30 Jésus reprit la parole, et dit: Un homme descendait de Jérusalem à Jéricho. Il tomba au milieu des brigands, qui le dépouillèrent, le chargèrent de coups, et s'en allèrent, le laissant à demi mort.

31 Un sacrificateur, qui par hasard descendait par le même chemin, ayant vu cet homme, passa outre.

32 Un Lévite, qui arriva aussi dans ce lieu, l'ayant vu, passa outre.

33 Mais un Samaritain, qui voyageait, étant venu là, fut ému de compassion lorsqu'il le vit.

34 Il s'approcha, et banda ses plaies, en y versant de l'huile et du vin; puis il le mit sur sa propre monture, le conduisit à une hôtellerie, et prit soin de lui.

35 Le lendemain, il tira deux deniers, les donna à l'hôte, et dit: Aie soin de lui, et ce que tu dépenseras de plus, je te le rendrai à mon retour.

36 Lequel de ces trois te semble avoir été le prochain de celui qui était tombé au milieu des brigands?

37 C'est celui qui a exercé la miséricorde envers lui, répondit le docteur de la loi. Et Jésus lui dit: Va, et toi, fais de même.

30 Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion, 34 came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’ 36 Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"

37 He said, "He who showed mercy on him."

Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
