30 Em resposta, disse Jesus: "Um homem descia de Jerusalém para Jericó, quando caiu nas mãos de assaltantes. Estes lhe tiraram as roupas, espancaram-no e se foram, deixando-o quase morto.

31 Aconteceu estar descendo pela mesma estrada um sacerdote. Quando viu o homem, passou pelo outro lado.

32 E assim também um levita; quando chegou ao lugar e o viu, passou pelo outro lado.

33 Mas um samaritano, estando de viagem, chegou onde se encontrava o homem e, quando o viu, teve piedade dele.

34 Aproximou-se, enfaixou-lhe as feridas, derramando nelas vinho e óleo. Depois colocou-o sobre o seu próprio animal, levou-o para uma hospedaria e cuidou dele.

35 No dia seguinte, deu dois denários ao hospedeiro e disse-lhe: ‘Cuide dele. Quando voltar lhe pagarei todas as despesas que você tiver’.

36 "Qual destes três você acha que foi o próximo do homem que caiu nas mãos dos assaltantes? "

37 "Aquele que teve misericórdia dele", respondeu o perito na lei. Jesus lhe disse: "Vá e faça o mesmo".

30 In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.

31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.

32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.

34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.

35 The next day he took out two denarii "and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'

36 "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"

37 The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
