Luke:10:25-37
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And ,
behold ,
a certain lawyer stood up ,
and tempted him ,
saying ,
Master ,
what shall I do to inherit eternal life ?
*
He said unto him ,
What is written in the law ?
how readest thou ?
*
And he answering said ,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart ,
and with all thy soul ,
and with all thy strength ,
and with all thy mind ;
and thy neighbour as thyself .
*
And he said unto him ,
Thou hast answered right :
this do ,
and thou shalt live .
*
But he ,
willing to justify himself ,
said unto Jesus ,
And who is my neighbour ?
*
And Jesus answering said ,
A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho ,
and fell among thieves ,
which stripped him of his raiment ,
and wounded him ,
and departed ,
leaving him half dead .
*
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way :
and when he saw him ,
he passed by on the other side .
*
And likewise a Levite ,
when he was at the place ,
came and looked on him ,
and passed by on the other side .
*
But a certain Samaritan ,
as he journeyed ,
came where he was :
and when he saw him ,
he had compassion on him ,
*
And went to him ,
and bound up his wounds ,
pouring in oil and wine ,
and set him on his own beast ,
and brought him to an inn ,
and took care of him .
*
And on the morrow when he departed ,
he took out two pence ,
and gave them to the host ,
and said unto him ,
Take care of him ;
and whatsoever thou spendest more ,
when I come again ,
I will repay thee .
*
Which now of these three ,
thinkest thou ,
was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves ?
*
And he said ,
He that shewed mercy on him .
Then said Jesus unto him ,
Go ,
and do thou likewise .
