Luke 10 verses 25 – 37


The Parable of the Good Samaritan


25
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus, “Teacher,” he
asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”


26 “What is written in the Law?”
he replied. ”How do you read it?”


27 He answered, “Love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all
your mind; and love your neighbour as yourself.”


28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied, “do this and you will live.”


29
But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my
neighbour?”


30
In reply Jesus said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho
when he fell into the hands of 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 travelled, 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 silver coins 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 neighbour 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.”
