Love My Neighbour

The Good Samaritan
From the Living Bible

Luke 10: 30-37
30. Jesus replied with an illustration: "A Jew going on a trip from Jerusalem to Jericho was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes and money and beat him up and left him lying half dead beside the road.
31. "By chance a Jewish priest came along; and when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by.
32. "A Jewish Temple-assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but then went on.
33. "But a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw him, he felt deep pity.
34. "Kneeling beside him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with medicine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his donkey and walked along beside him till they came to an inn, where he nursed him through the night.
35. "The next day, he handed the innkeeper two twenty-dollar bills and told him to take care of the man. 'If his bill runs higher than that,' he said, 'I'll pay the difference the next time I am here.'
36. "Now, which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the bandits' victim?".
37. The man replied, "The one who showed him some pity."
Then Jesus said, "Yes, now go and do the same."
