And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, \u201cTeacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?\u201d He said to him, \u201cWhat is written in the law? How do you read?\u201dAnd he answered, \u201cYou shall 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 your neighbor as yourself.\u201dAnd he said to him, \u201cYou have answered right; do this, and you will live.\u201d<\/p>\n
But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, \u201cAnd who is my neighbor?\u201d Jesus replied, \u201cA man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.\u2019 Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?\u201d He said, \u201cThe one who showed mercy on him.\u201d And Jesus said to him, \u201cGo and do likewise.\u201d<\/p>\n
