Jesus' Parable Of The Good Samaritan

Luke 10:25 - 37

And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so

that I may have eternal life? And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it? And he,

answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with

all your strength and with all your mind; and love your neighbour as for yourself. And he said; You

have given the right answer: do this and you will have life. But he, desiring to put himself in the right,

said to Jesus; And who is my neighbour? And Jesus, answering him, said; A certain man was going

down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and

gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead. And by chance a certain priest

was going down that way: and when he saw him, he went by on the other side. And in the same way,

a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side. But a certain man of

Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for

him, and came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his

beast and took him to an inn and took care of him. And the day after he took two pennies and gave

them to the owner of the inn and said; Take care of him, and if this money is not enough, when I

come again I will give you whatever more is needed. Which of these three men, in your opinion, was

neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves? And he said, The one who had mercy on

him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.
