25 E eis que se levantou um certo doutor da lei, tentando-o, e dizendo: Mestre, que farei para herdar a vida eterna?

26 E ele lhe disse: Que está escrito na lei? Como lês?

27 E, respondendo ele, disse: Amarás ao Senhor teu Deus de todo o teu coração, e de toda a tua alma, e de todas as tuas forças, e de todo o teu entendimento, e ao teu próximo como a ti mesmo.

28 E disse-lhe: Respondeste bem; faze isso, e viverás.

29 Ele, porém, querendo justificar-se a si mesmo, disse a Jesus: E quem é o meu próximo?

30 E, respondendo Jesus, disse: Descia um homem de Jerusalém para Jericó, e caiu nas mãos dos salteadores, os quais o despojaram, e espancando-o, se retiraram, deixando-o meio morto.

31 E, ocasionalmente descia pelo mesmo caminho certo sacerdote; e, vendo-o, passou de largo.

32 E de igual modo também um levita, chegando àquele lugar, e, vendo-o, passou de largo.

33 Mas um samaritano, que ia de viagem, chegou ao pé dele e, vendo-o, moveu-se de íntima compaixão;

34 E, aproximando-se, atou-lhe as feridas, deitando-lhes azeite e vinho; e, pondo-o sobre o seu animal, levou-o para uma estalagem, e cuidou dele;

35 E, partindo no outro dia, tirou dois dinheiros, e deu-os ao hospedeiro, e disse-lhe: Cuida dele; e tudo o que de mais gastares eu to pagarei quando voltar.

36 Qual, pois, destes três te parece que foi o próximo daquele que caiu nas mãos dos salteadores?

37 E ele disse: O que usou de misericórdia para com ele. Disse, pois, Jesus: Vai, e faze da mesma maneira.

25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and made trial of him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 And he said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor? 30 Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion, 34 and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 And on the morrow he took out two shillings, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will repay thee. 36 Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbor unto him that fell among the robbers? 37 And he said, He that showed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
