25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

26 He said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read it?

27 So he answered and said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.

28 And He said to him, You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.

29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor?

30 Then Jesus answered and said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 And likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, 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.

34 So he went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 And on the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come back, I will repay you.

36 So which of these three do you suppose was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?

37 And he said, He who showed mercy on him. Then Jesus said to him, Go and you do likewise.

25 E eis que se levantou um certo doutor da lei, tentando-o, e dizendo: Mestre, que farei para herdar a vida eterna? 26 E ele lhe disse: Que está escrito na lei? Como lês? 27 E, respondendo ele, disse: Amarás ao Senhor teu Deus de todo o teu coração, e de toda a tua alma, e de todas as tuas forças, e de todo o teu entendimento, e ao teu próximo como a ti mesmo. 28 E disse-lhe: Respondeste bem; faze isso, e viverás. 29 Ele, porém, querendo justificar-se a si mesmo, disse a Jesus: E quem é o meu próximo? 30 E, respondendo Jesus, disse: Descia um homem de Jerusalém para Jericó, e caiu nas mãos dos salteadores, os quais o despojaram, e, espancando-o, se retiraram, deixando-o meio morto. 31 E ocasionalmente descia pelo mesmo caminho certo sacerdote; e, vendo-o, passou de largo. 32 E d’igual modo também um levita, chegando àquele lugar, e vendo-o, passou de largo. 33 Mas um samaritano, que ia de viagem, chegou ao pé dele, e, vendo-o, moveu-se de íntima compaixão; 34 E, aproximando-se, atou-lhe as feridas, deitando-lhes azeite e vinho; e, pondo-o sobre a sua cavalgadura, levou-o para uma estalagem, e cuidou dele; 35 E, partindo ao outro dia, tirou dois dinheiros, e deu-os ao hospedeiro, e disse-lhe: Cuida dele; e tudo o que de mais gastares eu to pagarei quando voltar. 36 Qual, pois, destes três te parece que foi o próximo daquele que caiu nas mãos dos salteadores? 37 E ele disse: O que usou de misericórdia para com ele. Disse, pois, Jesus: Vai, e faze da mesma maneira.
