- One day a lawyer asked Jesus, “The Bible says we should love our neighbors as our selves, but who is my Neighbour?”
- Jesus answered back, “One day a man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him off his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.
- A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
- A Samaritan (who was the mans arch-enemy) was travelling, came to where the man was and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine.
- He then put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out 2 silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper.
- “Look after him”, he said, “And when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you have.”
- “Now which of these three do you think acted like a Neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”Jesus asked the lawyer. The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus then told him, “Go and do likewise.”
