LUKE 10:29–36
29 Wanting to justify himself, the man asked Jesus: “And who is my neighbour?”
30 Jesus replied: A man was travelling from Jerusalem down to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They took what he had, beat him and left him badly wounded.
31 A priest happened to travel along the same road. When he saw the injured man, he passed by on the other side.
32 In the same way, a Levite came to the place, saw the man and continued on his way.
33 Then a Samaritan came by while travelling. When he saw the wounded man, he was moved with compassion.
34 He went to him, treated his wounds and bandaged them. Then he placed him on his own animal, brought him to an inn and cared for him.
35 The next day he gave the innkeeper money and said: “Take care of him. If you spend more, I will repay you when I return.”
36 Jesus asked: “Which of these three became a neighbour to the man who had fallen into the hands of the robbers?”
