Luke

Luke 10:30–36

³⁰Jesus took up this question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.

³¹Now by chance a priest was going down the same road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

³²So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side.

³³But a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, and when he saw him, he had compassion. ³⁴He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

³⁵The next day he took out two denarii^e and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and on my return I will repay you for any additional expense.’

³⁶Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
