Luke 10:25–30

THE PARABLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN

25 Thenj an expert in the lawk stood up to testl him, saying, “Teacher,m what must I do to inherit eternal life?”n

26 “What is written in the law?” he asked him. “How do you read it?”

27 He answered, “Love the Lord your Godo with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,”p and “your neighbor as yourself.”D,q

28 “You’ve answered correctly,” he told him. “Do this and you will live.”r

29 But wanting to justify himself,s he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”t

30 Jesus took up the question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him up, and fled, leaving him half dead.
