29. But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30. And Jesus replied and said, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who both stripped him and beat him. After inflicting blows on him, they went away, leaving him half dead.
31. Now by coincidence a certain priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.
32. And in the same way also a Levite, when he came down to the place and saw him, passed by on the opposite side.
33. But a certain Samaritan who was traveling came up to him and, when he saw him, had compassion.
34. And he came up and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine, and he put him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.
35. And on the next day, he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, and said, “Take care of him, and whatever you spend in addition, I will repay to you when I return.
36. Which of these three do you suppose became a neighbor of the man who fell among the robbers?”
37. So he said, “The one who showed mercy to him.” And Jesus said to him, “You go and do likewise.”
