The Parable of the Good Samaritan
And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him,
saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
He said unto him, What is
written in the law? how readest thou?
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.
And he said unto him, Thou hast
answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
But he, willing to justify himself, said unto
Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
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.
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way:
and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And
likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and
looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a
certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was:
and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 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. 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. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was
neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said
Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
