25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 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. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30 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. 31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34 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. 35 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. 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

25 En daar het 'n sekere wetgeleerde opgestaan wat Hom versoek het deur te sê: Meester, wat moet ek doen om die ewige lewe te beërwe?

26 En Hy antwoord hom: Wat is in die wet geskrywe? Hoe lees jy?

27 En hy antwoord en sê: Jy moet die Here jou God liefhê uit jou hele hart en uit jou hele siel en uit jou hele krag en uit jou hele verstand; en jou naaste soos jouself.

28 Toe sê Hy vir hom: Jy het reg geantwoord; doen dit, en jy sal lewe.

29 Maar hy wou homself regverdig, en sê vir Jesus: En wie is my naaste?

30 En Jesus antwoord en sê: 'n Sekere man het afgegaan van Jerusalem na J,rigo en onder rowers verval, en nadat hulle hom uitgetrek en geslaan het, gaan hulle weg en laat hom half dood lê.

31 En bygeval het 'n priester met daardie pad afgekom, en toe hy hom sien, gaan hy anderkant verby.

32 En net so het ook 'n Leviet by die plek gekom en hom gesien en anderkant verbygegaan.

33 Maar 'n sekere Samaritaan wat op reis was, het op hom afgekom; en toe hy hom sien, het hy innig jammer gevoel,

34 en na hom gegaan, sy wonde verbind en olie en wyn daarop gegooi. Hy het hom toe op sy eie pakdier gehelp en hom na 'n herberg geneem en vir hom gesorg.

35 En toe hy die volgende môre weggaan, haal hy twee pennings uit en gee dit aan die eienaar van die herberg en sê vir hom: Sorg vir hom, en enige onkoste wat jy nog meer mag hê, sal ek jou betaal as ek terugkom.

36 Wie dan van hierdie drie, dink jy, was die naaste van hom wat onder die rowers verval het?

37 En hy antwoord: Hy wat barmhartigheid aan hom bewys het. Toe sê Jesus vir hom: Gaan en doen jy net so.
