And lo! a certain lawyer, arose, putting him to the test, saying - Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit, life age-abiding?

And, he, said unto him - In the law, what is written? how dost thou read?

And, he, answering, said - Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, out of all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thine intention; and thy neighbour, as thyself?

And he said unto him - Rightly, hast thou answered: This, do, and thou shalt live.

But, he, wishing to justify himself, said unto Jesus - And, who is, my, neighbour?

And taking up the question , Jesus said - A certain man, was going down from Jerusalem unto Jericho, and, with robbers, fell in, - who, stripping him, and inflicting, wounds, upon him, departed, leaving him, half dead.

And, by chance, a certain priest, was coming down by that road, and, seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side.

And, in like manner, a Levite also, coming down to the place, and seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side.

But, a certain Samaritan, going on his journey, came down to him, and, seeing him, was moved with compassion;

and, coming near, bound up his bruises, pouring thereon oil and wine, - and, setting him on his own beast, brought him into an inn, and took care of him.

And, on the morrow, throwing out two denaries, he gave them to the inn-keeper, and said - Take care of him, and, whatsoever thou shall further spend, I, when on my way back, will duly pay thee.

Which of these three, seemeth unto thee to have become, neighbour, unto him who fell among the robbers?

And, he, said - He who dealt mercifully with him. And Jesus said unto him - Be taking thy journey, and, thou, be doing, in like manner.
