(113) The Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25-37
[25]Suddenly, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
[26]“What is written in the law?” Jesus said to him. “How do you read it?”
[27]And he answered, saying, “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.”[1]
[28]“You have given the right answer,” Jesus said. “Do this, and you shall live.”
[29]But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
[30]And Jesus answered, saying, “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell into the hands of thieves. They 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 came to that place and saw him, passed by on the other side. [33]But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion on him. [34]He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. [35]The next day, when he was about to leave, he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever you spend over this, I will repay you when I come again.’
[36]“Now which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell among the thieves?”
[37]And the lawyer said, “He who showed mercy on Him.”
Then Jesus said to him, “You go and do likewise.”
(113) The Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25-37, KJV
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.
