30 Jesus said: »A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him of his clothing, beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.

32 So likewise, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion.

34 He went to him and bandaged 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.

35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.

36 Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?«

37 He said, »The one who showed mercy on him.« And Jesus said to him, »Go and do likewise.«
