Luke 10:30-37

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

³⁰ Then Jesus answered and said: "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among ₁ thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. ³¹ "Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, _k he passed by on the other side. ³² "Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. ³³ "But a certain _l Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had _m compassion. ³⁴ "So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. ³⁵ "On the next day, ₂ when he departed, he took out two _n denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.' ³⁶ "So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?" ³⁷ And he said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, _o "Go and do likewise."
