The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and
tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 He said to him, “What is written in the law?
What is your reading of it?” 27 So he answered and
said, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all
your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your
neighbor as yourself.’”28 And He said to him, “You
have answered rightly; do this and you will live.” 29
But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man
went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped
him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that
road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32
Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and
passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan,
as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion.
34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring
on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn,
and took care of him. 35 On the next day, when he
departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said
to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again,
I will repay you.’ 36 So which of these three do
you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?” 37
And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go
and do likewise.”
