Lucas 10

The Good Samaritan

30 Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he encountered robbers, and they stripped him and *10:30 Lit laid blows uponbeat him, and went away leaving him half dead.31 And by coincidence a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.32 Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.33 But a Samaritan who was on a journey came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,34 and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn and took care of him.35 On the next day he took out two *10:35 The denarius was a day’s wages for a laborerdenarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return, I will repay you.’36 Which of these three do you think *10:36 Lit has provedproved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?"37 And he said, "The one who showed compassion to him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do *10:37 Or likewisethe same."
