And behold, a certaine Lawyer stood vp, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I doe to inherite eternall life? He said vnto him,

What is written in the law? how readest thou?

And he answering, said, Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy strength, and with all thy minde, and thy neighbour as thy selfe.

And he said vnto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt liue.

But he willing to iustifie himselfe, said vnto Iesus, And who is my neighbour?

And Iesus answering, said, A certaine man went downe from Hierusalem to Iericho, and fel among theeues, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leauing him halfe dead.

And by chaunce there came downe a certaine Priest that way, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

And likewise a Leuite, when hee was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

But a certaine Samaritane as he iourneyed, came where he was; and when hee saw him, hee had compassion on him,

And went to him, and bound vp his wounds, powring in oile and wine, and set him on his owne beast, and brought him to an Inne, and tooke care of him.

And on the morrow when he departed, hee tooke out two pence, and gaue them to the hoste, and saide vnto him, Take care of him, and whatsoeuer thou spendest more, when I come againe I will repay thee.

Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour vnto him that fell among the theeues?

And he said, He that shewed mercie on him. Then said Iesus vnto him, Goe, and doe thou likewise.
