyer stood up and put
Him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what
shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
26:
And He said to him, "What is written
in the Law? How does it read to you?"
27:
And he answered, " YOU SHALL LOVE
THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR
STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND
YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
28:
And He said to him, "You have answered
correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE."
29:
But wishing to justify himself, he
said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
30:
Jesus replied and said, "A man was
going down from Jerusalem to Jericho,
and fell among robbers, and they stripped
him and beat him, and went away leaving
him half dead.
31:
"And by chance a priest was going down
on that road, and when he saw him, he
passed by on the other side.
32:
"Likewise a Levite also, when he came
to the place and saw him, passed by on
the other side.
33:
"But a Samaritan, who was on a journey,
came upon him; and when he saw him, he
felt compassion,
34:
and came to him and bandaged up his wounds,
pouring oil and wine on them; and he put
him on his own beast, and brought him
to an inn and took care of him.
35:
"On the next day he took out two denarii
and gave them to the innkeeper and said,
'Take care of him; and whatever more you
spend, when I return I will repay you.'
36:
"Which of these three do you think proved
to be a neighbor to the man who fell into
the robbers' hands?"
37:
And he said, "The one who showed mercy
toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go
and do the same."
