25 And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, 'Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?'
26 And he said unto him, 'In the law what has been written? how do you read?'
27 And he answering said, 'You shall love the Lord your God out of all your heart, and out of all your soul, and out of all your strength, and out of all your understanding, and your neighbour as yourself.'
28 And he said to him, 'Rightly you did answer; this do, and you shall live.'
29 And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto Jesus, 'And who is my neighbour?'
30 and Jesus having taken up the word, said, 'A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leavinghim half dead.
31 'And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;
32 and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.
33 'But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,
34 and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;
35 and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever you may spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to you.
36 'Who, then, of these three, seems to you to have become neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?'
37 and he said, 'He who did the kindness with him,' then Jesus said to him, 'Be going on, and you be doing in like manner.'
