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 tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 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 neighbour as thyself. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
