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.«
