To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From; GOD THE FATHER, THE
LORD JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD,
The Helper, that He may be with you forever. [John
14:16 ]
25 And a lawyer stood
up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit
eternal life?”
26 And He said to him,
“What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?”
27 And
he answered, “You shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart, and
with all your soul, and with all
your strength, and with all your
mind; and your neighbor as
yourself.”
28 And He said to him,
“You have answered correctly; do this and you will
live.”
29 But wishing to
justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
The Good Samaritan
30 Jesus replied and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem
to Jericho , and
fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving
him half dead.
31 “And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when
he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 “Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw
him, passed by on the other side.
33 “But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and
when he saw him, he felt compassion,
34 and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and
wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn
and took care of him.
35 “On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the
innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I
return I will repay you.’
36 “Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to
the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”
37 And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then
Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.”
