Luke

Luke 10:32–37

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?”

³⁷“The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law.

Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
