Luke 10:25–28

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25 *A teacher of the Law came up and tried to trap Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to receive eternal life?”

26 *Jesus answered him, “What do the Scriptures say? How do you interpret them?”

27 *The man answered, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind’; and ‘Love your neighbour as you love yourself.’ ”

28 *“You are right,” Jesus replied; “do this and you will live.”
