Luke 10:23-37
“10:23. And turning to his disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that
see the things which you see.
10:24. For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to
see the things that you see and have not seen them; and to hear the
things that you hear and have not heard them.
10:25. And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him and saying,
Master, what must I do to possess eternal life?
10:26. But he said to him: What is written in the law? How readest
thou?
10:27. He answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy
whole heart and with thy whole soul and with all thy strength”
“and with
all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself.
10:28. And he said to him: Thou hast answered right. This do: and thou
shalt live.
10:29. But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my
neighbour?
10:30. And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers, who also stripped him and
having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.
10:31. And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way:
and seeing him, passed by.
10:32. In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw
him, passed by.
10:33. But a certain Samaritan, being on his journey, came near him:
and seeing him, was moved with compassion:
10:34. And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and
wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn and
took care of him.
10:35. And the next day he took out two pence and gave to the host and
said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend”
“over and above,
I, at my return, will repay thee.
10:36. Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that
fell among the robbers?
10:37. But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him:
Go, and do thou in like manner.”
