THE GOOD SAMARITAN

 

Luke 10

29But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

   30And 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.

   31And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

   32And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

   33But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

   34And 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.

   35And 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.

   36Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

   37And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
