²⁵ And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying, Master, what must I do to possess eternal life?

²⁶ But he said to him: What is written in the law? how readest thou?

²⁷ He answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself.

²⁸ And he said to him: Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

²⁹ But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour?

³⁰ And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.

³¹ And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by.

³² In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by.

³³ But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him; and seeing him, was moved with compassion.

³⁴ And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

³⁵ And the next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee.

³⁶ Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?

³⁷ But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off;

¹³ And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, master, have mercy on us.

¹⁴ Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean.

¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.

¹⁶ And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine?

¹⁸ There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.

¹⁹ And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.
