* Then an expounder of the Law stood up to test Him with a question . »Rabbi ,« he asked , »what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages ?« * »Go to the Law ,« said Jesus ; »what is written there ? how does it read ?« * he replied , * »A right answer ,« said Jesus ; »do that , and you shall live .« * But he , desiring to justify himself , said , »But what is meant by my `fellow man '?« * Jesus replied , »A man was once on his way down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell among robbers , who after both stripping and beating him went away , leaving him half dead . * Now a priest happened to be going down that way , and on seeing him passed by on the other side . * In like manner a Levite also came to the place , and seeing him passed by on the other side . * But a certain Samaritan , being on a journey , came where he lay , and seeing him was moved with pity . * He went to him , and dressed his wounds with oil and wine and bound them up . Then placing him on his own mule he brought him to an inn , where he bestowed every care on him . * The next day he took out two shillings and gave them to the innkeeper . »`Take care of him ,' he said , `and whatever further expense you are put to , I will repay it you at my next visit .' * »Which of those three seems to you to have acted like a fellow man to him who fell among the robbers ?« * »The one who showed him pity ,« he replied . »Go ,« said Jesus , »and act in the same way .«
