At that time, a lawyer stood up to put Jesus to the test, saying,
"Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What
is written in the law? How do you read?" And 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." And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this,
and you will live."
But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my
neighbor?" Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho,
and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and
departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that
road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a
Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other
side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when
he saw him, he had compassion, and went to him and bound up his
wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and
brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the next day he took out
two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of
him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.'
Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell
among the robbers?" He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And
Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
