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 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。"
