25 And lo, a lawyer certain stood up, tempting him, and saying: O teacher, what shall I do life agelasting I may inherit?

26 He and said to him: In the law what has been written? how readest thou?

27 He and answering said: Thou shalt love Lord the God of thee out of whole of the heart of thee, and out of whole of the soul of thee, and out of whole of the strength of thee, and out of whole of the mind of thee; and the neighbor of thee as thyself.

28 He said and to him: Rightly thou hast answered; this do, and thou shalt live.

29 He but choosing to justify himself, said to the Jesus: And who is of me a neighbor?

30 Replying and the Jesus said: A man certain was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and robbers fell among; who both stripping him and blows having inflicted, they departed, leaving half dead being.

31 By chance and a priest certain was going down in the way that, and seeing him, passed along.

32 In like manner and also a Levite, having come near the place, coming and seeing, passed along.

33 A Samaritan but certain traveling, came near him, and seeing him, he was moved with pity.

34 And having approached he moved the wounds of him, pouring on oil and wine; having set and him on the own beast led him to an inn, and he took care of him.

35 And on the next day having come out, having taken out two denarii he gave to the inn keeper, and said to him: Take care of him; and whatever thou mayest expend more, I, in the return me, I will pay to thee.

36 Which then of them of the three a neighbor seems to thee to have been to the having fallen among the robbers?

37 He and said: He having shown the pity towards him. Said and to him the Jesus: Go, and thou do in like manner.

25 A lawyer stood up to test him. He asked: »Teacher what shall I do to inherit everlasting life?«

26 He said: »What is written in the law? How do you read it?«

27 He answered: »Love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your life, with all your strength and with all your mind. Feelings and total existenceMight and total thinking capacity And you should love your neighbor as yourself.« (Deuteronomy 6:5) (Leviticus 19:18)

28 He told him: »You answered correctly, do this and you will live.«

29 Desiring to justify himself, he said to Jesus: »Who is my neighbor?«

30 Jesus answered: »A man traveled from Jerusalem to Jericho. He fell among robbers. They stripped him, beat him and left him half dead.

31 »A priest traveled on that road. When he saw him he passed by on the other side.

32 »When a Levite came to the place he saw the man and passed by on the other side.

33 »Then a Samaritan arrived where he was. He was moved with compassion when he saw him.

34 »He went to him and bandaged his wounds pouring oil and wine on them. He set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn to take care of him.

35 »The next day he paid the host two shillings. He said take care of him and if you spend more I will repay you when I return.

36 »Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?«

37 He said: »The one who showed mercy to him.« Jesus said to him: »Go and you do like wise.«
