Taking up the question, Yeshua said: "A man was
going down from Yerushalayim to Yericho when he was attacked by robbers.
They stripped him naked and beat him up, then went off, leaving him half
dead.
31
By coincidence, a cohen was going down on that road;
but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32
Likewise a Levi who reached the place and saw him
also passed by on the other side.
33
"But a man from Shomron who was traveling came
upon him; and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
34
So he went up to him, put oil and wine on his wounds
and bandaged them. Then he set him on his own donkey, brought him to an
inn and took care of him.
35
The next day, he took out two days' wages, gave them
to the innkeeper and said, `Look after him; and if you spend more than
this, I'll pay you back when I return.'
36
Of these three, which one seems to you to have
become the `neighbor' of the man who fell among robbers?"
37
He answered, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Yeshua said
to him, "You go and do as he did." |
