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 And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?

26 And he said unto him, In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?

27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.

28 And he said to him, Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.

29 And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

30 and Jesus having taken up [the word], said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving [him] half dead.

31 And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;

32 and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,

34 and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;

35 and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to thee.

36 Who, then, of these three, seemeth to thee to have become neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?

37 and he said, He who did the kindness with him, then Jesus said to him, Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.
