³⁰And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers, who also stripped him and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.

³¹And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by.

³²In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by.

³³But a certain Samaritan, being on his journey, came near him: and seeing him, was moved with compassion:

³⁴And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn and took care of him.

³⁵And the next day he took out two pence and gave to the host and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee.

³⁶Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?

³⁷But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.
