The Good Samaritan

²⁵ A certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying, Master, what must I do to possess eternal life? ²⁶ But he said to him: What is written in the law? how readest thou?

²⁷ He answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself. ²⁸ And he said to him: Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

²⁹ But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour? ³⁰ And 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.
