Luke 10:34-36
EasyEnglish Bible
34 He went across to him. He poured oil and wine on the places where he was bleeding.[a] Then he tied those places with clean cloths. After that, he put the man on his own donkey to carry him. They arrived at a small hotel. He took the man in there and he was kind to him.[b]
35 The next day, the man from Samaria took out two silver coins from his purse.[c] He gave the money to the man that was taking care of the hotel. “Be kind to this man for me,” he said. “This money may not be enough. When I return, I will pay you for any more that you have spent on him.” ’
36 Then Jesus asked the teacher of God's Law a question. He said, ‘Three men saw the man that was lying on the road. Which of them showed love to him, like a real friend?’
