25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up testing him, and saying, Teacher, having done what, would I inherit eternal life?
26 And he said to him, What is written in the law? How read thou?
27 And having answered, he said, Thou shall love Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and from thy whole soul, and from thy whole strength, and from thy whole mind, and thy neighbor as thyself.
28 And he said to him, Thou answered correctly. Do this and thou will live.
29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor?
30 And having replied, Jesus said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. And he encountered bandits, who also, having stripped him and having beat him, departed having left him being half dead.
31 And by coincidence a certain priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise also a Levite who happened upon the place, having come, and having looked, passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to him, and when he saw him, felt compassion.
34 And having come, he wrapped up his wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine. And having set him on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when departing, after taking out two denarii, he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatever thou might spend more, I will repay thee at my return.
36 Which therefore, of these three, appears to thee to have become neighbor to the man who fell among the bandits?
37 And he said, He who did mercy with him. Therefore Jesus said to him, Go, and do thou likewise.
