Luke 10:25-34

²⁵Just then a Student of the Law came forward to test Jesus further. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?”

²⁶“What is said in the Law?” answered Jesus. “What do you read there?”

²⁷His reply was — “You must 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 you love yourself.”

²⁸“You have answered right,” said Jesus; “do that, and you will live.”

²⁹But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

³⁰To which Jesus replied, “A man was once going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him of everything, and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.

³¹As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.

³²A Levite, too, did the same; he came up to the spot, but, when he saw the man, passed by on the opposite side.

³³But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.

³⁴He went to him and bound up his wounds, dressing them with oil and wine, and then put him on his own mule, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
