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 correctly; do this and you shall 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 was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and encountered bandits, who after having stripped him of his clothing and having wounded him, departed, leaving [him] half dead.
31 Now by coincidence a certain priest was coming down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.
32 Likewise a Levite, arriving at the place, came and saw, and passed by on the opposite side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came by him; and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
34 And coming to him, he bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and putting him on his own animal, he brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave [them] to the innkeeper, and said to him, 'Take care of him; and whatever you spend in addition, when I come back, I will repay you.'
36 So which of these three does it seem to you proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the bandits?"
37 And he said, "the [one] who showed mercy to him."Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
