7 The lawyer said, My neighbor, who is he?
8 And Jesus said, A man was going from Jerusalem to Jericho, and lo, he met with robbers on the way, who beat him, robbed him of his goods, and left him bleeding by the way.
9 A Pharisee was going down that way; he saw the wounded man; but then he had no time to lose; he passed by on the other side.
10 A Levite came and saw the man; but he was loath to soil his sacerdotal robes, and he passed by.
11 A lawyer on his way to Jericho observed the dying man, and then he said, If I could make a shekel I might help the man; but he has nothing left to give, I have no time for charity; and he passed on.
12 And then a stranger from Samaria came that way; he saw the wounded man; his heart was touched with pity and he stopped, dismounted from his horse,
13 Revived the man, and placed him on his horse and took him to an inn and charged the keeper of the inn to nurse him back to strength.
14 He gave the keeper all the money that he had and said, Your charges may be more than this, but care for this unfortunate, and when I come again I will pay all; and then he went his way.
15 Now, master of the law, which of these four was neighbor unto him who fell among the thieves?
16 The lawyer said, The man who showed him mercy; he who cared for him.
