25 And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?
26 And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?
27 And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.
28 And he said, You have given the right answer: do this and you will have life.
29 But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.
31 And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he went by on the other side.
32 And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side.
33 But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,
34 And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him.
35 And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.
36 Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves?
37 And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.
25 有一个律法师起来试探耶稣， 说： "老师， 我应该作什么， 才可以承受永生呢？"
26 耶稣对他说： "律法上写的是什么？你怎么念的呢？"
27 他回答： "你要全心、全性、全力、全意爱主你的 神， 并且要爱邻舍如同自己。"
28 耶稣说： "你答得对， 你这样行， 就必得生命。"
29 那人想证明自己有理， 就对耶稣说： "谁是我的邻舍呢？"
30 耶稣回答： "有一个人从耶路撒冷下耶利哥去， 落在强盗手中。他们剥去他的衣服， 把他打得半死， 撇下他一个人就走了。
31 正好有一个祭司， 从那条路下来， 看见他， 就从旁边走过去了。
32 又有一个利未人， 来到那里， 看见他， 也照样从旁边走过去了。
33 只有一个撒玛利亚人， 旅行来到他那里， 看见了， 就动了怜悯的心，
34 上前用油和酒倒在他的伤处， 包裹好了， 把他扶上自己的牲口， 带他到客店里照顾他。
35 第二天， 他拿出两个银币交给店主， 说： ‘请你照顾他， 额外的开支， 我回来的时候必还给你。’
36 你想， 这三个人， 谁是那个落在强盗手中的人的邻舍呢？"
37 他说： "是那怜悯他的。"耶稣说： "你去， 照样作吧。"
