Luke 10
25 ¶ And,
behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him,
saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto
him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering
said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength,
and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto
him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt
live.
29 But he, willing
to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my
neighbour?
30 And Jesus
answering said, A certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which
stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and
departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance
there came down a certain priest that way: and when he
saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a
Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on
him, 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 on him,
34 And went to him,
and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set
him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took
care of him.
35 And on the
morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them
to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and
whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will
repay thee.
36 Which now of
these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that
fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He
that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go,
and do thou likewise.
