Luke 10:25-37
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 An expert in the Law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “what
must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law?
What do you read there?” 27 He answered, “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.” 28 And he said to him, “You have given the
right answer; do this, and you will live.”
29 But wanting to vindicate himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my
neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho
and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and took off,
leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and
when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he
came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan
while traveling came upon him, and when he saw him he was moved with
compassion. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, treating them with oil
and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care
of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and
said, ‘Take care of him, and when I come back I will repay you whatever more you
spend.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell
into the hands of the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.”
Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
