Luke 10:29–37

²⁹But wishing ^ato justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

The Good Samaritan

³⁰Jesus replied and said, “A man was ^agoing down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and ¹beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.

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

³²“Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

³³“But a ^aSamaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,

³⁴and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

³⁵“On the next day he took out two ¹denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.’

³⁶“Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”

³⁷And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do ¹the same.”
