Luke
10:25-37
NIV
Translation
Luke
10
25
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher,"
he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
26"What
is written in the Law?" he replied. "How
do you read it?"
27
He
answered: " '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, 'Love your
neighbor as yourself.' "
28
"You
have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do
this and you will live."
29
But
he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
30
In
reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped
him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.
31
A
priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man,
he passed by on the other side.
32
So
too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the
other side.
33
But
a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him,
he took pity on him.
34
He
went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put
the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him.
35
The
next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look
after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra
expense you may have.'
36
"Which
of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the
hands of robbers?"
37
The
expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."
Jesus
told him, "Go and do likewise." |

Luke

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?"
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." |
