* And behold , a lawyer stood up to put him to the test , saying , "Teacher , what shall I do to inherit eternal life ?" * He said to him , "What is written in the law ? How do you read ?" * And he answered , "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart , and with all your soul , and with all your strength , and with all your mind ; and your neighbor as yourself ." * And he said to him , "You have answered right ; do this , and you will live ." * But he , desiring to justify himself , said to Jesus , "And who is my neighbor ?" * Jesus replied , "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho , and he fell among robbers , who stripped him and beat him , and departed , leaving him half dead . * Now by chance a priest was going down that road ; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side . * So likewise a Levite , when he came to the place and saw him , passed by on the other side . * But a Samaritan , as he journeyed , came to where he was ; and when he saw him , he had compassion , * and went to him and bound up his wounds , pouring on oil and wine ; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn , and took care of him . * And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper , saying , `Take care of him ; and whatever more you spend , I will repay you when I come back .' * Which of these three , do you think , proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers ?" * He said , "The one who showed mercy on him ." And Jesus said to him , "Go and do likewise ."
